First off I was a little skeptical about the one coat claim but you could say it covers in one coat if you use quite a bit. That said I think it really works great. I like the new lid style that came on it. And for the price you can't beat it. I priced polyurethane oil-based same size is nearly double or more. This gives you the same sheen and it dries pretty darn fast. Overall I'm pretty impressed. I bought the semi-gloss and used it on the table top I'm making in the picture above. I also like that it cleans up with water and it doesn't leave the white film that most water-based poly does. So all in all I'm giving it a big thumbs up

I used this on my windowsill to make it more durable. I lightly sanded after each coat. I love it! It feels so nice and smooth!!! I have high expectations for the disability it will provide.
