Refinishing a Mersman coffee table

Yes! It came out so well. I wish I had thought to take a “before” picture!

A neurodivergent degree of Monitoring the Situation lol (I ran though a list of potentially pertinent search terms on all the regional secondhand forums more or less daily. Ended up finding it in a classified ad on a local news site)

Haha well it paid off, strong work! 🫡

Oh you know… “Mersman oak glass coffee table” (also “teak” because some people think it’s teak) “Lou Hodges oak coffee table" (it isn’t Lou Hodges but everyone thinks it is; same goes for his brands “California Design Group” and “Creative Crafts, which I also tried) “Gary Vanderwood” (the actual designer for Mersman), “Belaire” (the collection it’s from) Period keywords like antique, vintage, 70s, retro, MCM, midcentury/mid century (different results, v annoying) Style keywords like boho, atomic, post-modern, brutalist (people don’t seem to know what these words mean but love to use them) Descriptive keywords like sculptural, cantilever, sling, tambour, floating shelf Keywords old people use: funky, old; “solid wood” “cocktail table” “occasional table” Common misspellings like Lou Hodgers, Merman, Belair, coffe, cofee 😅

Thank you! 🧡
