@jmanic -

Get something with less green in it, unless you are going to a traditional green,
then use one of these for window frames and trim.

Easy peasy.

It's not what I would call durable in the normal sense, but it degrades gracefully without peeling or flaking and can be repaired/reapplied easily. It's also almost a dead flat sheen, which is ok if that's the look you want. You can bring up the sheen a little by applying another coat and buffing it. It's also not compatible with stains, so if you want color, you need to pick one of the Monocoat shades.

Is this good for guests who don't know how to use coasters and leave hot/cold rings on tabletops?

I finished re-upholstering all 6 of my dining chairs. I like how they came out.
I have enough material left over for a bench - I can either make my own bench, or find a used one to redo.

Look for used piano benches. Duets can hold mad weight (easy 350 pounds) and lots of older ones have pretty legs.PXL_20220523_145224007.MP.jpg

I haven't tested for this, but it should be easier to repair than other finishes. Give it a light sanding to get rid of the visible ring and rub some more finish on it.

Just thinking outside the box here, but how about beating said guests to a pulp afterward and giggle a little ever after each time you see the rings on your table just thinking about how good it felt?
