Closed-pore finish, Open-pore finish, or Semi-open-pore finish? How to choose among these three finishing options for custom wooden furniture?

Primarily using polyester-based finishes, this is a coating process that seals off the wood's surface grain. The key is to fill in the wood's pores, resulting in a smooth, mirror-like surface.

Advantages: ① Smooth surface with a lustrous finish; ② Easy to clean and maintain; ③ Water-resistant and stain-resistant; ④ Relatively durable and suitable for any type of wood.

Disadvantages: ① Conceals the wood's natural grain; ② Poor environmental performance; ③ Prone to fading; ④ Scratches are highly visible on the finish.

Primarily made from nitrocellulose lacquer, this coating process preserves the wood's natural grain, fully showcasing its natural character and providing a distinct textural feel when touched.

It is suitable for woods with deep, attractive grain patterns, such as high-end woods like walnut and teak.

Advantages: ① Preserves the wood’s natural grain, enhancing the solid wood texture; ② Better environmental performance; ③ The paint layer is thin, making it less prone to peeling or fading; ④ Repairs are relatively simple.

Disadvantages: ① Relatively weak stain and moisture resistance; ② The surface has a textured feel and is not perfectly smooth; ③ Higher demands on wood selection, as natural defects may be visible; ④ Difficult to clean.

If the wood's natural grain has a distinct texture—such as ash, oak, or walnut—it is recommended to use an open finish to preserve the furniture’s natural beauty. If a minimalist, uniform look is preferred and the wood grain is not particularly eye-catching—such as with pine or poplar—or hoping the furniture to be more stain-resistant and durable, then a sealed finish may be considered.
