After cleaning and applying 3 coats of wood stain/ restorer to two wooden sun loungers, they seem to have come up really well and now looking at doing the same to a 1980’s Nathan extendable table and chairs that are a bit tired and have some wood discolouration on them.

Now, it could have been a fluke, but has anyone had a go at furniture restoration in the past? A new table and 4 chairs is about £500 to £700 and I wondered if anyone had experience at using a french polisher company in the area and if so how much they normally charge . Just a ball park figure.

If it is around the £100 mark it may be worth looking at that, otherwise I may have a go myself.

Cheers

If it's any help Dave, when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s, French Polishers used to advertise on postcards in the local newsagent :blush:
