How to Protect a Dresser Top

Dressers sometimes undergo a lot of wear and tear from frequent use due to their location in a common traffic area like a bedroom. TVs and other devices are frequently positioned on top of dressers and they can scratch the wood. Beverages can spill and cause water stains and material damage to the dresser surface. Protecting a dresser top can be done easily with minimal fuss.
