The Valspar Simply Cedar semi-transparent stain received mixed reviews. Many customers reported the stain went on easily, provided good coverage and water protection, and produced an attractive color. Several noted it held up well over time. However, some found the color did not match expectations or that the stain did not penetrate the wood properly, leading to peeling and flaking. A few received improperly tinted cans.

Would RecommendPerfect size for small projects such as porch chairs. I used it tinted with November Gray for a small bench that is partially out in the open, and when it rained the water beaded and wiped off easily.

Want to avoid rebuilding an entire wooden deck?
Would RecommendYears ago, I built a large wooden deck with treated wood and stained it with oil based stain, but within a few years an entire section exposed to the sprinkler system rotted, so I replaced it and stained that with Valspar stain. It has lasted so well that now that I have to replace the rest, I am using nothing but Valspar (4 gallons!) and the whole thing looks great.

Good product at a good price.
Would RecommendI have used this in the past and had good luck, hence my buying more. The colors are true to swatches. The color wears well and it will fade a little over time, so take that in condiserations when buying this prouduct
