Not only does this coat beautifully, if you happen to get it on your hands if you quickly wipe it off with water, you don’t stain your fingers or your palms. Coats very well. (once you get the stain flowing onto the application sponge freely.)And leaves a beautiful semi flat finish

Perfect for small craft projects. The wooden dowel rod from Dollar Tree looks a million times better stained when I'm doing a macrame project. I used Golden Oak and the pic shows one coat. Dries quickly. Very easy to use and clean. I had no issues with application. I highly recommend!

I have a lovely old rock maple dining set I love. The buffet/server suffered water damage. I sanded down the area and applied this stain. While not like new, it did an amazing job of blending in with the vintage color. The applicator is mess free, unlike stain in a can. For the area I was working with, it worked best to dab it on with the applicator fully wet with stain, and then rub it with the grain. A great value for use on a small area.

Even with a good sanding it took a lot to get color set, but set it did but personally would not actively seek this one out if it were not on the shelf wherever I was shoppinb.

I didn’t want to paint my cabinets, but they looked dull, dried out and I just wanted them to look better. This product was super easy to apply (just like polishing a shoe) & gave them a richer look. After a small banister, 9 cabinet fronts, and 4 drawer faces, the sponge applicator was destroyed. There was plenty of stain left, but no way to get it out. Perhaps I pressed too hard, but you have to press down for the stain to come out. I would still buy again. Leaves cabinets a little sticky until it fully dries.Before (right cabinet done only) & After pictures.

Had to stain some wood pieces for a project I'm working on. I basically never work with wood and didn't want to end up buying a bunch of supplies I'd never use again, so this seemed ideal. It was not. Honest to gosh, I cannot imagine a possible reason to buy or use this product. If someone gave it to me for free I wouldn't use it. Heck, I PAID for the darn thing and went out to buy something else so I wouldn't have to use it anymore! Let me lay out the issues, as I see them:1) The squeeze- You have to CONSTANTLY squeeze it, at almost full muster, for many minutes at a time (depending on the size of your piece). It is physically exhausting using this product.2) The time- It took so much longer than it needed to. I had 7 wooden slats that needed stain applied and it took over an hour to get about halfway to complete. That's not counting the hours of drying between coats. To be fair, I was looking to turn these things black, so it needed quite a bit of coverage, but the application is so ridiculously slow and clumsy.3) The coverage- As I kind of alluded to above, the coverage was not good. At least partially because I had somewhat rough wood and partially because I needed it DARK, but even so, I'd applied 2 coats on each side and still needed at least a couple more.Using this product was so bad, that at this point, 2 coats in and realized I had at least another day of application and drying ahead of me, I just went to the store and bought the smallest can of Minwax liquid penetrating stain they had. I grabbed a cloth, dipped it in the can, and finished these things to perfection in 10 minutes. Easy, peezy, lemon squeezy.There is no possible reality where paying $10 for this "less mess wood stain applicator" and squeezing your forearms into oblivion, applying MANY coats, over the course of days, only to end up with subpar results, is a better option than buying a $10 can of stain, tearing up an old shirt, and finishing the job in 10 minutes, with stellar results. The ONLY possible use case for this product is to recommend to a buddy as a trick to pay them back for a time they wronged you. May gosh have mercy on your soul.

What can I say? I love this product. I had a small job to do and I have lung issues and was worried about using a product that was going to irritate my lungs and affect my breathing. ZERO odor in this stain and it covers beautifully and the end result is stunning. Just what I needed and so simple my 9 yr old son was able to help.The colour is a beautiful warm tone, I got Golden Oak, and it suits really well for furniture projects. My husband built a new enclosure for our son's bearded dragon and we wanted to have it work as a furniture element as it is in the family room. We painted the enclosure a charcoal colour and did the front supports in this beautiful stain to offset it and bring it into our home design and colour's. It is perfect. When the entire project is complete I will update with a new picture of the finished project. But if you are hesitating thinking this won't be enough, I suggest you give it a try because honestly this little container goes a long way and it is so easy to use that if feels like cheating. Great item to use with kids DIY projects also. Highly recommend!

I really like how well the product works. I was able to stain multiple pieces of wood for both larger and small signs. I did a welcome sign for my front porch and it looks fantastic. It took me a hot minute to figure out how it worked though , but once i did... the stain was flowin and worked so well.
