What Customers Are Saying
The oil-based wood stain provides a beautiful, natural-looking color similar to hardwood floors or mahogany. It is easy to apply and offers good coverage, often requiring only two coats. Many customers praised the stain's durability, though some noted it may fade or require reapplication after about a year, especially on surfaces constantly exposed to the elements. A few reviewers also mentioned the strong fumes from the oil-based formula.

Great coverage and a beautiful shine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently stained my back porch with the sunlit walnut and it covered great and the color is perfect.

Fantastic
The color looks good. Was very easy to apply. I probably should have done 2 coats but one looks great.

Shows the beauty of the wood
Great oil based transparent stain. Let's the beauty of the wood show. I used it on my cedar gazebo. This stain does require two coats. The drying time is bit longer than most stains but it is well worth the wait. I'm very happy with this Cabot oil based stain.
