Can I Stain My Wood Chairs to Match My Wood Table?

A wooden dining room set can be an impressive centerpiece in your home as this is where you gather with your family and guests to share meals and have conversations that bring you closer together. A well-furnished dining room provides an excellent setting for these types of gatherings and few furnishings in the home are more elegant than a wooden dining room table with matching chairs. However, if the chairs in your dining room set have become worn out from consistent use to the point that they no longer match the table, this can take away from the aesthetic of your dining room.

While wooden furniture is highly durable, it is common for the wood stain and finish to wear out over time, resulting in a dull or faded appearance. The wooden chairs in your dining room set are likely to fade faster than the table because of the consistent direct contact that comes with using the chairs. If this happens to your wooden chairs, your first thought to resolve the situation may be to replace the chairs with pieces that better match the table. Replacing the chairs is a viable option but having them stained and refinished instead is a more cost-effective way to extend the life of your chairs and revitalize your dining room set.

Why You Should Stain Your Wood Chairs Instead of Replacing Them

The thought of getting new wooden chairs for your dining room set may be enticing, but this option can be costly as wooden furniture tends to be expensive. By choosing to refinish your wooden chairs instead, you not only save money, but you can also extend their lifespan and improve their appearance with a wood stain or finish that restores their color and highlights their natural grain.

The following are the benefits of choosing to refinish or stain your wood chairs instead of replacing them:

• Cost-effective: Wooden furniture is expensive, which means that replacing all of the chairs for your dining room set can be expensive. Choosing to stain and refinish the chairs instead is significantly less expensive than replacing them.
• Enhance natural beauty: Wood furniture is popular in large part because of its natural beauty. You can restore and enhance the natural beauty of your wood chairs with stains that add color and depth to the wood while bringing out its natural grain patterns.
• Protect against damage: Stains and finishes protect wood furniture against scratches, moisture, and UV rays. Applying a new stain and finish to your worn-out wooden chairs increases protection and extends their lifespan.
• Customized appearance: Staining and refinishing your wooden chairs gives you the option to customize their appearance to be an exact match to your dining room table. At Furniture Medic by MasterCare Experts, we provide color matching services to ensure that the new stain for your wood furniture matches your existing furniture and décor.
• Environmentally friendly: Staining and refinishing wooden chairs is a more environmentally friendly option than replacing them because it reduces waste.

Professional Wood Furniture Refinishing and Staining

Any piece of wooden furniture, including wooden chairs from a dining room set, can be stained and refinished to restore their appearance. The process starts with the removal of the current finish, stain, and paint followed by the repair of surface blemishes such as scratches and watermarks. The new paint or stain is applied, and the furniture is refinished to create the desired aesthetic.

The following are the complete steps for stripping and refinishing wood furniture:

• Cleaning: The furniture is cleaned to remove dirt, dust, and other debris from the surface.
• Stripping: The piece is completely stripped to remove the current finish, paint, and wood stain.
• Sanding: Any remnants of the paint, stain, and finish are removed with sanding.
• Surface damage repair: Minor surface damage including scratches, dents, watermarks, and stains are repaired before the piece is painted or stained.
• Color matching: The exact paint or wood stain color is determined using color matching to match the original appearance of the furniture or other furniture and décor in the home.
• Stain and paint application: A water-based factory stain is applied by hand, or the paint is applied using a spray booth.
• Finish: The new finish is applied in a spray booth.
