George ★★★★★ Oct 22, 2026

The espresso color came out so rich and even on my pine table, and the water-based formula made cleanup a total breeze. I had plenty of time to work it into the grain before it set, which saved me from any patchy spots.

I brushed this onto an oak shelf and was surprised how easily it spread without lap marks. The deep espresso color came out rich and even after just one coat.

Used this on a small jewelry box and the espresso color came out so rich and even, no streaks at all. Cleanup with water was way easier than dealing with mineral spirits.
