Coffee Table and Sofa Table refinish

We gave mom these tables when she moved into her new place. They blended in with the carpet and the table tops were worn out. I "stole" them while she was on vacation and gave them an update. She loved them! I used Minwax Gel Stain in mahogany.
Enjoyed the project?

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Okay love the look but,...how did you really do it? I have a black sofa table with some nicks here and there and would love to see it in a espresso brown. What's the best way to proceed. Just lightly sand and mini wax it? sand it all the way down? Please advise
Wouldn't chalk paint be easier ? I've redone chairs with it a light sanding wipe off paint let dry then a wax coat very simple process
Where are the instructions? Did you just sand then apply gel or there other steps?
