Solid Wood Dining Furniture

I recently inherited a solid wood dining room set. It is not too old, prob 10 years or so from an upscale US manufacturer. The horizontal surfaces are stained, and the vertical surfaces and legs are painted. It is in perfect condition, BUT smells of cigarette smoke! I thought it was just the chair cushions, but no...Is there a remedy for smoke odor that can be used on both painted AND stained wooden surfaces?

Try mixing 1 part white vinegar and 5 parts water. Take a clean rag dunk it in the vinegar and water, wring it out really good. Use that to wipe down the table and let it dry. That should take care of the smoke smell. It won't smell like vinegar after it dries. Make sure to use a quality furniture polish after it dries so the wood won't dry out.

www.TheFurniture.com presents contemporary 'Tribecca' Dining set with spacious rectangular leg table. Made of cherry veneers and hardwood ...

I was given have a Duncan Phyfe style dining room table that is Mahogany (not veneer) solid wood, approximately 70 y/o. We use this set as our everyday table. It gets a white water stain immediately whenever any water touches the table even if I dry it right away. I have used Howard's Restore-A-Finish which removes the white marks but how do I seal the table so this doesn't happen. We would like to be able to use the table without being so careful and paranoid of drips every meal. I would prefer not to have to completely refinish the table. Also, I want to make sure I don't use a product that will ruin the finish.

My best advice is not to mess with it. The only alternative is to refinish the table. This will destroy any future value for collectors.
Use lined table cloths, and table runners. I know....If you can't see the mahogany...Use runners between large meals, and the lined tablecloth for messier meals.

I'm looking for a simple, large solid wood dining table with 4 legs and nothing else, but can't seem to find anything in HOuston. One type of stores like Gallery furniture only sells sets for over $1000, the other is Ikea which is Swedish walmart.

Is there a good store in Houston where I can buy a simple, stable wood table for up to $300?

thanks

Ikea has a few to chose from. www.ikea.com or try craigslist. It's a site where individuals can sell their belongings. www.craigslist.org and click the houston section.

We just purchased a vacation home in the Kissimmee area that needs to be furnished. Since we will only be there a couple times a year, I do not need anything top of line like solid wood, but not something that is going to fall apart either. I would like a mid-range furniture store. I will need to furnish three bedrooms, a living room, and dining room.

Super Target has some things there is one on 192 in Kiss

We have Ikea but about a 30 min drive from the Kiss area.
