What Customers Are Saying

The Cabot wood stain received mixed reviews. Many customers found it easy to apply with good coverage and color matching, providing a nice, even finish that allowed the wood grain to show through. However, some reported issues with the color not matching expectations, poor penetration leading to peeling, and a thin, watery consistency making even application difficult. The quality and performance of the stain appears to be somewhat inconsistent.

Neutral not Oak Brown

Would Not Recommend

I ordered 7 gallons of Oak Brown Semi-Solid and found out I had received 7 gallons Neutral Base that requires tinting. Of course I found this out after the work crew arrived to stain my deck. I contacted Lowes and was told that's how they send it out and if I wanted Oak Brown, I needed to bring them back to Lowes to be tinted... Kind of defeats the purpose of ordering online! I sent the work crew away and will have to reschedule. I took the 7 gallons to the nearest Lowes, which is almost 50m...

Works Great

I used this stain to paint an outdoor potting bench. It has been in the rain for a month now and still looks new.

Good for outdoor furniture

Would Recommend

This is more than a stain and leaves a sort of protective coating on your wood to help it withstand the weather. This is my first time using and only have a month of data, but so far it's great. Lowes actually custom moxes this at their store if you order it online.

The entire delivery was wrong

Would Not Recommend

The delivered item was not what I ordered and the response from Lowes' was completely unacceptable. The company would do nothing to help me but, make me run around to a remote store and taking the item to be fixed. They would not help and would not refund or anything. I had to do everything, and they would not assist.
