Is it solid wood? Any stripper will work, but make sure you used pieces of wood to scrap the stripper off. DO NOT USE A PUTTY KNIFE. That will cut into the wood. Once you strip as much as you can, Use stealwool, dip in stripper to get in places were there is still paint.
Before starting, test the stripper in a place you can't see first.

Personally, I wouldn't strip it. If you have a power sander, just get some rough grit paper and sand it down. It will take most of the paint off. go over it with a fine grit when you're done and prime then paint. I painted an old coffee table that was previously painted, and that's all I did. Turned out fine. One coat of primer and two coats of paint and you would never know that it used to be this horrid shade of green.
