Quality

It’s easy to work with, has a great finish, levels well, and dries quickly.

Works great, water heats up super fast

Light sanding (2000 grit) was done 24 hours after first coat.

This polyurethane went one easily and was not sensitive to overstrokes by the brush even after 3-5 minutes.

Price

And this seller has this product at the best-price, i know, i searched every where !

Price in amazon much less than local big boxes.

Packaging/appearance

It protected it from moisture and gave the seat a nice shiney appearance.

Competitiveness

This may just be a personal preference, but i like the fact that this is thinner than some other polyurethane brands.

Price is better than big box stores.
