Safe Finish for a Table

by | Jan 4, 2020 | Q & A | 2 comments

Question from Stacey

I am trying to find a safe kitchen table. Is a table with a lacquer, or water-based polyurethane finish safe? Is one safer/preferable over the other?

 

Lisa’s Answer

It really depends on the specific product used.  Some lacquers are now water-based.  You might consider buying a floor model that has already off-gassed.

    Check out Rubio Monocoat. It’s made from vegetable dyes and has zero VOCs. Its gorgeous! It can be used on wood flooring as well as furniture.

      I love Rubio Monocoat. My floors are finished with this great product. Just a note of caution, it does stain and scratch easily so it might not be the best best option for a kitchen table.
