How to Refinish a Coffee Table for Beginners

[@funkypunkypine]

THANK YOU for not adding music. Also, great video! Love how it turned out!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

thanks for watching :)

[@BigSarnt]

Yeah that stupid new age music sucks

[@EvaSolveig]

Totally agree !

[@Lord-Panda2112]

@@EvaSolveig Agreed too!!

[@Smacdoug1]

I like it dude. At first I was sceptical about what color and methods. Then you brought back the original picture and that thing wasnt gunna see life ever again, and you did your touch to it and brought it inside your house and it's got a new life. I respect that. Nice work it does look better then excepted. Your style isnt mine but I still think its cool

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks dude! Cheap paint and stain gave it another life for sure, plus I made a decent profit for a coffee table!

[@jodidavis6595]

That glazing is very cool. What a difference it makes. Very pretty ❤️

[@rahamanyara471]

A strong lesson in planning out your project before starting on it

[@campfireaddict6417]

Astonishing. So many beautiful pieces of furniture like this one (that grain on top is just gorgeous) go to the landfill. Whenever I see something on the curb I stop and load it into the truck, and usually people throw away old pieces of furniture that have good bones and just need some TLC to absolutely shine. (Even if it's a piece of crap I check for interesting hardware.)

[@karenjarrett529]

I would love to hang out with you . I can't get my hubby or friends to stop and "look for junk" I can spot something and see potential in the piece of furniture I find

[@campfireaddict6417]

@@karenjarrett529 I wish you lived closer (what's the chance of that?) because some furniture is just too heavy for me to load and a friend would be great. I loaded a CHERRY CORNER CABINET in the truck a few years ago, took me like a half hour but no way would I let that go! No way. Sometimes taking drawers out helps (if there are any). Just do it yourself like I do.

[@merinahalingten4420]

I am kinda new to watching furniture flipping but have watched different videos from others. Your finished product was beautiful and had the (for me) the very big bonus of good explanations and no perky and annoying music. Thank you! I have subscribed.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks Merina! My goal is to keep things simple and I hope my explanations are easily understood. Thanks for subscribing to the channel!

[@Lord-Panda2112]

I really like wood so the paint is not for me. That said, you skill is clear. No stupid music, clear narration, well explained process. Very enjoyable, thank you. Subscribed!

[@mattiasjacobson5104]

Does it bother anyone else that the drawers werent functional?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

hahah weird concept, right?

[@rmar127]

Yep. It’s really irritating me. Without seeing the underside, I’m guessing there would have been plenty of room underneath

[@andronicemarinis1072]

Yes, I agree.

[@artysplash5969]

It's a regular type of "classic look furniture" from the middle of 20-40s.

[@christygaffney5814]

yah, weird...I think I would've filled the knob/handle holes left them off.

[@pattikemp-gettmann9646]

Wow! Throughout the entire video, I thought this is bad. After it was done. I said wow that looks great

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Considering cheap materials it turned out ok! Thanks for watching!

[@nikkicrayons]

Trust the process!

[@ns102676]

Nice work, looks really cool. My only small critique is that I generally don't like the paint over wood look, I think letting the natural wood grains show through looks better, so I'd prefer some type of stain rather than a paint. With paint you can't see the natural beauty of the wood, so why even have wood. For me paint makes sense only when the underlying substrate has no natural beauty.

[@ICatheraTashaI]

I agree. If it's fake wood then I'd paint it, or if it's so beat up that you have to put a lot of filler on it.

[@DenBank1]

I was ambivalent about refinishing with chalk paint my old pine TV stand which matches my other vintage furnitures, so I guess I would have to refinish it in same pine but modern mat look. Thanks.

[@robmullin1128]

Thanks for the tutorial. I am making over my great grandmothers desk that was given to me.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Np, Good luck rob!!

[@faithsmith7431]

Another great video. You are able to change things in the middle of your project. Check what colors are trending for the year and adjust your paint colors to stay on top.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Great tip!

[@simonejuneau2143]

I think it looks beautiful, kinda like a Classy Farmhouse Look, very charming, for sure.😍😍😍

[@janetrodgers7007]

Elegant and so Chic. I love it. Glad you did the drawers the same as the top it just gives it that extra something. I would definitely be glad to have it in my home in a heartbeat and I'm one hard to please fussy bunny! Fabulous..

[@marycarper5634]

This beautiful, looks so exspensive now!!!

[@artysplash5969]

Errmmm...no. It doesn't. Looks more like it's filled with dust and old + cheap. He didn't played with colours & lights of the wood, that usually give that "expensive look". He turned it opposite - into dull looking, "dusty" and suitable more for horror movies than for a bright salon or anywhere else.

[@KM-fe7xe]

As a mom, I saw a different purpose for that table. They make thin sheets of legos now that would fit perfectly into the indentation of the table top. It’s a shame those are faux drawers. That would have been a great place to store legos. Wicker storage baskets under the table for storage would suffice. 👍

[@FurnitureFlippa]

That would have been a perfect idea for this table!!

[@suzettehenderson9278]

I saw an opportunity to do a tile mosaic.

I wondered that same thing.

I use something called tack cloth to keep dust and all that extra nasty residue at bay it's an anti static cloth I wipe done the surface I'm sanding with it and it's keep all the dust away also work out side if you can
