Review on International Concepts TV 28 Mission Unfinished by Dnasty Julius

When I received the unfinished International Concepts 647 Mission Printer Stand and its larger cousin, the International Concepts TV-28 Mission TV Stand, I was confused. pieces as the wood color was snow white on both. Although the wood itself is high quality hardwood and is good value, I think these parts were probably Chinese oak as they were made in Vietnam. The shipping of these two products that I bought from amazon.com was fast. The contents of the packages were in excellent condition, no parts were missing. Assembly was easy. However, it took me several weeks to decide on a course of action for finishing the wood. I'm not a big fan of wood stains because even when used properly, wood stains take a long time to dry, especially if more than one coat is applied. Stain is applied. Mission furniture should be darker. However, I didn't see a way to darken any of these parts sufficiently, so I figured the best way for me would be Minwax Polyshades. I chose two colors: Mission Oak and American Chestnut. I chose American Chestnut because I thought it would go better with my existing furniture as the color was a bit deeper. What I used to finish off the two parts was a can of stain/varnish, a good brush, a clean cloth to wipe off the excess. Stain/varnish and a can of white spirit with no odor. As with the stain, Polyshade is best applied with a brush and after it has set a little, wipe off the excess. The idea is to apply a very, very thin first coat. Due to the many joints and finishes of these two products, it took a long time to finish both parts to the point where they looked like the stain/coating had been properly applied. The application process took more than ten hours in several steps at a constant pace. The result is a bright gold-bronze finish. Purity advocates might argue that you have to grind before something like this, but to be honest I don't see the point of it since polyshades basically stick to everything. The results I got didn't win a prize in a finishing competition, but they were very, very good. While I applied three coats of Polyshade to each countertop and shelf, I didn't do anything else to the slats and sides. every part except applying one coat and then deburring with steel wool and applying a good coat of furniture wax. I felt that sanding and reapplying more stain/finish to the sides would be overkill. I don't know about you, but when I'm looking at a table, I focus on the tabletop, not the legs, which tend to fade in and out when placed in a room with normal lighting. In addition, most of the furniture produced is not covered with a thick layer of polyurethane anyway. I don't know if this type of oak will get a dark stain after sanding. I'm assuming it isn't.
