Hi and wellcome to the Phorum,
Wouldn't use a sander for a number of reasons. Sanding against the grain damages the look of the grain. Difficult to get into tight places with the sander. If not very careful can easily sand thru the veneer (not good).
Chemical striping is a bit more messy but yields a better results. Something like Citrus Strip to strip and oms to clean afterwards works. Some uses lacquer thinner but VERY VOLATILE and the fumes will knock you out so work in a well ventilated area. Gloves are good too.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
