Need advice?

By Bjorkfansoph

I need some advice for those in the know? So I hate the finish of my dining room table and chairs, my question is what finish shall I use once I sand everthing down? I'd like to go really dark, should I do this? If you all give advice, can you include a link for me to see the finish you are talking about? Thanks!! Oh, btw, the first photo was taken without a flash and the second one was with a flash.

I used Minwax's Olde Maple Satin Polyshade finish when I redid my coffeetable a couple of years ago.  I've got some pictures of the table in various stages of the refinishing job posted over at my site.  I found the finish easy to work with, though it's probably still too light a color for your dining room.  Maybe Minwax's Antique or Royal Walnut?  You can view the colors of Minwax's finishes on their website but I'd recommend going to your local home center (e.g. Home Depot and/or Lowe's) as most will have sample pieces of wood with the various finishes which will give you a better idea of what the finished look like.
