So they were having a sale and I bought this chair which I thought might be teak and was told was probably mahogany. Either way it was a great chair for our patio that I paid $9.00 after the discount. It was solid which is the most important when looking for a piece to redo. It did need some work as you can see from this "Before" picture.
So I wiped it down, sanded it, wiped it down again, then stained it with a dark stain to match the other dark brown furniture on our patio. *Time-saving tip: Use stain with a protective sealant in it to avoid having to do twice as much work. In the end I am very happy with this chair I will have for years to come for $9.00 that went to a great cause.
Great find, and great job with the chair!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! My chair on my front porch was from a "dumpster dive" :-) It was actually sticking out and I grabbed it and threw it in my trunk. Painting some tole roses on it, sealed it and it has been there about 8 years.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job and great find. I love it when you can get something quality for a good price.
