What Customers Are Saying

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. Overall, while some were satisfied, a significant number had issues with the stain's performance and durability.

Valspar dries faster and can handle lower temps which worked out great because it got down to 38 degrees the night I applied

Not regretting it

Would Recommend

I like the dark color and the level of transparency so I can still see the wood grain. It shows dirt and mud from my dogs as expected, but has been easy to clean with just a hose and push broom. I did a 24x12 ft deck and have about half left but still need to do the steps and a small 5x5 step up, so I am glad I got the 5 gallon.
