What Customers Are Saying

The product offers good coverage and vibrant color, with some customers reporting only needing one coat. It effectively protects and revives the appearance of wood surfaces. However, there are issues with performance and durability, including peeling, flaking, and uneven application. The color may not match samples or be consistent between cans. Some customers feel the product is more like a paint than a true stain. Overall, the quality and consistency seem inconsistent, so thorough testing and multiple coats may be required for best results.

No tint

Would Not Recommend

Ordered via mail. No tint and no real way to get ahold of customer service. Extremely frustrating waste of money.

Don't sell the option to tint online if you're only going to send the base without the tint.

Good stain

Would Recommend

Decent, I didn’t entirely know what I was doing so it isn’t incredibly even, but it’s good enough and probably not the stains fault lol.
