Can I paint the whole desk white? I was looking for a white desk in this shape!

I think it would be tough. There are a million pieces and the surface probably dosn't hold a coat of paint well.

I would think NO as the veneer typically will not hold paint well. But if you know more about paint that I, maybe.

I was told by a few different sellers you could, but I have to tell you the instructions are difficult at best. You really need to have your thinking cap on to reverse the corner pieces properly. Hope the others seller were correct. Good Luck! Its really a nice desk.

Mine was actually of a greenish tint. Which didn't matter to me as I painted all of my pieces in this collection (desk, chair, console table and file cabinet) pure white. I didn't paint the stained surfaces though

The way most of his prefabricated pieces are designed is generally for what you see in the picture. However, by drilling four small pilot holes on the reverse side it could easily be transformed. In fact, I was in the process of doing the very same thing until I realized in the long run the pictured setup was best for me. It is a very sturdy desk. Have fun!

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

Sorry I cannot give a definitive answer since I haven't tried to paint it. It is lighter than the picture shows, however, it is an attractive piece. As we know, for perfection and having it exactly was we want, you have to pay. Price is right for this one. I also don't know much about paints. I believe it is doable but would have to gently take the top finish off. It may take a little effort but again cannot make any guarantees. Hope that was somewhat helpful.

You probably don't want to do that. Its really unstable when its in 2 pieces. There are much better desks that are meant to be one wall pieces. Not a great buy. Very cheap material

i would guess that you could sand, primer and paint it. It is made of a very shiny PVC that looks great, but if white isn't your color....

Hi Luke, Thank you for contacting Way Basics! Storage Cube is available in White color. We have 9 colors available for this product. Also, our products are paintable, but you will need to prepare the surface first before doing so. Make sure the surface is dry and free of any dust or other material that may hinder the adhesion of the paint. It will also be necessary to use a primer on the surface before painting to assure you get the best possible result. Because our products are water resistant, painting directly on the boards without a primer will create the paint to "bead up" similar to what may happen if water comes into contact with the surface. When choosing a primer, we recommend using a product that will bond to surfaces such as paper, formica or a similar nonporous material. As long as you use a good primer, you will be able to use a water based paint and paint the product to your liking. Please note that painting Way Basics products is at your own risk with no returns or exchanges. Jimmy Chiang Way Basics, Founder jimmy@waybasics.com

We used a stain on ours so you could certainly paint one. We used the stain before assembling it so it was easy.

Yes. A white ivory color. I am told you can paint over it but have never tried.

Sorry, mine is on an old dark wood dresser -- but having seen them I think they could work on white. They are kind of small, just shy of an inch, but very pretty!

Since it come unassembled, you could paint the white parts easily. BTW assembly is quick and easy, less than 10 minutes.

Probably. We wanted it bright white to match the trim and contrast the caribbean blue on the upper walls. Try it both ways on a small piece before you hang it to see what you like best.

That should work just fine! It's solid black on the back. I LOVE my desk!! Just be very careful when putting it together. My husband slipped with the drill and it took a good chunk out of the wood board. I just used a black and brown sharpie to color in where the wood board chipped away.ALSO......it took HOURS to put this desk together! It comes in 3 boxes and took roughly 7 hours! It was worth the wait. It's a beautiful desk! Hope this helps :)
