This table must have had a poor quality finish on it. I bought it new/scratch‘n’dent at slumberland 8 years ago and within several months the finish started coming off. (I’ve always wiped it down with a lightly damp soapy rag but not sopping wet...may that’s a no no... i grew up with a glass table so i have no idea if finished wood is supposed to handle this or not.) Fast forward 8 years and it’s a nightmare. It’s a very thin veneer so i am hesitant to sand too much...i am also concerned about dissolving the veneer’s glue with acetone. I tried a spot of acetone, and after using acetone i was able to chip the finish off with my nail. I dont need this table to be perfect but i’d like to refinish the surface well enough that it’s no longer an eyesore and i’d like the surface to be protected from water and stains soaking into the wood. I want to do it cheaply too. It needs to get me by a few more years until i can afford to replace it. Ideas? I’m considering just using a mouse sander, scuff it up, get a matching stain to color the bare wood, then go over it all with an oil based polyurethane or something.
