Wood Trim Finishing
The U-Line Beverage Center is equipped with wood-
trimmed wine racks that are coated at the factory with a
clear vinyl sealer, which will adequately protect the wood
in normal usage. A final finish coat was not applied so
that the wood trim could be stained to match décor. The
trim on the racks may be coated with a final finish or
stained.
