How to Refinish A Dining Table & Chairs
Updated: Jan 19, 2022
This dining table & chairs were damaged with huge gouges & scratches throughout. The top had several particle board bubbles, the chair seats were filthy & in need of upholstering, the wood was gouged and scratched, the edges of the table had pieces of the trim broken off and the all legs and joints were wobbly!
In this video I will show you 3 different ways to refinish a dining table and chairs for personal use or to flip for a profit.
I also will show you how to "turn" the damaged particle board top into a beautiful stained top using a product that contains 66% wood fiber: Liquid Wood.
This top when finished was virtually indistinguishable from real wood! The results are stunning!
