What is the best paint for a dining room table?
1 Answer

It involves many applications and layers of lacquer - each layer laboriously hand polished to a hard and gorgeous sheen often times resembling a sheet of glass.

Without this, your table will be more susceptible to scratches, dings and liquid stains from your plates, silverware and glassware.
