I bought the Azur blue to stain my kitchen iseland. The color is what I had hoped for but the stain is a bit thicker than what I expected and you have to work fast in order to get it even without noticing overlay. Make sure you have time you finish once you start as it dries a bit quicker than expected. Also make sure you really work with the grain of the wood when you apply the stain. it somewhat a two hander job. Appy the stain in a long even motion with the grain of the wood. I rubbed it off with a cheese cloth and then gave it three coates of mintwax poly acrylic. The first coat of the acrylic actually helped to even some of the stain out as it seemed to come of a bit when I applied it (yes I waited less thean 24 hours to apply the first coat) The endresult looks great
