Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This gel stain is exceptional. Love this gel stain. I also like that it is a thick stain- not as messy.

The product is thick which makes rolling it on easy and consistent. Easy to handle, no dripping, diy friendly. Will use again.

My dated honey oak is now a rich medium brown. The color is even and the wood grain shows through. The finish is beautiful.

Cons

White stain is transparent and very thin unlike the other stains. Covers nothing a regular stain might do. If you try to put in on thinner it looks blotchy and you see streaks of the previous wood color underneath. Now my stair railings are horrible, ... Read More

The stain looks darker than what's on the can or the picture of colonial maple on maple on the website. I am very disappointing that the very think stain went on like syrup and the color was close to tar with a little reddish color.

Quality

This was a very easy project and the gel stain was extremely easy to apply with some light sanding.

It goes on smooth and very consistent and blends in well with old surface finishes.

I’ve been using minwax for years and kept getting poor results, could never figure out what i was doing wrong.

Try this product if you're looking for a deep brown that multiple coats of liquid stains just can't achieve.

Price

Regardless, it is so worth the money and it produces a beautiful stain.

This gel stain is the real deal.

I know it looks like a big price tag, but it is worth every penny.

Worth paying the extra money for vs.

Packaging/appearance

I used this to give my outdated kitchen cabinets a modern look.

Competitiveness

I've used several brands and this is as good as those.

This is no better than any of the others i have used but cost twice as much.
