I want to buy an partial table- durable finish? I want to buy and finish a table from an unfinished furniture...

I want to buy and finish a table from an unfinished furniture store. It would own lots of use, and needs to enjoy a very exceptionally very durable finish.

My mom remunerated lots of money for her table and it still looks great, while my aunt did not and the finish is wearing off. Is it a difference within how they were finished? Is it the number of coats or the fabric used?

My mom paid 3000 dollars (12 years ago) but we really dont enjoy that much money. 1800 is more in our budget.

Use your favorite stain to impart the piece the color that you want and let it dry for several days. After it is dry, put two coats of clear urethane on it to protect it from scratch. You can brush it on or you can spray it on. Be sure that you know what you are doing, because improperly sprayed or brushed urethane can running out up being rough to the tough. You want the final finish to be smooth to the touch. Urethane is a tough clear protective coating that you can use on any of your furniture pieces. Some urethane products are softer and some are thorny and tough, so be sure to get the one that you want.
