You can strip it off and/or sand it off. If you are refinishing the wood, if you are planning on stain, you'll want to strip it down to bare wood, so the new stain can soak into the wood. If you are going to paint, remove the gloss, seal it with a product like Kilz, so the old finish doesn't bleed through the new paint. Then you can paint and seal it. Good luck and stay safe!
if you just want to remove the glossy surface a light sanding with a high grit paper or steel wool. You can scrape it, you can strip it. It just depends on what you want to achieve
Just to dull use 000 or 0000 steel wool. Don't use the no sand products unless you are planning to refinish or paint. They sometimes leave the surface sticky.

Use liquid sandpaper. It just removes the gloss. Eliminates or at least reduces the need to sand if wood is to be painted.

Use a fine grit sandpaper to sand off the gloss. Wipe with slightly damp cloth, let dry. Repeat as necessary to remove the gloss.
Hi Patty, I would sand the table with an orbital sander if you have one. It help with reducing the scratches a normal sander may leave behind.
Why would you want too ?
Fine steel wool - 0000 should do the trick.
Hi ! Use a product made by Krud Kutter called a de glosser . Worked great ! About $6 at home depot .

sand it down
Just to dull use 000 or 0000 steel wool. Don't use the no sand products unless you are planning to refinish or paint. They sometimes leave the surface sticky.

Sand it down or use remover to take it off.
Try sanding it in a spot that is not noticeable. If it works then you can sand everything else.
