A little while after we first moved in I went on a rampage of trying to find some supplementary tables/ stands for the house because we were severely lacking in this department. We had no where to put remotes, books, lamps, etc. in the house which for me, when everything needs a place, but there's no place for it to go, is very frustrating. I found this nice wood microwave stand at the flea market J-Town Mall of Vendors for $15.00 with the intention of re-finishing it. I bought the materials for the project but just recently got around to doing it.
I cleaned the table and sanded it down. Then cleaned the dust and sanded again. And again. Once I did this, I conditioned the wood as was recommended (but maybe not necessary). I bought the dark walnut stain from Lowe's.
After one coat, I learned a few things about stain. Drips dry fast, and it's very hard to stain a shelf like the one in between the top of the table and the cabinet well. But I persevered and sanded off the drips and added another two coats. Now it has evolved into a perfect TV stand for our bedroom.
