Hello and welcome.

Man, I hate to rain on your parade, but...Who is this "professional" refinisher? Where are the toners? Good grief, it's been stripped and refinished in one color! Icon_confused

I need to take a photo of a 37-650X I have here that Barry Jones did a year or so ago. It was toned where it should be toned...and is walnut where it should be walnut.

If it was sprayed with lacquer, don't worry, it can still be made to look right. But I would be having a long talk with that "refinisher"...especially once you see what that cabinet should look like.
