Anyone having issues with the finish? One review said the finish was peeling off, and that concerns me.

I have had the table for three months and the finish still looks beautiful; even with two young children.

We've had ours for about 2 years and it's holding up just fine. (We use it as a game table so its not used every day.)

Mines only been done a few months but I'm having no problems. Looks just like it did when I finished it, just make sure you give it ample time to cure, I'm loving it.

I think they've remedied that problem. I had one of the earlier models (finish flaked off) - the replacement pan they sent had a thicker enamel . Worked fine !

I've only had mine for less than 2 months but my case has no discoloration I work outside in all conditions and temperatures. I'll keep my eye out for any changes and let you know if it does.

Ours was finished. We have been using it for over 6 months and there is no sign of it needing any more finish put on it. It still looks good as new.

Same issue with the mint case. So sad, because I love the colour, but it's turning all brownish around the bumper edges... sigh. Might have to get the black one, so that stains won't show. Have not tried cleaning it yet, but if I find a good solution I will post it.

Yeah. Same here. It wasn't too bad. Wiped right off. Good luck putting it together. I never did get mine together. It was hard and I gave up.

Eastman fixed the flaking problem long ago. My original pan from a few years ago flaked. Eastman replaced it and the new one has what appears to be an enamel finish. Ive used it many times since with no issues.

Think Cheryl Perkins answer was spot on. We have the black finish on ours and cant even notice.

Yes, mine discolored pretty badly. It looks dark grey now instead of clear. I've bought two so far, but I don't think I'll buy a third - going to try something different.

Honestly I do not know if it's a defect. I liked the board so much form the beginning that I decided to keep it, curved or not, and with time it i has actually become steadier. It's really a great board and if you treat it right, using some special oil once in a while it will keep looking as beautiful as when you unwrapped it!I hope this is helpful to you. Aloha from Britt

I bought the darker colour and yes it appears to be finished, but it is definately not the best finish. It's broken up into pieces, nothing solid. I think it's meant more to be in a corner.

I have not had that problem. I believe it is how careful you are when you finish with the protective layer. We were careful not to get the counter wet for many days after finishing the project and we are still careful not to let any standing water accumulate on the counters. I am sure given time that our countertops will begin to peel, but this is a cheap, easy way to give your counter tops a beautiful look.

I haven't but I'd wager the finish is not up to it. Not sure why you'd want to take it off.

Well mine is pretty new, so I do not have this problem yet, but I did read about that in some of the reviews. I put mine in the case after each use so it does not get banged up. Hope this helps.

I didn't have that problem with mine. it was in perfect condition. Did you buy yours new or used?

Mine hasn't discolored and the UV coating on the case is supposed to prevent that from happening as advertised. I'm pretty happy with my case that I bought an extra one. Hope that helps!
