Can't decide on finish !!

Hi guys .. I can't decide on what finish to use on this bedside cabinet, it's made from pallet wood and I want to leave all the nail holes and gaps for that upcycled look.

I see a lot of this style furniture online and it's either painted white, stained or treated for that aged look.

I'm also considering leaving it raw and let it age.

What's your preference or can you suggest something new.

I do want to sell this piece because I don't have room for it and I was also thinking of letting the customer decide.

I would do some simple poly finish for protection. A solid color will be difficult to apply to that kind of wood without all kinds of extra work going into it. It has a rustic charm that many people would love, so my vote would be to leave as is with some simple protective coating applied.
