What Customers Are Saying

The product offers a mixed performance, with some users reporting excellent results in terms of ease of use, quick drying time, and a rich, glossy finish. However, a significant number of customers experienced issues like uneven, blotchy, or inconsistent results, as well as difficulties with application. The color may not always match expectations. Overall, the product seems to require careful application and may not work well for all projects or wood types, so testing on a small area is recommended.

To start with, I like the way my new bed frame looks now due to me using this polyshade. My husband recently built me a new bed frame so we decided to give it a nice touch of color. Overall I’m so happy with the way it turned out to look

One step color + poly with a wide shade selection

Would Recommend

I needed to match some very old oak flooring. I tried several stains and could not get it just right, the polyshades Pecan gave just enough amber to match the existing flooring, and because it is a one step process (stain and poly in one) I was done quickly. Once the finiah was cured I bugged the sheen down to match the existing flooring and the project was done.
