Why polish matters on a coffee table

A coffee table is the most used surface in the living room. Tea, coffee rings and spilled water test the finish daily, so a tougher coating keeps the wood looking new for longer.

Caring for a PU finish

Use coasters and mats under hot cups.
Wipe spills straight away.
Clean with a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemical sprays.
Keep the table out of long hours of direct sun.
