When you first start out on your own, your parents give you things they no longer want. My husband received a coffee table because his parents bought a new one and no longer wanted it. I have no idea where it came from because I never saw it in their home. But he needed furniture, so that is what he got. I guess it was OK with the couch he bought! We've moved numerous times since then and once he established his career, we bought our first house and new furniture. For some reason this table kept following us around and I really dislike it!
So here I am, board and feeling adventurous. I replaced the table with an old chest and took the table outside. Took it apart and will finish sanding once my hands and arms stop shaking.
I want the table to blend in with the TV stand to give the family room a more uniform look. Picking out the stain proved a little difficult as the TV stand is pine and this table is oak. But after a few attempts I matched it up fairly well.

After a few days to fully dry, I reassembled the table and it is back where it belongs. All these years I thought it was the glass I couldn't stand, but what it really turned out to be was the color.
