Durable, easy-to-clean finishes are ideal for kid-friendly coffee tables. Look for tables with protective polyurethane or acrylic finishes, as they resist stains, scratches, and spills. Satin and matte finishes also help conceal minor scratches and fingerprints, making maintenance easier. If you prefer natural wood, consider a food-safe, water-based finish, such as tung oil or wax, which provides some resistance to stains but may require periodic reapplication. Rounded edges and a stable design help ensure safety, and choosing a finish that’s easy to touch up can keep your coffee table looking great longer.
