Why is my wood furniture sticky?

• <div><p>Wood furniture gets sticky when dirt and grime accumulate on the surface. Sometimes, wax coatings and oils are the culprit, but other times, it’s a sign that the finish is failing, and no amount of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">cleaning your wood furniture</a> will help. Varnish and lacquer can both get sticky as they age, and in this case, you’ll need to refinish the wood to stop the issue.</p></div>

Q: What can I do with old laminate countertops?

• <div><p>You can revamp your laminate countertops effortlessly with the magic of paint, the DIYer's ally. Many tutorials and DIY kits are available to help you achieve the look of natural stone, including marble. So why not unleash your creativity and transform your countertops into stunning pieces that will leave everyone in awe of your artistic prowess?</p></div>

Q: Can you reverse water damage to a wood table?

• <div><p>Minor water damage on wood tables can be reversed fairly easily. You can remove stains and light surface damage with a sandblock, then repaint and re-varnish the wood surface. For swollen and rotten wood, you can cut away the damaged parts and use a wood filler as long as the affected area isn&rsquo;t too much.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to refinish furniture?

• <div><p>For small, simple pieces that aren&rsquo;t antiques, a professional furniture refinisher can usually refinish a piece in <b>two to three hours</b>, while larger pieces&mdash;like bed frames and full dining sets&mdash;could take <b>several days</b>. Your refinishing professional should be able to give you an estimated timeline for the work before getting started so that you can plan to be without your furniture during the process. Antique furniture might require additional time and take a week or more to refinish, as they require special care to avoid damage.</p></div>

Q: Is wood veneer actually wood?

• <div><p>Yes, wood veneer is wood. Instead of using large pieces of lumber, wood is sliced into thin sheets that are glued or laminated to larger pieces of wood. Wood veneer is both cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and versatile. It can be stained or have different finishes&mdash;varnish, lacquer, shellac, and more&mdash;based on your preferences.</p></div>

We were pleased with the wide selection of material choices in this shop. Although we were told our furniture would take 2 1/2 months, it was done in 2 weeks. Some of the work was not done correctly when I went to pick them up and they fixed it and apologized. I would go back here again.
