Sideboard top
The top should take a platter without a mat, if that is how you live. The rest of the note is how we do that in the studio.
We oil the top for spills you wipe at once. A flood left overnight is still a mark. The note is: wipe it. Measure the piece you actually own. A sideboard that is pretty and too low becomes a shelf you cannot use.
A finish that fears water is the wrong top for a dining room.

Sideboard top is a note from the studio, not a rule for every house. The pieces in this edit were finished with this habit in mind.
If a piece you have does not match the note, send a question with the name of the piece. The reply is more useful than a general rule.
An inquiry is the way to ask. Nothing on this page is a charge.
Keep the habit small enough that it happens. That is the care these pieces were made for.
