Staining is one of the most common concerns when choosing a live edge dining table. Because live edge tables are made from real solid timber, understanding how the surface behaves in everyday use helps buyers protect their table and maintain its appearance long-term.

At RockVine, all live edge dining tables are sealed using commercial-grade hardwax oil systems designed for real-world use.

Are Live Edge Dining Tables Prone To Staining

Solid timber is naturally porous, but properly sealed surfaces are resistant to everyday spills such as water, tea, wine and food oils when wiped promptly.

Hardwax Oil Surface Protection

Hardwax oil penetrates the timber fibres and forms a breathable protective barrier. This prevents liquid penetration while retaining the natural feel of real wood.

Preventing Surface Marks

Using placemats, wiping spills quickly and avoiding prolonged exposure to standing liquids significantly reduces staining risk.

Refreshing And Maintenance

Live edge dining tables can be locally refreshed without sanding the entire surface, allowing small marks to be treated easily and extending table lifespan.
