Excellent Stain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used minwax gel stain on a great number of furniture projects. The quality is excellent. Colors between different cans always match perfectly. I also see no color fading in the 15 years I've been using MinWax. Just cannot say enough good things about it. Customer for life.
