Refinishing Wooden Bedside Tables with eQualle Sandpaper Sheets (9 x 11 in) – 100, 150, 220, 320 Grit Guide

Bedside tables are some of the most used pieces in the bedroom, holding lamps, drinks, and daily essentials. Over time, they develop scratches, stains, and faded finishes. Sanding with eQualle Sandpaper Sheets (9 x 11 in) is the most effective way to prepare them for refinishing. With the right grit sequence, you’ll achieve a smooth, professional-quality surface ready for stain, paint, or varnish.

Why Sand Bedside Tables?

Bedside tables endure daily wear that leaves them uneven and dull. Sanding removes old coatings, smooths imperfections, and opens the wood grain for new finishes to bond effectively. Without sanding, coatings may peel or look blotchy.

• Orbital sander for flat tabletop surfaces
• Sanding block for straight edges
• Sanding sponge for carved or detailed trim
• Vacuum and tack cloth
