We just purchased a new patio set made of teak wood. I hate the oil based stain color that was put on the first 2 chairs (it looks like paint) -- we have stained the other pieces with teak oil.
Any suggestions on the easiest way to get the stain removed to restain with the teak oil??

They will be a 1/4" smaller in all dimensions when you are done is all I can say.

If you stained them and it looks like paint, then you used a solid stain.
You can use a stain or paint stripper that will remove most of the surface stain, but it won't remove any of the stain that penetrated the wood. When you oil those two chairs, they will be a different color than the furniture that was only oiled.

Stip the existing finish and apply what you want.
