Hi,

I have a variety of pieces from Grandma's, yard sales, ebay, neighbors, etc., that really need refinishing.  Among them are a beautiful Baumritter/Ethan Allen very modern desk (x-leg), with chair, a coffee table and two side tables, Fin Juhl chairs, Plycraft lounge chair, and a Warren platner side year.  Any suggestions for a good, relatively reasonable refinishers and reupholsters for all this special blond wood?  The Warren Platner side chair was picked up for $25 on ebay.  I've tried everything to cut the rust, from naval jelley and sanding...it's not a job for me...and I don't know where to start! 

Thanks!

Thanks! I have to check that out!  Impressive.  The previous owner appears to have used the platner chair as porch furniture.  It pains me, but since the chair was cheap and in such sad shape, powder coating might not be such a bad thing.
