perfect for the jobLuanit's important to keep wood conditioned. this is easy to use and will make the wood surface last forever.5
Perfect for live edge wood counter top!TamiWe have an acacia live edge wood kitchen counter and island that over time was very dry and looked worn. I had tried different oils from the big box stores and they didn’t do much. I found this at IKEA and thought I would give it a go. I applied it at night and let it steep overnight by morning it was like I had brand new tops! There were even a few water marks that were completely gone. I will only use this product in the future. The only recommendation I have is to make sure you don’t get the product on your appliances because it will stain them.5

Great! Takes awhile to dry.KATHERINEI wish I had bought this sooner. Ultimately it seemed easier to buy this than find a more expensive alternative. This was easy to apply (use a cloth--follow the directions) and wasn't time consuming for either quote. The wood was a little slick longer than expected and the smell did linger more than a day, but overall the product is definitely worth it. I'm glad I finally did this, before all of my furniture was stained.5
Pretty goodOwen DickbackGood product very upset when I got home and realized it did not come with a towel or a hand.3
Excellent FinishDavid McMThis finish does take a couple of days to dry but has proven to be an outstanding finish on my KARLBY oak countertops – especially for the price. I put a couple of coats of this finish on the countertops prior to installation and, so far, have no stains on the countertops after almost a year of use. Although the original KARLBY factory applied Hardwax Oil finish appeared to be very durable (I did some stain tests prior to countertop installation), applying the STOCKARYD finish over the factory finish makes them easier to clean and more stain resistant. IKEA lists the STOCKARYD ingredients as linseed oil and tung oil, both of which take a while to cure. Another good thing about this type of oil finish, compared to something like polyurethane, is that you can make repairs pretty easily by sanding the damaged area and applying more oil finish. TIP: follow the instructions carefully - you need to put these types of oil finishes on in very thin coats, let it sit for a bit, and then wipe it off, otherwise, it will greatly extend the drying time and may leave the finish sticky.5
Does not dryBecky HTried to use this product on an IKEA kitchen island (was listed as a product to buy with it). It did not dry. Very disappointed.1
Nice finishKindieI have the karlby walnut countertops and this is the only finish that I really liked the look of. I tried waterlox and other wax based finishes but none of them looked like what i wanted. I did use 5-6 coats of this but it's really easy to apply. Now my countertop is waterproofed and doesnt leave rings from glasses, etc. Recommend sanding well before applying and doing several coats. It's got a nice shine without being glossy.5
MarcellasI bought this item some months ago. I did not like it because it does not dry.1
Mystery Drying AgentahadThe ingredient lists boiled linseed oil, tung oil, and a drying agent. Why don't they list what drying agent is being used? It says it's not harmful to the environment, but that doesn't mean it doesn't pose a danger to the person applying the treatment. I'm not sure how safe this product is.1
