Coffee Table
How do I fix severe fading on my coffee table?
My dark brown/black wood coffee table has gotten a very pale irregular looking mark that looks like the wood has been bleached or something. It’s not something that seems to wash off, so I don’t know what to do to fix it. Do I have to stain the table top? Are there any other options for correcting it? It’s too large for a furniture marker and those done seem to work too well anyway.
Take it out of the sunlight if you can and refinish it. It’s not a big deal, just remove the finish with a sander (fine sandpaper) and refinishing is as easy as wiping on a new finish. It’s easy!
