We used the Maple Brown color because we wanted some brown color but not too much. Previous stain was a dark chocolate which made the deck impossible to stand on in the sun. It took 2 days to put stain on because of the size/height challenges. We are thrilled with the results. We are planning to do the same on our front railing since this worked so well and was easy to use (and clean up was quick).
Since it's still new, we will see how it holds up over the winter.
