Very disappointed!
After allowing my new deck to cure for a After slowing my new deck to cure a year... I applied Olympic Elite last August. It already peeled and needed to be sanded off so I can have it restrained. Very expensive to have a painter do this for me.

Color not as pictured!
Had deck stained 3 days ago in Rustic Cedar. Color is much lighter than pictured and does not dry well. After 3 days, it is still sticky with bare feet. Note, pic is taken in shade.

Terrible product
Bought Olympic Elite stain because had good experience with other Olympic products. Sanded, washed and made sure deck was totally dry before applying. After one winter this is what it looks like. Not sure what to do.

Do not recommend
I just stained my deck in the fall before it got cold & this is how it looks 6 months later. It didn’t even last through 1 winter and we only had snow 1 time which melted the same day.

TERRIBLE! Wish I could choose zero stars!
After one fall and one winter (where it received no traffic or shovelling) almost all of the stain is flaking off or gone off of my deck.

Terrible product and service
I purchased this product 3 years ago and applied it as instructed to a covered 2 year old deck. The finish was fine for a year when where it was exposed to weather it showed signs of extreme wear. Within 18 months it completely wore off. It looks terrible. I don’t recommend this product.

Squirrels love it - Beware!
I bought this stain for our large deck and stairs outside. It provided good coverage and quality BUT squirrels love it. (We used the brown base stain) They literally started eating/gnawing and scratching our deck immediately and we have been fighting for weeks to catch/eliminate the squirrels because they do not stop. We likely will have to replace some rungs of our stairs because the damage is deep. Just beware.

Great Product - Great Look !
The finished result has been excellent for our 15+ year old deck that had 2 coats of solid stain previously applied before we bought this house 3 years ago, 2nd coat was peeling away from 1st coat that was also peeling away. The key to my success was the prep before apply the solid stain, spent 10 hours on both a Saturday and Sunday sanding with a deck sander rented from HD with 20 grit sanding sheets, using deck stripper on what was left, scrapping the softened stain on my hands and knees, thoroughly rinsing the stripper, sanding again after it dried and then washing with a deck cleaner. I then let deck dry for 48 hours and applied 1st coat of the Elite solid stain with 5" brush, really soaked into the old PT decking. after 24 hours I applied a 2nd coat again with the 5" brush. As you can see it looks great ! The adhesion of the stain appears to be very strong and after 48 hours of drying the surface is hard to the touch which I hope leads to durability.
This was a lot of work but cheaper than putting down new PT or a composite material.

Royal Mahogany
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this product on my back deck the past 5 years. It is 20+ years old and I've restained every 2-3 years. Seattle wet winters and dry summers take a toll on decks. This year we removed and replaced the deck boards. Then I stained it - by myself. And, I'm 74 y/o.

Solid color stain Cedar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I painted our home with Olympic back I believe in 2003 , it still looks great after all these years , I am so impressed . I do little touch ups if something gets messed up during the year but all in all has lasted very well . We had company last week end and when they drove up our hill to our home they told us it still looked just as good as the day we first did it and that means so much to us .
