    Yes, you can paint solid oak furniture. However, if a piece already has a finish on it, you may need to strip the paint using a chemical stripper or hand tools and apply a primer before painting. Because the stripping process can result in damage when performed improperly, you may wish to have a professional paint your furniture for you. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of solid oak furniture.
