Love this piece and the size is perfect, but how hard would it be to paint the wood gold?

There are a lot of "inlaid" type mirrors with a lot of raised edges where the wood and the mirrors meet. After sanding and taping, I suppose it could be done but it would be VERY tedious and, not knowing the quality of the wood under the silver paint, once sanded, it might not look like you want.

I feel like it would definitely be possible, however very tedious. If you're up for the challenge I say why not.

I love this piece as well, but I am not quite sure how hard it would be to paint it gold. If you use a primer it may not be hard, but you will no longer have the mirrored look.

I don't see a problem with the pain adhering to the surface however trying to get the entire surface covered, especially the spaces between the mirror and the "wood" surfaces may be very difficult and could leave some silver paint exposed. Fyi- the material is not wood. The entire cabinet is made of medium density partial board. It's is not made of wood. The cabinet looks great but is made of poor quality materials and the craftsmanship is horrible. I almost returned mine because it was falling apart out of the crate, but Amazon gave me a full refund after having problems with seller.

If your a perfectionist and know what your doing... I guess it would not be too bad. You would have to really cover all the mirrors well before painting.

Karen. I hate to say this but I hate to return this piece of furniture because it was so poorly built. I would say that if you could get it put together you would not be happy with staining it. It's a nice rustic green and I think if you tried to stain it it would end up almost black. You would be better off painting it I would think. Good luck!

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.

I don't see any reason why it couldn't be painted. The wood is smooth, but I don't think it would need to be sanded before painting it. I didn't paint the ones I bought, but that was by choice. Hope that helps.

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

This cabinet is wood veneer, so it probably cannot be repainted. It is however very beautiful--nice cherry wood appearance. It looks great in my living room, and is much more pleasing to the eye than a metal file cabinet.

You could definitely paint the box. The finish in it isn't so heavy (varnish) that the paint wouldn't stick. I actually think that it would be a nice finish if part of the wood was exposed in some spots. Good luck!

It is not that light it is a darker oak and I dont think you could paint it but if you use a stripper maybe

It is not real wood. I imagine if you research how to refinish MDF you could repaint it.

The color is very close. It would thinking painting would work if you sand the finish sufficiently before assembly.... Sounds like a lot of work though.

Not easily. It's a clear hard satin finish over stained wood. You'd have to sand it lightly to get any paint to cover well.

I would not recommend painting it. The veneer finish is very smooth. It would not hold paint very well.

Not sure if it's "wood", but it's definitely painted so I would believe you could easily paint over it. Side note: I have had this for a few months now and it gets heavy use and abuse as we keep a lot of daily used item on it and it has held up very well thus far. Still very happy with this purchase.

It should be pretty easy to paint, since it is wood. I would start with a good primer, though. The glass is held in with black rubber moulding, which probably cannot be painted. It should not be visible when the doors are closed, though.

My husband assembled it, don't think it was difficult, just takes a while. Just make sure you have all the right tools & you should be fine. I don't have instructions, if not I would pass them down to you. You won't be sorry if you buy this piece, looks great for the price!

There is a fair amount of assembly that will take you some time, but it is not too bad considering the size of the unit. The piece is so nice that it is well worth the effort. We have been very happy with it. Since it is real wood, it is heavy. I would suggest putting it together near where it will sit.

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