its doesnt match my decor... i wanna stain it dark cherry
As a woodworker with over 30 years experience, I can tell you that "if it's wood, it can be fixed".
First, get a 1-gallon can of a good chemical stripper - I use the BIX brand. Follow the instructions on the can and remember that it will probably take more than one application of stripper to remove all of the old finish. Then you need to sand the entire surface with 220-grit, open coat sandpaper. (Sanding will remove the remaining stain, and smooth the surface.) Next, you need to apply the new stain - I prefer Minwax oil-based wiping stain. Do not sand after applying the stain. After the stain has completely dried, start applying whatever varnish you plan to use; again, I prefer Minwax polyurethane. You will need to apply at least two coats of varnish. After the first coat has dried, sand the entire surface with 320-grit sandpaper. After the second (or last) coat has dried, polish the surface with 1500-grit wet-or-dry sandpaper, using spray wax as a lubricant. This will give you a buttery-smooth finish.
