I couldn’t be happier with this coffee table as it has transformed the look of my living room. It is the perfect combination of modern and rustic. The wood is unfinished - I lightly sanded and sealed it with a clear wood sealer in a spray can. Please be aware this table does come with chips and imperfections in the reclaimed wood - this may not be for everyone, but if you have more eclectic tastes you will love it. I just wish there was a matching end table!
