Alternative to Ikea varda brown wood stain?

I have the IKEA applaro range of garden furniture (www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/aepplaroe-reclining-chair-outdoor-foldable-brown-stained-70208539/) and it really needs restaining but I havent been able to get any of the Ikea varda wood stain this year. Its sold out in store and they don't sell it online. Has anyone found an equivalent or would hazard a guess as to what colour stain i could try? Helpfully the Ikea stain is called 'brown' so its really not very informative! Thanks in advance.

Hi - realise this is an old post - but wondered if you found a stain that matched? I’ve just brought this set, and am having a new fence and wanted to stain it to match, and have found the stain elusive to get hold of - now realise this is a common issue!
Thanks.

I know this is an old thread - I need some too… My set looks horrendous and the stuff has sold out everywhere. What did you two end up using?

I ended up checking online stocks at my nearest IKEA and, when it was back in stock, going down to buy it. Sorry, not helpful, I know! I think maybe I got hold of some in the winter in the end.

Adding to this old thread as I couldn't find the answer to this (for UK brands) anywhere online, so hopefully others may come across it here! I've just used Ronseal 10 Year Woodstain in Teak on my Applaro table and it is a good colour match. I will be shocked if it genuinely lasts 10 years but I didn't re-stain the legs and the colour difference between the original colour and the new stain is not noticeable, which is all I was after!
