The water-based solid stain has a mixed reception, with some customers appreciating the wide color range, easy application, and thick consistency, while others reported issues with color matching, quick drying, and quality concerns.

Very thick gel like stain
This water based stain is thick just like other gel stains so it covers very well.

Yes, you can!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I watched my husband pull out of our driveway to attend a 30 hour out of town conference and at the same time called by best friend and simply said, “It’s a GO!”. She arrive 30 minutes later and we began the transformation of my dreary kitchen cabinets. Minwax could not have been an easier product for us to use.I am so pleased with the results and actually gasped with joy when I walked into the kitchen to make my morning coffee!! The sanding ...

Expected much better from this brand
Minwax makes some really good, affordable products. They tend to hit the sweet spot on cost-vs-value. Well... unfortunately, this isn't one of their better products. It goes on thickly, has a very short working time, and is incredibly difficult to remove. If you buy this, work in VERY SMALL sections. I found that 2 minutes was far too long to wait to remove stain. It was... just a disaster. I wound-up sanding back to wood and switching to their oil-based equivalent. I will never again buy one o...

Do NOT buy online
This is a great product, but unfortunately, when you order it online from Lowes you may only get a can of the base un-tinted product. I am not sure why Lowes does this, but this is my third try and each time I only received the un-tinted base. When I called customer service, the rep told me their system would not let them offer a replacement or provide a refund, so they passed me off to the store who shipped it. The rep at the store kept trying to send me back to customer service, but ultimately...

Don't by online - you'll get the un-tinted base
I live 40 miles away from the nearest Lowes. so I ordered a quart of this online. Unfortunately, rather than send the Cherry-Blossom tinted version I ordered, they sent the clear base product with no tint. I tried to start an exchange for the tinted product, but this seems to be beyond the ability of their new AI agent. I finally reached a living agent, but they just pointed me to returns via the website where evidently to even consider my request, I need to create a Lowes account (which I do NO...

Double check before leaving
They were suppose to tint the stain and never did. Now I have to drive all the way back to the store to have them do it

If you need a black stain, this is it!!
Overall was great product. Left a satin finish and I was able to darken the board to a really nice black. The consistancy of the stain was a little thicker than I wanted but it worked out. Make sure you stain and wipe in the direction of the wood grain.

Worst stain-basically paint
I’ve stained many things in my life and this is by far the worst stain I’ve ever bought. It’s basically just paint. It says to wipe it off after two minutes, good luck it just sticks and is literally like wiping paint off. It doesn’t work. It is ruined a table that I was working on. Now I have to sand it all off and start over.
