What Customers Are Saying

The Cabot wood stain appears to have mixed reviews. While some customers report the stain goes on easily, provides good coverage and color, and is durable, others experienced issues with the color not matching expectations and the stain peeling or fading within a year. The stain may work best on older, weathered wood, but its long-term durability seems inconsistent.

Great but test before you commit

Great product and has held up nicely in Florida weather! Only con is that it requires additional effort to select a color as the online photos vary from the stain color in person. Strongly recommend trying sample before you buy!

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.

Don't order this online

Would Not Recommend

When I order this online, they don't give it the required tint. For some reason the paint dept never gets involved and I get untinted unusable stain.
