New to this, and can’t ask my beloved trash picker grandpa. I just overall don’t like the veneer. They (I have two in the same condition) looked like real wood from afar, but I’m determined to make these look better nonetheless. Wood is CUTE don’t get me wrong but if it was real wood I’d have sanded it and stained it a different shade. Am I able to remove the veneer and achieve something similar?

What would you do with these?

Just got the opportunity to try this out because of a storage unit becoming available to me. Just found this online for 115 CAD. Would it be worth it to try to flip?

Any advice is appreciated thank you!

This is my parents, I refinished with shellac.

Idk if this is the right place to post but I’m desperate. I just bought a beautiful large 6-8 seater table for an absolute bargain. ( like for $150) As soon I brought it home I noticed this foul smell…. Coming from the table. My dining room now smells like this old musty wood smell and it’s absolutely unbearable. I’ve tried cleaning it but the smell is so strong.

Someone please help coz the table is so nice and now I’m frustrated I can’t even sit at the table.

I accidentally used the wrong products (spray pledge) on this old safe. See issues. Please please help me with the fastest fix looks wise. I’m not looking to totally restore it. I just want to fix this spot temporarily. Thank you. The light part on the left is my biggest worry.

I got this American of Martinsville Merton Gershun end table last year at a yard sale. I don't think I should refinish. Thoughts?

My mom left some really nice Baker Furniture wood nightstands outside for the last 3 weeks. It's been rained on and frost dew every morning. Is it savable? What steps can I take? Thanks

I was doing nails and I had sat down a bottle of acetone and it ate away at my table. Does anyone know how to fix this or what kit I could get to repair it

Every once in awhile I get the bug for wood.

Wobbly chair base. The small ‘bolt’ and larger circular ‘washer’ don’t wobble. What tool will let me remove or tighten this? Or do I need to go in from the bottom of the chair, under the 4 legs, where there is a large hex bolt?

Picked up this absolutely delightful 1970’s lemon table today, but it looks like there’s some dark staining on some of the slices. I’m worried about using bleach and discoloring the yellow. Bar keeps friend started taking the finish off. Anyone have ideas on how to get this back to its former glory?

Suddenly dropped lower than usual while sitting on the sofa. We turned it over and noticed a "wire", that runs along the sofa, had broken.

The red circle shows where it broke, blue arrow shows that it runs along the sofa.

What is the name of the wire? Any ideas on how to fix it? It seems to be "crimped" to the springs.

Question. A many years ago attempt at holding this chair together (not my effort) nailed (look to be small common type) into the legs and through the dowelled ends of the spreaders. How would you remove the nails to complete the disassembly? Everywhere else it is pegged & glued without joints being cleaned up so no tight fits.

This is a George Hunzinger Carved Walnut Platform Rocking Chair, patent pending from the late 1800’s. A friend of ours sold it to us for $20. We love it, but the pink just isn’t our style, so we were wondering if it is possible/if we should remove or replace the cushioning? Is it possible to dye the cushions a different color? The chair is also quite dirty/dusty and I am not sure what is safe to use to clean it up. Does anyone here have any tips on restoring a vintage rocking chair like this?

Hello! I bought this beautiful antique secretary from marketplace. I love it, but would like to clean up some of the scratches. I don't want to remove the age, just some of the damage if I can. What would be the best way to go about repairing scratches without sanding and refinishing the whole thing? Thank you! https://imgur.com/a/mQ3AJQj
