Can this table be painted? Just not sure if the paint would "stick" if it has a stain on it already.

I don't think it could be painted unless you sanded off the finish. The stain is very durable. We have really enjoyed this table this summer and would recommend it.

I wouldn't paint it because it is a kind of oily wood. If you want you can probably put an oil based stain on it and they come in lots of colors.

I'm sure you could paint this table. I would suggest sanding it a bit, and maybe even using a primer. There is not a thick polyurethane seal on it, so a light sanding would do.

This is a particle board material w/laminate top layer. Doubtful paint would do we, unless a painter friend of yours knows of something. Perhaps contact paper????? I don't know

it's wood veneer with matt finish. yes you can paint, The question is why? the beautify wood look finished. may be look for set that come with color finished, may be cheaper.

Yes, it can be painted, but it should be abraded/primed so that it will accept & hold the paint without flaking.

Yes, it should be paintable (that's a word now), but just know that you may have to do some drilling of your own for the screws for the doors. I had to drill the insides of the cabinet myself for the doors to fit on because the holes drilled by the manufacturer were set too far into the frame. Looks decent, but the work is a bit chintzy.

Yes it is unfinished . It can be painted or stained. I stained mine and it looks great!

Hi K, unfortunately it's not real wood. It's a pressed wood with a veneer finish, so you couldn't stain it. It was actually good you asked just now, my contractor who is building cabinetry in my family room is here and I took it in to ask him. He said if you like it that much you could find the assembly plans and have it custom made because its such a simple design. I don't know what kind of price he was talking though, or if you're that interested in it. Please let me know if I can answer anymore questions for you.

It's a raw wood color that can be painted or stained. However it does not have a wood grain. If staining maybe use Minwax Gel since that can be used on almost any surface. This is a hard rubber type material so it can be molded to fit any shape. You can stain before or after installation but before is probably best with touchup after. It can be nailed or installed with adhesive. Hope that helps.

I think you could paint it, with a primer. It's a little like veneer, so paint might not go on well by itself. It's a sturdy unit, but dings and chips easily. A good strong paint would improve it a lot.

The wood grain is a vinyl coating to trying to apply a stain would be an exercise in futility, you'd be better off just painting it with a flat black satin paint. Maybe do a little sanding to it first

In my opinion it will not sand well or hold stain. Possibly would be able to paint, but would require roughing up or putting a primer coat first. Not really wood. It is an ok piece if it it not going to be highly used. Will not hold up to high use. Just my opinion

Yes - it is finished in a medium wood stain all around the table. This is a great table for the price!

I think it can be painted, however this furniture is made out of cheap cardboard that crumbles when you try to assemble the pieces.

Yes, it can be painted. Must be good paint with a clear coat over, otherwise it will chip easily.

It's not made of the cheapie plywood or particle board. I don't think you could paint it; but the contact paper or similar could be used. They are really nice and sturdy.

Hi hba864, As long as you were comfortable sitting while you paint. It is designed to be a light duty drafting table. I used this table to hold a heavy old style computer and it had no issues. Painting should be fine!

Not really sure, but I'd imagine if you had the right kind of paint, you probably could...seems like you can paint anything these days. Seems like the crafty websites love to use spray paint for a lot of old furniture, but I don't know if you need a primer (this is assuming you're looking to paint the entire unit). Maybe Better Homes and Gardens, or some other DIY site may have some insight on painting particle board furniture. If you're actually only looking to paint designs on the piece, you might consider painting a little spot on the inside of the unit, or some other inconspicuous spot, to test it out first before committing. Good luck!
