Best Way to Make Mismatched Furniture Match
Hello,
I have a lot of the furniture from Walmart and Target that's like modular MDF Sauder type furniture that are all different shades of "natural" looking wood (meaning they aren't white or black or other color).
What would be the best way to fix 'em all up so they look relativity the same and coordinate with each other? Thanks!

Assuming they are actually wood, you could strip them and then stain them all with the same stain.

I suspect they are mostly particle board with a thin cheap wallpaper like veneer to make them look like wood 
You could prime them with Zinnser's BIN and then paint them but IMO you'd be better off leaving them as is.

I was thinking they might not be wood....
I'd leave them as-is as well and save your money to put toward a matched set down the road.
