A good quality furniture wax (like Briwax) and a clean, lint-free rag. Do not use Butcher's Wax. It is for floors and not furniture. You can adjust the sheen with your elbow (grease).

Do not use another finish on top of it! If it's veneer, it is quite likely a waterborne, catalyzed spray-finish and would need risky preparation to re-coat it with something "other."

Wood veneer or vinyl, you can use the wax on either.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
