Review: great coverage. - It worked great to touch up my wood cabinets that have a see through expresso color. It worked nice and my cabinets look like new again. I tried it on a piece of wood and applied two heavy coats and it looked solid, no see through so it works great both ways. I think this was a great investment cause got great looking cabinets for only a few dollars!!! Make sure to prepare the wood properly so that the color can look at its best. I sanded with a 220 sand paper, than a 320 sand paper and than I applied the wood stain. I will also use a sealer to prevent the cabinet from chipping again. Very happy with this product!
Review: So easy to use ! - It is so easy to use and not messy. The foam applicator allows for an even distribution of the stain. I thought it was remarkable. I only had the arms of one chair to do and had to stay in a limited space, so this worked perfectly. If I had the whole chair to do, I might choose the traditional can of stain with applicator as the bottle on this one can be a hard squeeze as you are rolling. All-in-all, I highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s wood stain!
*by L***E on April 29, 2023*

The product was cheap affordable, it did exactly what I purchased it for to stain a piece of wood to match other things that I had. It’s worth the price I’ll need instructions on how to open this product up. I had to rip the seal because there was nothing to show how to get it to come out of its container. It’s probably common sense, but then again who these days has time for common sense. It’s definitely worth The purchase price it did exactly what It was intended it to do color a piece of wood walnut, match other things that I have
