<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sedona, post: 10498628, member: 4438&quot;]Hello, everyone. Someone local is selling some circa 1900 oak office/bankers chairs (the kind you’ve seen a ton of times, which sell for under $100). I saw them but haven’t pulled the trigger yet because the finish is pretty old and beaten up. The chairs themselves are solid (as chairs from that era are). I know there have been several posts on refinishing these types of chairs. </p><p><br /></p><p>I saw some good videos on YouTube yesterday by some guys who’ve restored similar chairs by taking them apart, removing the finish, sanding, restaining, waxing with a buffer etc. I don’t have any of that equipment, don’t have that talent, and the chairs aren’t worth taking to have professionally restored. </p><p><br /></p><p>Absent taking the chairs apart and doing a full restoration (including sanding and staining), what is the best way to improve an oak chair, e.g. what would you use to clean and condition it? I’m pretty good at cleaning things up, but I know my limits and I don’t want to buy a chair that needs a restoration that I can’t give it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
