Counter height table

This is the table that goes with the chairs listed below.  The top was all scratched up, So I knew I was going to strip it and stain it.  I got out the sander (generally the sander works better and faster than me waiting on stripper).  The sander didn't work.  I usually use citristrip...it didn't work either.  So hubby had some powerful stuff, that worked great!

I forgot to take a before the stripper was applied.

Then I got the sander out, it took me a while (3 hours in total). but now all the scratches are out, and it's so smooth.  I was planning on staining the chair seats to match the table top, but I don't know if I want to go thru the hassle.
