As you can see from the picture its a mess, you've got handles missing it will all need totally striped

you can see the difference after stripping and sanding

After sanding always give any surface your finishing a good dust down and then a good wipe with a tacky rag. now were ready to apply the stain

I decided to do the washing table in 2 bits on the top, so I polished the splash- back first then do the table top after.
