The oil can be spread very easily and can be used very sparingly. The liter is sufficient for at least twice oiling a sitting area with four large chairs and large table. Also attracts a very fast and darkens slightly, which again received the furniture their old "shine" and look as good as new. My only faults, but which is probably to take in pretty much any wood oil into account, is the smell, which remains for a long time in the furniture, which is why these should be (one to two weeks) in the open air after painting necessarily some time before they are brought over the winter break in. For this price a highly recommended product!
