Lowes Veldspar Stain

An excellent stain. I bought the same product in 2016. The stain is still holding up in 2026. I will repaint my home eventually! The best stain money can buy!

Transparent :)

Would Recommend

Stain was used and worked well on my child’s mud table. The stain is transparent so it felt like I was paining nothing but it actually put a coat on.
