The stained top took me the longest. I wanted it to be really dark. I used a stain and polyuathane combo and I was very happy with the way it went on and looked so shiny. It took about 7 coats of the stain over a week to get it perfect.
Painting took some time with the open area on the bottom being a little awkward to get into, but nothing to hard. After looking at new drawer pulls I knew I had to get this one, it matched the stain and almost gave the whole table a fresh look. I love it!
I knew the second I bought it what I wanted it to look like in the end and it turned out perfect! It is my favorite piece so far.
I'm hoping to have two more pieces finished this week if I have time, a gray chair and another stained top\painted bottom table (with a pop of color!).
