Kona Gel Stain by Varathane

Why it worked

This video likely performed well due to the satisfying 'before and after' transformation of a thrifted item, appealing to DIY and home decor enthusiasts. The creator's clear demonstration of the process, including the use of specific products like the Varathane Kona Gel Stain, provides practical value and inspiration.

Summary

The creator transforms an old, ugly coffee table found at Goodwill into a beautiful piece of furniture. The process involves stripping the old paint, sanding the wood, staining it with a dark gel stain, and applying polyurethane for protection.
