Just a tip, buy another sealed pint of the stain for repairs. You’d be surprised how often lowes will discontinue wood stains or change suppliers all together. It’s also a lot harder for them to match a stain than it is for them to match paint.
Depending on what you use to seal it, you’re bound to get damage to the sealer and stain eventually. I have a kitchen bar that I made, you would be surprised how much damage you can do over time. I’ve tried a couple different seals on it over the years, they all have their ups and downs. In the end I think a French Polish with shellac is really nice for the kitchen mainly because it’s easy to repair.
