Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Highly recommend this product. It’s a great texture and I only had to apply one coat. This color is a beautiful and applies nicely.

Looks ok
Semi solid black was like thinned black ink painted on wood. It could look very uneven.

Lowes Web Nightmare
Would Not RecommendAfter recently purchasing two appliances which turned out to be a nightmare on-line purchase, I made the mistake of ordering a paint brush, paint pail and deck stain intended to be delivered. I thought I checked the delivery box but only checked that box for two items. I had to drive 30 miles for the nearest Lowes to pick up the brush or was told that it would be a $79 delivery charge for the brush. The paint pail and stain were delivered in two separate shipments. The stain is NOT WHAT I ORDERE...

Product support
Would Not RecommendOrdered the stain and Lowes delivered the base can without adding the stain. Said it is up to me to drive to the store and spend my time and gas to correct their error. Talk about great customer service and commitment to make things right.

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!
