The Furniture Rescue Guide
That dresser with the white rings, the chair that wobbles, the drawer that sticks. Most of it is a one-afternoon fix with a soft cloth and things you already have, once you know what you're working with.

It gets a white ring, a scratch or a loose joint, and then a well-meant shortcut makes it worse.
