TR -- wow, thanks for all the detail. Your reply helps tremendously! I lucked out on these rattan frames because the previous owner tried to restore them and gave up himself. He used Citrustrip on the 2 cushion frame and a damp rag to wipe off the excess once it stripped the original finish off. Still, he wasn't able to get a lot of the old finish off in all the nooks and crannies...

Not sure how many hands this set has passed through over the years but it looks like its gone through several resto attempts by the thickness of stain/varnish/etc in all the hard to reach spots. And so, now its my turn to give it a go.

And after all is said and done -- I'm still going to have to get cushions made.
