is the wood veneer coated with anything?will a glass on the table that sweats make a watermark?

The table feels like it could be coated and it's easy to clean, but I'm not 100% sure that it has protective coating; I think you'd have to contact the company. I haven't wanted to take the chance so we use coasters :) However, we've had the table now for over a year, and not *every* glass has been on a coaster, and we don't have any visible watermarks.

Honestly, I am very dissapointed with this set. 4 monthes after we got, the wood cracked in 2 chairs. Tried to contact seller to get replacment, but was told since it was past 90 days, there was nothing they could do. Plus, it easily gets scratched and knocks in it. For what we spent, I am very disappointed.

No. There is nothing on the bottom of the coasters. The crystal surface is very smooth and would not scratch a wooden table.

Sorry about the delay to your question. I had never noticed any scratches but I decided to take a close look before answering. Well, I did find a few tiny scratches but nothing really noticeable. I usually wipe the table down gently with a damp soft cloth or sponge after using it. I have used a table cloth on occasion to protect the finish but not always. One thing I will mention is the table did chip when I accidentally banged it against the door jam while taking it outside. Nothing major but a tiny piece of the black finish chipped off. Hopes this helps.

You would need coat the wood with sealant. The top of the table is fine. The frame and stools are wood so they would need some protection from the outdoor elements.

It is a very nice coffee table but as far as stains, I cant honestly say because I havent spilled anything on it and use a coaster for drinks.

Yes --you could but it has a very high sheen -glass like in a short period of time it would show scratches pretty bad. There is epoxy table top finishes that are a two part system that have a lot hard and more durable finish for long term. I hope this helps --I have worked with wood finishes for many years and this information has come from experiences some pain staking.

The board definitely does "not" have a matted finish. You can see images of the surrounding room on the face of the glass. It doesn't bother me, but this probably isn't the board for you if you need non-glare.

It looks like wood but is smooth like it might be sealed with a light laqour coating. It is definetely not varnished.

The wood does not appear to be treated with anything, however, I have had mine in my kitchen for over a year and see no problems. It has gotten wet, but as long as it is just wiped off appears to have no effect and I see no stains or changes. Suppose you could cover it with a polyurethane once you got it. Very pleased with mine.

It is wood, therefore anything hot could possibly put a burn mark. Personally, I'd used a hot pad first. It is a great board. We use it over our sink ... looks great.

I have not seen any watermarks. I am careful to try and keep it dry though. It has gotten wet, but still remains looking as new as the day I received it.Only knock is that the "arms" that extend to touch ends of tub have no grip. So using it with care is important.

Hi, I have them on a wooden table and they have not scratched it. However, it's a distressed painted darker gray table. The coasters do have a felt backing, but it doesn't reach to the very edges. Hope this helps!

I would say no because surface of the table is not metal. The surface is somewhat water resistance, and I don't think it is water and weather proof.

No it does not show fingerprints or watermarks. It also doesn't condensate.

Yes. It has a high gloss finish which is achieved via some sort of lacquer. Anything that spills on the table comes into contact with the lacquer, not wood or paint. As long as you don't spill something acidic enough to eat through the lacquer, you should not have any problems.

The wood is pre-treated with a clear waterproofing. I think the instructions stated that it can be stained.

The black finish is holding well. There is not a clearcoat shine on this table.
