Shari on Jun 06, 2014Assuming you don't want to paint, or strip and restain... Try Howard's Restor-a-Finish. It is a wipe-on product that revitalizes and restores wood finishes. It contains a little bit of stain so you will have to pick the color closest to the finish on your table. Any hardware-type store like Home Depot, Lowes, Ace etc., should carry it and a can generally costs less than $10.00. Restor-a-Finish won't 100% fix the problem but you should see a huge improvement.Helpful Reply

Debbie on Jun 07, 2014Try the restore a finish if you want to keep the look you have. But if you want to refresh the piece, I would sand the damaged area to smooth and then just paint all the legs. A wood finished top with painted legs is a pretty look.Helpful Reply

Tuzwoo on Jun 07, 2014I wood sand it and paint it black,or a matching color to the room.............since this is a problem now, it will be a problem if you just restain it. this way you can touch it up with the black paint so it will always look nice.Helpful Reply

Lisa on Jun 07, 2014For a really radical change you could take off three to four inches of the damaged wood. Place a transition block just larger than the diameter of the existing leg. Below the transition block add new furniture legs that are usually used for couches or chairs. Stain to match.1 marked as helpful Reply

Elizabeth on Jun 07, 2014You might want to consider sanding the lower 4-5" of each leg and then paint those sections with a gold paint or even a fun color paint !!!Helpful Reply

Christine Keating-Ingelse on Jun 09, 2014If you like the colorblock look, you can sand a little and paint the bottom portion of the legs in a color that either matches or is complimentary to your existing decor.Helpful Reply
