Good info – might give something like that a try on a different piece of furniture to test it against our resident minions. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the analogy; that makes tons of sense. 👍👍

I hear you. My dad made it; he’s got some woodworking eccentricities, to be sure. I’m sure he had a thoroughly thought-out reason for going gangbusters w/ 4 coats. Maybe that’s why he seemed so frustrated when I told him his grandkids scratched it with practically zero effort.
