Briwax is excellent - it covers a multitude of sins & I use it on all our furniture. You can buy it in Wilkinsons for �4.75 a tin. It comes in different shades of brown & lasts for ages.

Hi Smuge, I went to our local hardwear shop but they do not stock it. Homebase is about 30 miles away so will try and remember to get some next time I am passing. Dont think we have a Wilkinsons in Scotland!
