What Customers Are Saying

Most highlight vibrant, true-to-palette results with excellent grain visibility and professional appearance. The thick consistency enables full coverage in one coat with quick drying times, making it approachable for beginners. Many note the oil-based formula outperforms water-based alternatives in longevity and fade resistance. Some mention the product sits on the surface rather than penetrating deeply, and a few report inconsistent results with custom colors. Overall, reviewers strongly recommend it for reliable, long-lasting finishes.

This stain gets the job done!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this to stain the poles used to hang clothes in my closet. Application was super easy and drying time fairly quick compared to other brands! I'd definitely buy this again and would highly recommend to anyone needing to stain something with minimal effort!

Wood finish stain
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The application process was very easy. It has buildable coverage, it comes shipped with seals on it to prevent leakage and the Oder is barley there.

Easy application and nice touch up for your floor!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never used a wood stain before but this product made me realize how much I needed it. Quick dry and application. I rent an apartment and I’m sure when I leave the next tenants will appreciate this touch up🤣 no strong odor either, amazing coverage!

Beautiful color
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so glad I received the darker tint because the coverage was amazing. I did a test swab to see if I would love the color and the application was great. As soon as I did a test swab, the drying time was so quick and there was a little hint of odor but nothing to bad.

Wood finish color series
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the wood finish color series to touch up some damaged wood around the house. It has a great coverage and not in need of many applications. The drying time seemed pretty quick.

No streaking, easy to apply, beautiful color!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product works wonderfully! It added a lovely color to my wooden stand, and the application process is easy peasy! It covers well with not a ton of product, does not have a super strong odor, and dries quickly without streaking! I expect this application to last for many years!

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

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
