Lacquer Finish and Care Instructions

How Durable is Lacquer?

Oil-based Lacquer is a great finish for solid wood furniture. It's hard, durable, and scratch resistant. We apply this by spraying 3-4 coats and sanding between each coat to create a near flawless finish.

Let's be honest - dining room tables take a beating, especially with younger kids. We weat, play, and do homework all around the table and you need something that stands up to the test - our lacquer is what you need. 

 

Here are a few great things about lacquer:

1. You don't have to use coasters. You can leave a glass of ice water on the table in the summer and the condensation won't leave a water ring.
2. Spills wipe right up. Some finishes used on less durable tables would need to be stripped if you spilled something like Kool-Aid on them.
3. The oil-based lacquer doesn't need to be reapplied and won't dry out over time like some oil finishes. 

Lacquer Care Instructions

1. Use a hot pad - If something is too hot to hold, you will want to put down a hot pad or trivet as you would with practically any surface. 
2. Be careful with chemicals - If you spill something chemically abrasive on it, like finger nail polish remover, you could damage your top.
3. Clean with soap and water - use a wet rag or soapy rag to clean your table top and stay away from harsh cleaners. Any cleaning product intended for wood surfaces works fine too.
