Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the water-based wood stain for vibrant color options, low odor, and quick cleanup. Most highlight the easy application and fast drying time, with many achieving beautiful, even finishes when following recommended techniques. The rich, accurate colors and user-friendly formula earn strong preference over oil-based alternatives. However, some report the stain dries too quickly, creating blotchy, paint-like patches difficult to correct. A few experienced significant disappointment, noting the opacity and consistency didn't match traditional stain expectations. Overall, most customers find it worthwhile for color quality and ease, though application technique matters considerably.

Would RecommendWe refinished our kitchen table and used this product. Turned out beautifully! Application was smooth, each coating was absorbed well, drying time is acceptable and the grain, color richness and surface shine all a delight to behold

Very difficult!!
Would Not RecommendUsed the black stain and was very difficult to to get even without start stop areas. Dries as fast as putting on so when wiping off leave start and stop lines, had to resend and work with 2 people applying and trying to wiping to consistent finish, then sanded twice after with steel wool to even out finish. thick like pudding and dries before able to wipe evenly!!

Great coverage for a stain
Would RecommendFirst time using a semi transparent kind of stain. Almost applies like paint but has a much more consistent coverage across the piece of lumber. A stain sponge worked great with this product and a separate wiping of the product wasnt necessary. Good stuff.

Nice result, learning curve needed
Would RecommendI didn’t note how orange my oak cabinets looked in my 1990s bathroom until I painted it green. This product isn’t too hard to use, however make sure you read the labels instructions and have plenty of extra rags or tshirt scraps available for wiping and do small sections at once. Perfect effect to tone down the orange but retain the natural wood look!
Looks very good.
Wanted to stain the wood boards I had also purchased so they blended in more.

Good Paint
I just happened to find this can of paint on clearance when I was desperate to find matching paint for a project I was doing. It went on so smooth and dried so fast. Great paint

Make sure to get one that is pre mixed
Would Not RecommendThe store sold it to me without the color mixed into it. Waste of time and money
