What Customers Are Saying

The Minwax Polyshades product has received mixed reviews. Many customers found it easy to apply and liked the convenience of the combined stain and polyurethane. They reported good color results and a durable finish. However, some customers struggled to get an even, consistent application and were disappointed with the final appearance, finding it too glossy or not dark enough. A few customers had major issues with the product, describing it as "gummy", "streaky", and "uneven". Overall, the reviews suggest the product may work well for simple home projects but may not be the best choice for more complex or high-quality finishing needs.

Not much of this product is ever in stock

Would Recommend

The product itself is great - the lack of stock was the issue. There weren't any on the shelf and I had to order a mini size online.

Right Color for matching an old floor

Would Recommend

One of the few mahogany colored products available to touch up some spots on a mahogany colored wooden floor. Not a completely perfect match, but oh so close and fits the need.

Don’t use the mix type. Stain first and then seal.

Would Not Recommend

Very little stain in mix. It never did get dark. Don’t do the stain and seal mix.
