Exceeded Expectations
I ordered a quart of this in Padre Brown. I was looking for a dark brown to cover a cedar fence panel that had lots of imperfections. This was so easy to use and I'm very happy with my result. This is one coat using one quart.

We had a very weathered yet solid wood fence that had been neglected several years before we purchased the place. The Behr solid stain was the perfect choice. It has excellent coverage, easy application. Highly recommend.

Does not last
It did not last even one season in Wisconsin. Absorbs water and peels off. 2 coats after sanding, pressure washing... still not efficient exterior stain/sealer.

Hello Krisna, thank you for your review. I’m so sorry the stain is peeling so soon. I recommend removing any loose coating, cleaning the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner to clean the surface and open the pores of the bare wood to allow the stain to grip onto the surface, letting the surface dry, then touching up and recoating as needed. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance. Our team is happy to help you! -Joni

This color is beautiful and the stain was easy to apply, however I should have listened to the other reviews. I did everything I was supposed to: used the deck cleaner and brush, waited until the wood had been dry for a long stretch, low humidity, low wind, mild temps, no direct sunlight. Sadly, this is still coming off of my porch and it has only been on there for 7 months. I know it isn't from shoveling or salt as it is only in the areas we walk, not the entire surface. I have contacted Behr customer service to see if they will honor their warranty, but don't make my mistake! It isn't worth trying it for yourself, the reviews are right.

Expected it to finish darker, although my decking is very pale. I was surprised that the can suggests only one coat which makes me think it's less stain/more paint. My deck was very dry and the product absorbed well, and dried to the touch quickly. It says three days for full cure, but I felt it was no longer tacky within a day. I still waited three days before putting the furniture on it. It dries with the slightest shine that makes everything looks clean and new. Time will tell if it holds up. It's been on for two weeks so far. I bought this color on line since none of the local stores had it. It took three weeks to deliver which was frustrating so plan far ahead of this is your option.

Not even one year
Not impressed with this stain at all, less than one year and the stain is peeling off the deck. Before application I sanded and used the behr all-in-one wood cleaner, applied two coats with adequate drying time between each coat. If you have moderate traffic on your deck, this may not withstand more than one year.

Hi asg1,
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that your deck is peeling after less than a year! To fix, we recommend sanding the areas that are lifting, spot cleaning the bare concrete with our wood cleaner, then touching up with more stain. If this is happening to most of the surface though, we recommend removing the stain completely before preparing the surface and applying 2 new coats. So we can assist you further with this, please reach out to our Customer Care team directly. We hope to hear from you! - Sara

This bucket of stain was obviously defective; product was bubbling and forming a foamy froth which was like slime when applied to deck boards; this batch of defective stain needs to be pulled off shelves; I have successfully used Behr Premium Solid Color stain many times in last four years and found it to be high quality; Behr needs to investigate and resolve what happened to this batch.
