The best finish for a wood coffee table depends on the look you want and its intended use. A polyurethane finish offers excellent protection against scratches and moisture, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. For a natural look, consider an oil finish like tung or linseed oil, which enhances the wood’s grain but requires more maintenance. A lacquer finish provides a glossy, durable surface, while a wax finish gives a soft, matte appearance. Choose a finish that complements your decor and offers the desired level of durability.
