I have a wood slat coffee table. It is unfinished wood, slats, so there are cracks or very small spaces between each wood piece. Any thoughts on how I could seal the cracks/spaces between each wood slat so that if a drink falls over and spills, it doesn't drip through in between the slats? I was thinking caulking between and around the slats, then painting/sealing the wood, but don't know if the caulk would crack off.
I'm thinking caulk would look horrible. I'd also be more concerned that if wood is unfinished, any liquid would stain it. I'd have to see it, but maybe stain/poly the table, and then get a flat glass top to go on top of the wood to prevent what you mentioned.
I hate those trays in bathrooms. They're such a PITA to clean. Remove all the junk, clean the tray, clean all of the junk, replace all of the junk. Because they're a PITA to clean, many people don't bother and the stuff on the tray gets gross. Rarely are those trays merely decorative with a few select items. Most of the stuff people keep on those trays should be in drawers where they don't collect dust. I hope this post inspires some people to go look at their bathroom trays!

A glass top is a perfect remedy. You can get a nice thick piece of glass with beveled/ground edges at most mirror/glass shops for less than you might think and it will look better than caulk. Staining it might still look good.
