Wanted the best to restore a garden bench and all the reviews recommended this product. It did the job :)
The outdoor furniture oil was easy to apply and gave very good results. The worst part is the sanding down beforehand.
Excellent service. Clear instructions and good coverage.
Lovely to use, no drips. Leaves a great finish. Coverage more than stated on the tin.
Used Barrettine Furniture Oil for the first time. Followed instructions and produced a great result on my garden bench. Will be keeping a tin handy for future work.
I bought this product to protect a new garden arbour from the elements. This product is easy to apply and the wood has come up really nicely.
Good product,as with other products i've purchased from this company.
I decided to give our table and chairs a thorough clean and oiling and they have come up looking fantastic. So then tried with some rescued chairs which drank in the oil and look years younger.
They say you get what you pay for and with this teak oil it’s true. Previously I have used a cheap one which stayed sticky for years, much to my disgust. So when we bought a new bench and I decided not to penny pinch. I am very impressed. The product is easy to use, makes the wood look terrific, has dried off beautifully and I am very proud of how our new bench looks. Thank you!
It works, but dries much darker than the photography suggests on the can and online. It appeared to be a perfect match for what I wanted, just made all the furniture dark teak.
Good product easy to apply. Does make the wood go a little bit darker.
This oil dries very quickly and certainly works.
I bought a cheap, 3 seater garden bench. It supposedly had had 1 coat of oil but was finished very poorly. All the knots were rough and would have snagged clothes. Once I had sanded it I gave it one coat of Barrettine and this soaked in well, particularly accross the grain (as would be expected). After a very light sanding I gave it a second coat. This did not soak in as well, probably because of the original coat. after 4 days in a dry garage some parts were still oily so I went over the whole thing with a microfibre cloth. The result - a bench that looks as if it cost at least twice as much. We'll see how it handles the winter but I don't expect to be disappointed. (Despite what the container says I didn't find the solvent fumes, such as they were, problematic at all).
I used it on a teak garden seat of a complicated design, so rubbing it down is a real chore. After coating it looked great, and was water resistant. By far the best product I have used on the seat. However, the finish has gradually darkened so now we’ll over a year later it is almost uniformly a nearly matt black. Nothing like the rich teak colour it should be. So next year it looks like another day or more rubbing it down. Any better suggestions?
Does what it says i will use this product again
Excellent product, really easy to apply and retains the character of the wood.
Expensive, but easy to apply & maintain with annual application.
Bought to treat my old garden table and chairs. Easy to apply and provides an excellent finish and look
Easy to use , gave the table a good sand first and again before the last coat. Will reorder to renovate other items
Great oil. Used it on my ash and oak garden benches, put a couple of coats on and it did the job.
Made an Oak garden seat. This can did two coats and there's enough left for another two. Looks great.
Pleased with this product, goes on easily, seems to protect the wood as when it rains the water runs off. time will tell on longevity. At present happy. Would use again. Wood Finishes Direct have a good range of products to choose from.
Would appear to seal the wood, only time will tell
Great product, easy to apply and great finish
First time using product, easy to use and have reordered another tin.
This has pretty much ruined a new wood table and benches. It says it is clear but it certainly isn't. It has stained the wood a grubby dark brown.
Good Morning Tom, I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the result achieved with the oil. Because oils penetrate the woods surface, even if they are clear they will enhance and darken the wood, much like water does when you wipe a wet cloth over the surface. We always recommend a test area first to ensure that you like the finish that will be achieved, as the wood will impact on the result, aged or dry wood will uptake more oil resulting in a darken tone compared to new unweathered wood. I hope that helps to explain why the wood has darkened and if you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to get in touch. Regards Samantha.
Just treated my hardwood outdoor table with this applied really easily and after two coats and now the colour of the wood looks lovely.
Soaks in really well, leaves a lovely finish and brings out the grain well :)
Three coats on old teak garden table had it looking like new. Can't comment on durability but happy to put another coat on annually (very easy to apply) to keep it looking good.
I was recommended this when I bought some garden furniture. It is very easy to apply and quick drying and leaves a good natural finish. Very happy with it.
Easy to use good coverage and rich colour repels the rain very well
Delighted with this product,easy to use did three benches with 1.5 litres giving the at least 2 coats each.
