You could paint straight on top with Chalk paint and then give it a Clear or Antique wax finish, or Paint on ESP and then undercoat and Topcoat using a satin finish, or go the traditional way. Rub down to remove the original surface, Prime, Undercoat and then Topcoat. The choice is yours....... Best wishes.
I would probably sand them a little then prime and paint. If you are painting the top of the table be sure to give it a couple of coats of a clear coat that can be wiped down. Sounds like a fun project. Good luck!
You will want to strip the current finish, repair (if needed), sand, clean, prime, and paint. Make sure you are going to use a highly durable paint because tables get much more abuse than other types of painted furniture. I think that is why you see so many tables that are dual finish with stain on the flat surface and painted chairs & table base/legs. Refresh the hardware or replace it is well.

Chalk paint is the way to go! No sanding required!
