Chalk paint- Has anyone used it on a bench?

I have read so many conflicting reviews about chalk paint. Has anyone used it on a bench. And does it wear off easy just using the wax.

    It is very durable indoors when just finished with wax. Chairs in my kitchen have held up well for years. If your bench will be outside, it will need a water sealant.

    Chalk paint is a dream come true. I used it on my kitchen cabinets. I put water based poly over them and they are holding up great. I have also used it on furniture with just the wax. Just be sure to let it sit several days after you wax it to allow the wax to harden.

      Yes, unfortunately it will yellow not only on white but on any light color. I have had some success with using polycrylic (which is water based) and being very careful to not let it puddle.
