Review: Perfect for small projects!!! - Exactly what I was hoping for!!! Easy application, dried quickly and was the perfect color. I used Dark Walnut and this stain is great quality and definitely worth the money.
Review: great coverage. - It worked great to touch up my wood cabinets that have a see through expresso color. It worked nice and my cabinets look like new again. I tried it on a piece of wood and applied two heavy coats and it looked solid, no see through so it works great both ways. I think this was a great investment cause got great looking cabinets for only a few dollars!!! Make sure to prepare the wood properly so that the color can look at its best. I sanded with a 220 sand paper, than a 320 sand paper and than I applied the wood stain. I will also use a sealer to prevent the cabinet from chipping again. Very happy with this product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Stain with Easy Applicator — Just Be Ready to Work
*by A***E on December 22, 2025*

Good Stain with Easy Applicator — Just Be Ready to Work The Varathane 385685 Less Mess Wood Stain and Applicator is a solid product that really delivers on convenience. The built-in applicator makes it easy to spread the stain evenly, and cleanup is much simpler than traditional stain and rag methods — just wipe off excess from the sleeve. The stain itself absorbs nicely into wood and gives a rich, even finish. It’s great for furniture, trim, and other projects where you want a smooth, consistent look. I appreciated how easy it was to control the amount of stain with the sleeve. Just keep in mind that you’ll still want to work carefully and wipe away any puddles right away — it’s “less mess,” not mess-free. But overall, this product saves time and effort, and I’d recommend it for anyone looking for an easier way to stain wood without sacrificing a quality finish. 🪵✨
