Now I would have every intention of trying to sand it and re-stain it...or maybe just paint over what is already there.
OH MY, .... you wouldn’t do that on a dare, ……..
would you?
Wayward is correct, it looks to be mostly “grain painted”.
Iffen it was mine, ……. I would either cut a piece of thick glass (
that is if the bottom shelf was originally glass) ……. or a new piece of plywood to fit correctly as the bottom shelf ……. and then put the
Old English ‘Dark’ Furniture Polish to it.
Nothing more, just the Old English ........ and of course a good "
rub down" with an old T-shirt after it dried.
Marcylove, me thinks you would be pleased with the results iffen you were to do said.
ps: a new plywood bottom shelf would be so "dark" one would have to look close to see that it was a replacement.
