Multiple projects in one can, depending on how big your project is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had to find a tool to remove the top peices and lid after that it was easy to use. Shake before using or mix it some. I don't know if you have to do that but I did. Lasted and still have lots left for another project. I used it on an old TV tray. Love the color. Great value for your money.

Gives wood products a nice pop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wood finish is easy to apply, especially with the Purdy soft bristle brush. Coverage wise, it gives the wood a nice even color. Follow the directions and allow 5 min to set in, then wipe off. Nect apply top coat for maximum durability. No harsh chemical odor.

Novice at Staining Wood

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The application was flawless. The coverage was great. It dried faster than expected. The smell was that of a typical stain. It was compatible with my wood.

Transformed my Project!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Minwax Wood Finish Color Series Dark Walnut Premium Oil-Based Stain gave me the exact results that I was looking for. I couldn’t be more pleased with this stain. Application was super easy. Make sure you wear rubber gloves to protect your skin. As you can see in the pictures the deep and rich walnut tone looks so good. Drying time was quick. Now I can’t wait to try some of the other colors!

Great color and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time staining wood for a small art project. It was so easy to do! There are instructions on the can that I followed. I was surprised it didn’t have a stronger chemical smell when I opened it but still made sure I was working in a well ventilated area. I only used a little bit initially and I’m surprised it covered a lot of the small block. The color is great! You can see the before and after colors in my photo

One coat stain with great coverage!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stain spreads evenly and covers with one single coat. Easy to apply and great coverage. Stays true to the color of the stain. First coat dries fairly quickly. I do not recommend a second coat.

Excellent quality stain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a high quality, easy to use stain. It applies smooth and covers well. I’m in the process of redoing a few pieces of furniture and this stain looks beautiful on the table top I’m finishing now. I stripped and sanded the piece, then applied the stain — it’s flawless. I love how even it applies and how nice the color is.

Easy to work with

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wood finish is easy to work with and creates a smooth finish. I used the paint brush along with this woodstain from this sample combo, and the result was great! I wish there was another color I can choose to match the rest of the furniture style in my house

Easy to apply Wood Finish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this new wood stain from Minwax. Easy to stir up and apply. Super thick so I only need one coat. Not much of an odor at all. Excited to use this color stain on other projects.

Can't wait for the next project!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this walnut stain! Will be doing more projects with the wife but I've been wanting to upgrade one of my longboards. No strong smell, has lasted weeks already with heavy use. Easy to put on as I had my 3 year old do most of this project.

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked as expected. Very nice, rich, color. Can’t speak to the durability as of this point, however I can say it applied very well and dried nicely.

Quality stain, be aware of oil base vs water base application

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Minwax Amber stain is easy to use and provides nice coverage. My photos show a sample of Amber stain with one coat and two coats on the far right of the stick. It’s a very nice, warm color. It can be applied with a brush or a rag, and it can be re-coated after two hours. Oil based stain is definitely more durable than water based stain. You’ll need to keep in mind that the fumes are much more intense with oil based stain. Therefore, I wou...

Dried quick, went on easy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this stain! I used it to stain a wood slice. It soaked in and dried quickly. It was very easy to apply. The odor was not very noticeable.

Good wood stained

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This leaves a pretty good and cool finish on wood. As a beginner this is pretty easy to use. I left it to dry for about a day and it was good. The odor is a little strong .

Stain on pine wood almost yellowish, but a good product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used the amber stain (one coat) on 2 woods, white oak and pine. The stain was easy to apply for both woods, and dried quickly. What we did next was apply one coat of polyurethane. The smell from the stain was almost non existent. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the pine almost had a yellowish tinge. The white oak looked great. Just test your woods before applying.
