These are very attractive tables but, unfortunately, the finish has not been either waxed or varnished. There are no care instructions provided and when I tried to remove a slight mark with a slightly damp cloth it totally removed the limed finish! I should add that Wayfair were very understanding and immediately replaced the one table with a new one. I have since had glass tops made for them and, fortunately, as they are in a guest room they do not receive regular usage. Pretty tables but delicate!
