I am contemplating on bringing this sucker to a guy who has a wood working shop, and possibly re-sanding it and putting some kind of high gloss stain on it to close up the wood grain thus leaving a finnish that can be cleaned, OR just buy a new TV stand...
The only way your last paragraph makes any sense is if it's real wood ... MDF isn't wood (Medium Density Fibreboard) and it isn't worth professional refinishing ... you could give it a light sand and a coat of paint yourself - but it's not worth a pro's time and expense.
Did you try cleaning it like I suggested - 5 bucks in supplies and 20 minutes and you're good to go AFAIC.
