Refinishing vs. Restaining Furniture: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

If you\u2019re deciding between refinishing vs. restaining furniture, the main difference is how much of the existing finish needs to be removed. Restaining typically involves light sanding and applying a new stain over a properly prepped surface, while refinishing requires stripping the piece down to bare wood before applying stain or a new protective coat. For furniture that\u2019s in good condition, restaining is often the quicker and more straightforward option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
