Review: Easy to work with for excellent results. - The color went on to a cabinet with a great finish job. It was easy to work with and made me look like I was a professional. I used only two rags for a cabinet that I stained in white. The first one to rub off the heavy part and the second one to smooth it out and the cabinet came out fantastic. Review: Happy With The Results…Just Look! - I used Varathane 381119 Water Based Wood Stain on a table I built, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It went on smoothly, dried fast, and had very little odor, which made it easy to use indoors. The color came out even and clean, and it really brought out the grain in the wood. Overall, it was simple to work with and gave my table a solid, professional-looking finish. ## Features - Water-based wood stain creates rich, even color in 1 coat on most surfaces - Low odor, low VOC stain features advanced pigments to enhance the natural beauty of wood - Fast drying water based wood stain can be customized to a darker color with additional coats - Lower odor than traditional oil-based stains for easy application and excellent coverage - Semi-transparent stain cleans easily with soap and water ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BXMPSL11 | | Additional Features | Soap & Water Clean Up | | Base Material | Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,819 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #18 in Household Stains | | Brand | Varathane | | Brand Name | Varathane | | Coating Description | Water-based | | Color | Espresso | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Coverage | Up to 100 square feet per quart | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 578 Reviews | | Finish Types | Matte | | Included Components | Water Based Wood Stain | | Item Dimensions | 4.25 x 4.25 x 4.88 inches | | Item Type Name | Water Based Wood Stain | | Liquid Volume | 1 Quarts | | Manufacturer | Rust-Oleum | | Manufacturer Part Number | 381118 | | Material | Stain,Wood | | Material Type | Stain,Wood | | Model Name | Water Based Wood Stain | | Model Number | 381118 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Opacity | 0.5 inches | | Paint Type | Water Based | | Size | Quart (Pack of 1) | | Style Name | Wood Stain | | Surface Recommendation | Indoor | | UPC | 020066020521 | | Unit Count | 32.0 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Varathane - **Color:** Espresso - **Material:** Stain,Wood - **Model Name:** Water Based Wood Stain - **Surface Recommendation:** Indoor ## Images ![Varathane 381118 Water Based Wood Stain, Quart, Espresso - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ug40HSsHL.jpg) ![Varathane 381118 Water Based Wood Stain, Quart, Espresso - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ablwP617L.jpg) ![Varathane 381118 Water Based Wood Stain, Quart, Espresso - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91jJ0unEC+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to work with for excellent results. *by K***G on June 16, 2026* The color went on to a cabinet with a great finish job.

Cheaper than priced at the hardware stores. Love that it comes in the small can, so it can be easily used on smaller projects. Highly recommend! Dries almost clear. Has a small tint but much better than other products and water based, so very easy to clean up and won't yellow over time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Varathane 381118 Water Based Wood Stain, Quart, Espresso - Pro Grade, Paint Brushes, 5-Piece, Paint Brush Set: Flat & Angle Brushes for Latex and Oil Paints, Stains, Interior & Exterior Home Improvement - Varathane 200241H Water-Based Ultimate Polyurethane, Quart, Satin --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/524909843-varathane-381118-water-based-wood-stain-quart-espresso](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/524909843-varathane-381118-water-based-wood-stain-quart-espresso) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
