I had glass cut for my kitchen table (maple) and also for an oval coffee table in the living room and a desk. I am a big fan. It's not cheap to have it done but it allows the beauty of the wood to shine through. I use tableclothes on the kitchen table under the glass and it keeps them in very good shape so I don't mind spending a bit of money for them. Works well and looks nice too. LM

My glass top has some little felt discs under it so it sits about 1/4 "" up off the table top. I guess it gets some air in that space.

Glass wooden frame is something you should consider even with other options. Also try Aristocrat Liquid Glass high gloss coating for protecting your wood from fading color and scratchiness, dirt etc. They are easily available on Amazon and it is really worth it. I agree with the point that the color of wood is really appealing but you really need to keep it that way that it still remains appealing always. Let's say it's tricky to do that. contemporary rugs

I could consider hanging a shade (or some other barrier) in the source of the sunlight......

Bees wax. Found in almost all grocery stores...definitely at a place like Lowes or Home Depot.

I swear by Scott's Liquid Gold for preserving wood but I don't think it will protect from sun fading....not sure anything will.....the glass top will protect from wear and tear but not sunlight unless you get some special coating on it which would mask the appearance of the wood.

I would use a window shade or shutter during the sunniest part of the day; it will protect the whole area from fading.

Can you just cut the sunlight off with window treatments...even just by pulling down a simple shade during the day? That was the solution we came up with when we were getting too much sun on a chest and sofa in the living room. It was inexpensive and worked just fine.
