```php
add_filter( 'post_class', function ( $classes, $class, $post_id ) {
    $screen = function_exists( 'get_current_screen' ) ? get_current_screen() : null;

    if ( ! $screen || 'edit-product' !== $screen->id ) {
        return $classes;
    }

    $product = wc_get_product( $post_id );

    if ( ! $product ) {
        return $classes;
    }

    if ( ! $product->is_in_stock() ) {
        $classes[] = 'wpide-stock-out';
    } elseif ( $product->managing_stock() && $product->get_stock_quantity() <= wc_get_low_stock_amount( $product ) ) {
        $classes[] = 'wpide-stock-low';
    }

    return $classes;
}, 10, 3 );

add_action( 'admin_head-edit.php', function () {
    if ( 'product' === get_current_screen()->post_type ) {
        echo '<style>.wp-list-table tr.wpide-stock-low{background:#fff8e5}.wp-list-table tr.wpide-stock-out{background:#fcf0f1}</style>';
    }
} );
```

## Notes

Uses the low stock threshold from WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Inventory, or a product's own threshold when set.
