Refinishing an old tabletop is a great way to make a table look new again. And if you do it well, the new finish will look continue to look beautiful for years.
The first step is stripping the old finish. There are two ways to do this - sanding or using a chemical stripper. In most cases, using a stripper works best.
You can also strip and restain the table legs, but it is much more time intensive. I saved a lot of time by painting my table base with a paint sprayer.
