Buy the pint size first
Would Not RecommendThe suggested paint color was wrong, the pint size was out of stock so I was forced to buy the gallon. Total waste of $70.

Great Product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, the packaging. I love that metal clips are included to keep the lid securely on. Once opened, the smell was not too strong. I mixed the product and applied to the framing in the photo and it applied so smoothly. I let it dry overnight with one coat and that was the result. Coverage & color looks great. I may apply a second coat to see how dark & rich it gets. Overall, I am happy with this product & look forward to staining more things in...

More like paint
Would Not RecommendWoodworkers beware This product is more like paint than stain. VERY LOW penetration even on soft wood. it will not soak into the heartwood on pine. We all know if we get oil based stain on our hands it soaks intot he skin and stays there for days. This wipes off with a rag. it will work for the project im using it on but would never buy again.

Perfect Wood Finish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The application of the Miniwax Wood Finish Color Series in Amber is a great product. It is easy to apply and work with. It goes on so smoothly and dries pretty quickly. You get good coverage for the size of the container. The smell is bearable and not off-putting like other products.

Wood finish stain
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The application process was very easy. It has buildable coverage, it comes shipped with seals on it to prevent leakage and the Oder is barley there.

Easy application and nice touch up for your floor!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never used a wood stain before but this product made me realize how much I needed it. Quick dry and application. I rent an apartment and I’m sure when I leave the next tenants will appreciate this touch up🤣 no strong odor either, amazing coverage!

Beautiful color
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so glad I received the darker tint because the coverage was amazing. I did a test swab to see if I would love the color and the application was great. As soon as I did a test swab, the drying time was so quick and there was a little hint of odor but nothing to bad.

Wood finish color series
