Sorry, I do go on about mineral oil vs drying oils or plastic finishes, but it really is a painless and foolproof method of finishing wood tops. It's not as protective as others but infinitely more renewable. You will get some staining from stronger liquids or whatever, but the wood will last and after the initial (or even factory) sanding, it's wipe on, wipe off forever.
