What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the stain for its rich, beautiful color, smooth application, and quick drying time, with many noting it covers like paint and requires just one coat. The thick consistency allows excellent coverage, and cleanup is simple with soap and water. However, a notable portion report that dried color doesn't match online images or expectations, appearing lighter or different than anticipated. Some customers also warn against ordering online, citing issues with receiving untinted product instead of selected colors. Despite these concerns, most customers find the overall quality and finish worthwhile for their projects.

tint was not added
When I picked up my stain I opened the can, always open before leaving. They did not add the tint. I ordered tint. unbelievable. (one time they added color to the paint and did not mix it, just a blob of color when I opened it at home and had to go back. I always check now) This is more of a gray color and looks nothing like a acorn. Returned it.

Shipped UNTINTED
I ordered online and they sent a can of untinted base so cannot be used. On Minwax wedsite saw lots of complaints with Lowes for doing this. No one near me had this color so ordered online, not driving a long way to get it tinted. Suggest you go to a store to buy.

Great coverage
This is a great stain if you need a water based stain. I had done a paint wash on a furniture piece, and it didn’t achieve the color I wanted. This water based stain worked well, and I was able to apply it over the paint wash instead of having to sand to bare wood again.

Bought this to make my own color wash
Purchased this to help get my cabinets in the bathroom, the same color as the ones in my kitchen. Purchased this as semi transparent and mixed it with a dark brown turned out great.
