What Customers Are Saying

The wood stain is easy to apply, dries smoothly, and provides excellent coverage and color, allowing users to achieve professional-looking results. It enhances the natural wood grain and brings out the beauty of the wood, working well on a variety of wood types. The stain is available in a wide range of color options, with the most popular being natural, red, and dark walnut shades. While the oil-based formula has a strong odor, it is durable and long-lasting, though some customers prefer the water-based versions for easier cleanup. Proper wood preparation is recommended to achieve the best results and avoid blotchiness.

Photo on the can does not match actual stain color

This stain looks NOTHING like the photo on the can. Very glad we only purchased a very small can to check it out.

Simply the Best

Would Recommend

No other brand can compare. The application is smooth and the finish is gorgeous. One application is all you need. While this brand suggests no wiping is necessary, I still wipe gently with a microfiber cloth to ensure there are no overly stained areas. Perfection.
