What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this wood stain for delivering rich, true-to-bottle colors that enhance wood grain beautifully. Most highlight smooth, even application requiring just one coat for full coverage, with quick drying enabling same-day topcoat application. The wide shade variety earns consistent commendation for precise color matching on oak, pine, and walnut. Many appreciate the low odor compared to similar products, though some note fumes still require ventilation. A few report surface-level penetration or inconsistent results on certain woods, but these concerns rarely outweigh satisfaction with color quality and ease of use.

Would Not RecommendWords cannot explain just how terribly disappointed I am with this product. I have used Miinwax stains and polys for years but only with natural wood stains. This stuff not only doesn't work IMO, it ruined five red oak boxes that I made. I applied it just as described. Rubbing it in as best that I possibly could after using a foam brush to lay it on as thin as possible. I put it on a fan for 24 hours and then picked it up to find every surface was sticky and the wisteria stain that my customer s...

An interesting and colorful stain
Would RecommendThis is a bit thicker than normal stain, and the color is pretty vibrant. It's still a stain, but has more paint like thickness. I think it looks great on maple, but keep in mind that it's going to be a golden color, not the orangish brown on the photo.

Great product if you want to match another color.
Would RecommendI had Sherwin Williams paint store custom mix and match the color of my oak flooring. I made hickory window sills and oak frame for a wall mounted tv. The stain felt a bit thick to apply. I use a staining cloth foam pad to apply. I let it set for 5 minutes (set a timer) then I wiped off the access, which took a little elbow grease. I did apply a prestain to the hickory but not to the oak. I think I will apply the prestain to the rest of my trim. I have to say the color match was perfect. The s...
