  1. How to Care for Your Live Edge Table: Tips for Longevity

  2. A live edge table is more than furniture-it's a statement piece. Whether it's a live edge kitchen table or a live edge dining room table, proper care assures that it remains beautiful and functional for years. Here are some practical tips on how to keep your custom wood dining table looking as stunning as the day it arrived.

  3. Caring Tips for Live Edge Tables Protect Your Table from Moisture Wood and water don’t mix well. Always use coasters under drinks to avoid unsightly rings on your live edge table. If you’re serving meals on your live edge dining room table, place placemats or tablecloths to prevent spills. In case of accidents, wipe up spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. This simple habit can go a long way in protecting your investment.

  4. Clean Gently and Regularly This prevents debris from scratching the surface of your table. Use soft microfiber cloths to keep dust away. For a deeper clean, a mild soap solution works well because it does not allow excess wood soaking. Then avoid using cleaners that contain abrasives as this may strip the finish or damage the natural beauty of your live edge table.

  5. Mind the Temperature Direct heat is one of the greatest dangers to your live edge kitchen table. Hot dishes or pans can burn or warp the wood. Use heat-resistant trivets to protect the wood from extreme temperatures. It's also advisable not to position your custom wood dining table close to any heat source, be it a radiator or fireplace, which could lead to cracking or drying out of wood.

  6. Apply Finish as Needed Due to inevitable wear, your live-edge dining room table may lose some of its luster over time. To continue looking vibrant, it can be periodically retreated with a protective finish, such as tung oil or polyurethane. Besides adding to its beauty, this helps protect the wood from wear and tear.

  7. Be Mindful of Placement Since sunlight can fade or unevenly discolor it, your live edge kitchen table should find a spot not exposed to sun rays. If that's impossible, then at least cover the glass surfaces with curtains or UV-blocking window films so they can't harm the wood's natural coloration. Continue following these care tips, and your very own custom wood dining table will stay the epitome of a treasured centerpiece in your home. With proper attention, that live edge table will begin to age graciously, speaking its story in each grain, each curve.
