1. Start by cleaning the furniture with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris.
2. Sand the furniture with a fine-grit sandpaper to prepare the wood for refinishing.
3. Apply a wood conditioner to help the stain penetrate more easily.
4. Apply a wood stain to the furniture using a cloth or a brush.
5. Apply several thin layers of a protective finish such as polyurethane, shellac, or varnish to the furniture.
6. Allow the furniture to dry completely between each layer of protective finish.
7. After the final layer of finish is applied and dried, buff the furniture with a soft cloth.
