Wood putty usually comes with multiple colors that match different raw wood types, so you can probably find something close to your wood furniture material.
#Glass top coffee tables Patch#
Once we noticed that, we became a lot more careful with our sanding approach and the remaining parts were fine.įor the exposed part, I used some wood putty to patch it up. We went a bit overboard with sanding without knowing it and ended up exposing some small areas of the particle board. However, not every part of this coffee table is made of solid wood which caught us by surprise in the middle of this DIY transformation.ĭuring the sanding step we have found out that the two drawers and table surface below the glass top were made of particle board but with a thin layer of wood. Removing the old finish is actually the part that takes the longest time but I garantee you it will be worth it if you would like to preserve the wood grain. So great hack if you are looking to save time from stripping and sanding – if it works for your particular coffee table shape of course. Honestly, I cannot tell a difference after staining them all together. I specifically picked plywood that has a similar grain pattern and base color. So basically I cheated a little bit by attaching some thin plywood to the concave parts of this coffee table. This is extra important if your ideal stain color is lighter than the current wood stain.įor the corners we used the Ryobi multi-tool that has the sander attachment that can go into corners.Īnother tip to save time on sanding is to cover old finish with thin wood board. We used orbital sander to fully expose the original wood grain. This step is about removing the old stain, and also getting rid of any remaining varnish. For tools and materials, most of them are very basic that most DIYers already have on hand – which really brings the cost down. This DIY project is actually really affordable as well. I just love how this refinish coffee table looks and the wood texture instantly adds warmth to our living room. Because of that, it does take some elbow grease, but the end result is so worth it! So for this coffee table makeover project, I was clear at the beginning to refinish the wood instead of painting it over. Also I like that it has two drawers which add storage space. Most of the parts are made of solid wood which makes it possible for me to refinish and keep the beautiful wood grains. This coffee table looks pretty dated, and a little bit wobbly too, but it has great bones. And guess what? I got it for only $10 – definitely a steal! So after I found this glass top coffee table on Facebook Marketplace, I couldn’t miss this opportunity. In fact the only furniture that serves as a coffee table function is a small outdoor side table that is 18 by 22. My living room has been desperately needing a coffee table for a very long time.
