Griddles Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hi, I have this table: https://www.highfashionhome.com/products/flourish-dining-table It is wood, but painted white. It is looking less than stellar and only about 2 years old. I am a novice when it come to maintaining 'good' furniture. I have tried google, but to put it lightly there is too much information. Wax, polish, varnish, sealants oh my! Anyone a DIY'er who has had to spruce up painted wood who has advice? (PS it was a wedding present from our families) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Sand it and repaint it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 From what I can see from the link it is most likely a whitewashed birch plywood maybe laid over a manufactured wood core. If you are wanting to maintain the whitewash look you are pretty limited. I would guess wax might be your best bet for protecting that without changing the appearance. Any kind of stain or polish is almost definitely going to change the look so be prepared for that. You might be able to lightly sand(hand with paper) a sample spot on the bottom and try a product or two and see what your results are. I'm not a huge fan of waxing. We had a butcher block counter section that I used to wax regularly because it just doesn't last on surfaces that see a lot of use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 And... just like that, I'm now getting "High Fashion Home" ads in my browser. Damn you big brother! Er, I mean All Hail Big Brother! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griddles Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks for the help. Sorry for the ads. I forgot that they do that pretty hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
