How does the surface hold up if it gets something spilled on it? Does it ruin the finish?

I have only had it for a little while but it's wood so I assume it would have to be cleaned up as any wood should.

It is solid wood, not laminate, so it WOULD be damaged (as any nice table would be) if you don't blot up a spill promptly. We love this little table, so don't be deterred. Keep coasters handy and put your drinks on them.

I have not had any trouble. I use a good furniture polish several times a week to keep any liquid from going into the finish. It beads up the liquid for easy wipe up.

I use my tables for plants, and am careful to wipe up any spills immediately. Even though the finish looks good, moisture will distress any wood surface over time.

I have this table and it holds up well against stains but not scratches. I would say its stain resistant not totally proof.

HiSince you are not worried about the finish, you may try Goo Be Gone. It can be purchased almost anywhere. It may not even do any damage to the surface either.

I usually use hotpads with any table surface. Having said that, the hot items that have gone on to the table directly have not caused any problems. The surface is truly the hard, polished surface it seems to be, and not a thin veneer. No bubbles, water marks, or stains are on my table, in spite of my 2 yr. old granddaughter's attempts.

Nope. Even if you spilled the liquid - it's clear and would wash out easily. Does get slippery, though!

I haven't put any finish to protect top. Still holds up nicely. Hope this is helpful. Have island for almost a year now.

It is pretty much spill proof. I've knocked mine over with no spills. If held upside down the liquid would come out.

I have spilled liquid on the table but have cleaned it immediately afterwards. It was not damaged but not sure if liquid sits on it for a long period of time it probably will.

Like, dirt? I dropped mine in some minor dirt, and it was fine. Also, I dropped it a lot of times in different places and it was still fine. Not sure about liquids tho. Never got it wet. Wouldn't recommend it tho. lol

I have not had to clean it yet, but a soft rag and soap and water should maintain the finish, stainless steel is very durable. The most important thing is to not use anything that will scratch, no scotch brite, s.o.s. or brillo pad.

It's holding up extremely well. We have our in a TV room and the grands are always on its so there has been spills and messes but still it's looks great! The good thing about being so dark that some soap and water and a gentle wipe gets the spills out.

I've had mine for just about a year, and no issues with water at all, even behind the faucet. I just wipe up any spills, just like on my regular counter surface.

I finished a table I built two years ago, fished with Danish oil then used arm r seal satin. It looks great after two years. It isn't shiny at all but very durable. Use at least three coats ( I did 7 ) with very light wet sanding with 600 grit after the 2 nd coat and between each successive coat. I used a staining pad to apply and it was one of the easiest finishes I've ever used

It is not shiny like the outside. as long as you empty water after use it will stay nice.

personally I have not stuck it under water but the finish on it is pretty awesome I do not think you will have a problem

I haven't had a problem. The finish is matte, and I just wipe it down with a damp cloth every now and then.
