What Customers Are Saying

The Cabot semi-solid deck stain received mixed reviews. Some customers found it easy to apply with good coverage and color matching, and reported it protected and enhanced the appearance of their outdoor wood surfaces. However, many experienced issues with the stain's durability, as it often peeled or faded within a year. There were also complaints about color consistency, with some receiving a different shade than expected. The overall consensus is that the stain can provide good results when applied properly, but long-term performance may be inconsistent.

Buyer Beware…

Would Not Recommend

Purchased this product due to the color swatch provided by the manufacturer. Completed finish was no where close. Stain was stated as a “brown” tone, but finished tone ended up a “red” tone! Not what I was looking for. Will purchase another brand next time!

Darker colors lighter than expected

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this stain and added black. The semisolid was much lighter than the picture. I ended up painting over the stain.
