I have had a table from K-Mart for at least 10 years. Every 3 years I sand the top and restain it and it keeps on doing table things like a champ.

My kitchen table is a hand me down from my parents, is at least 30 years old, never been maintained, and even has a nice big scar in it from a science experiment gone wrong (my dad sanctioned it so it's mostly his fault. He underestimated the potency of what he helped me make). It still works like a champ.

I've been wanted to sand and restain it for a while though. If nothing else so I can actually make the surface level again. Even bought the supplies. But I'm lazy and other things have taken priority. Like commenting on Lemmy.

Just checking, what product do you "stain" your table with?

That does explain lasting only 3 years.
