Varathane 211800 Premium Wood Stain, Half Pint, Red Oak

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Varathane premium wood stain in the shade Early American is a great product. The consistency is not too runny or thick, and it spreads nicely and easily. One coat provides really nice coverage and a very light, classic wood color. The shade is versatile and buildable in the sense that one coat gives you a nice, light, natural stain, but can use multiple coats if aiming for a richer, darker stain. I was impressed with the drying time, as it did not take too long for the product to dry fully, but it also didn't start drying up immediately and make it difficult to achieve a consistent color. It's a great product, and the shade Early American is very classic, natural, and beautiful. I would highly recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Varathane premium wood stain in the early American color looks great. It does need several coats to achieve a darker shade, and it goes on much darker than when it dries. Very low odor, which is nice from an oil based stain. Very good.
