You could also use a cabinet scraper:

I find these much easier and quicker than using a sander.
They leave smooth surface, without the dust and noise of a power sander.
They need to be sharpened before use and a little hook turned on the blade which will take fine shavings off the wood.
I've been finishing furniture with Osmo polyx oil with pleasing results. It leaves a nice water resistant finish. I think it is available in matt.
