Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the stain for its ease of application, smooth coverage, and ability to enhance natural wood grain while keeping texture visible. Most note one coat provides full coverage with even finish and minimal product waste. The semi-transparent finish receives consistent acclaim for its rich, authentic appearance. However, a notable group reports color discrepancies—appearing lighter or more yellow than online samples suggested. Despite this concern, many find the durable finish worth the investment, with reviewers reporting it withstands weather and UV exposure well over time. Overall, most customers recommend it despite color accuracy issues.

Fine stain
Would RecommendA bit on the red side, but good when mixed with another lighter stain. Applied well enough, but needed to be remixed often as it would separate.

Bluffton Lowe’s Sucks
Would Not RecommendThey messed up my order. Delivered the stain untinted despite the bucket clearly saying “Must Be Tinted” and my ordering a specific color. And then when I called to have it corrected told me it would be five days before they could get it to me (I had already paid $79 to have it delivered) and that my only option was to make the hour and a half round trip to the store. Absolutely terrible experience.

Arrived with no color
Would Not RecommendI ordered this for in store pickup as the app said it was in stock. I was later notified it was not in stock so it was switched to delivery. The delivery was fast but the stain had no color to it and was given the incorrect stain.

WHY does everything now have to be tinted?
Would RecommendWhy does everything now have to be tinted? The product itself was good, but just wanted to quickly run in and grab a small light colored stain for a craft project. Ended up waiting 20 minutes at the paint counter because everything (stain) now has to be tinted? Super inconvenient. Don't know when you stopped having already colored stain on your shelves - as it's been a few years since I've needed stain, but yeah - would suggest putting some on your shelves for a quick pick-up.
