Furniture refinishing is the process of restoring and improving the appearance of wooden furniture. This typically involves stripping away old paint or varnish, sanding the surface to remove imperfections, and applying new finishes like stain or sealant. The goal is to enhance the furniture's natural beauty and extend its lifespan. Refinishing can be done on various types of furniture, including tables, chairs, and dressers. It allows homeowners to update their decor without the cost of buying new pieces. Proper refinishing techniques can also help preserve the historical value of antique furniture.
