We appreciate you sharing your feedback. This finish should provide you with a water-resistant surface that is easy to wipe clean. If you have any issues with that in mind, we want to know. You can reach your Hampton Bay Customer Care Team at homeproducts_cc@woodmark.com, and we are always eager to help with any Limited Lifetime Warranty concerns or questions. We again thank you for your review, and we wish you nothing but happiness with your new cabinetry moving forward.
