    • Good product, easy to use
Size: 4 Ounce Color: Dark Walnut
Bought this stain for a particular project. The spongetip applicator made staining really easy and far less messy than usual. Really beautiful rich walnut color, too. Definitely recommend 2 others.

    • So easy to use!

Review Image by Andrew Andrew
I used this product to stain some shelves that I had on the wall in my bathroom so it matched the rest of the shelving. It was so easy to use and one coat was all that was needed to make the shelves look perfect. It wasn’t messy at all. I was able to stain the shelves while they were still hung up, that’s how easy to use it was! ... show more

    • Patience and a keen eye
Size: 4 Ounce Color: Ebony
Staining with this product takes some patience and regular reassessment of your work. The sponge applicator works as intended, delivering some stain to clean wood, but you really have to work it around and reapply more stain through shaking the bottle for consistency in final appearance. Not dissatisfied at all, just sharing my experience ... show more

    • Not crazy about this.
Size: 4 Ounce Color: Espresso
I needed to stain wooden blocks to raise a table. I thought this would be easier than using the bottle of stain and cloth I already had…. I was wrong. The stain barely came out and when it did you couldn’t spread it with the top you had to use a cloth but by the time you put the bottle down to grab the cloth you already have a mark where the stain came out on the wood. And the blocks were super smooth, kinda even shiny looking so they were not porous. So I had to use something else for what I needed to do. ... show more

Size: 4 Ounce Color: Golden Oak
I am trying to match the coloring of our discontinued laminate flooring to complete the stair landing with wood for the stair nose. I figured that I should give this a try. I am quite surprised at the results! It is a close match as it doesn’t darken the grain overtly, but it is a start. The applicator makes it easy and there is no mess! There is enough to complete the piece with plenty for future touch ups! ... show more

    • Awful
Size: 4 Ounce Color: Dark Walnut
I thought this would be good to use for a small project. It is terrible! The sponge doesn't work. You can either not have enough or have too much stain, there is no in between. I ended up having to rip the sponge off and squirt the stain on a brush to use, which pretty much defeats the whole purpose. ... show more

    • Fixed a spot on Basset Benchmade table
Size: 4 Ounce Color: Smoke Gray
Our dachshund chewed on one of our very expensive Bassett Benchmade table when he was a puppy. I quickly treated it with green apple spray and he left it alone after that. I decided to try to fix and mixed the gray shade with the gray brown and you can’t even tell now! It looks great! Thank you!
