For tips and tricks, I referenced a post that I pinned on Pinterest from the following blog: How To Refinish a Table. I started out with 60 grit sandpaper as recommended. As I was sanding I noticed that it was difficult to remove the preexisting glossy stain. However, I continued sanding and followed the recommendation to sand with the grain of the table. Initially I felt that I was not making any progress because the process was taking a lot longer than expected. The surface of the coffee table was not difficult to sand, but as soon as I had to start sanding the edges, I noticed that the edges were going to be a lot more difficult than the surface. On the edges there were spots that were becoming uneven so I needed to adjust my approach to sanding. I noticed that I needed to sand off the glossy stain and then round out the edges. After I finished sanding the edges I sanded the whole table again with 120 grit paper as recommended. After that I sanded the whole table with 220 grit paper to finish the sanding.
My next step is to find the color of stain that I desire and stain the table.
I will post a video of me staining the table!
