Hmmm... Here are two closeups of the finish. The first images is about 2.5M and the second one is about 1.6M

The finish on the front appears cracked and peeling. I will have to look again more closely, but this appears to be the only cracked part of the finish.

The spots on the side appear to be a combination of light scrapes and splashes and drips that sat for too long.

Most of my woodworking experience is relatively basic stuff like building and finishing speaker cabinets. I have no experience when it comes to resurrecting old furniture.

Does the cracking finish in the first image necessitate stripping down to the bare wood?
