Sanding Wooden Dining Chairs with eQualle Sandpaper Sheets (9 x 11 in) – 100, 150, 220, 320 Grit Guide

Dining chairs experience daily use, leaving them scratched, scuffed, and dull. To restore their beauty, sanding is the first essential step, and eQualle Sandpaper Sheets (9 x 11 in) are the perfect choice. With the right grit sequence, you can achieve a smooth, durable finish ready for stain, paint, or varnish.

Chairs collect scratches from movement, dents from use, and wear from cleaning. Sanding with eQualle Sandpaper Sheets (9 x 11 in) removes imperfections, levels surfaces, and prepares the wood grain for long-lasting coatings. Without sanding, new finishes may look patchy and peel prematurely.
