Custom shade vintage cabinet makeover on
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Refinished vintage family hutch. Did a custom color by mixing weathered oak with rustic beige. Used prestain conditioner and poly finish. Very happy with how it turned out. The stain went on easy no blotches.

Easy to apply, decks look great
The product is fine- we put it on our decks to protect the wood even though it’s not an outdoor product. My complaint is your inventory inaccuracy! All 3 stores in Anchorage had wrong numbers, and I tried to call to verify, no one answers the phone. I went to all 3 stores. You’d think that the number “17 available”would at least have 2, but no! Get your computers up to date, please. Do better

Best Stain Color!
Over the past 2 years, I’ve purchased probably 20 cans of this stain. I’ve used it on my fences, posts, all projects I’ve done around the house.
