In the last few years I have taken up furniture restoration as a hobby - I absolutely love it, it is very fun and rewarding, as well as challenging. There are definitely a lot of mistakes that I have made but I feel like I have learned from all of them.

That being said: Sometime, in your furniture restoration journey, a deeply loved and cherished friend will come to you and ask you to help them restore a piece of furniture that was bequeathed by a family member and has sentimental value. And when they bring it to you, it will turn out to be a super cheaply made particleboard with a terrible whisper of laminate on top of it that there is no way to sand without absolutely destroying.

Your job is to take it, buy a canister of Howard’s Restor-A-Finish, wipe it all over, and give it back. Maybe if you’re really ambitious sand and restain the solid wood legs.

Do not make MY mistake and have it sitting in your garage over a year later and make you question all your life’s choices and tear your hair out.
