I'd like this to match some glossy white shelves but it looks kind of stippled. Could I paint them with glossy paint?

you can ask this question at www.waybasic.com they have a live chat. I do not think you can because it says on their site..keep from getting wet. I think the material will absorb water base paint. On their site they have other colors, so check to see if a glossier white is there.

Not it's not finished but most of the bare particle board is covered by the cardboard backing that you nail to it. You could probably paint it to make it less noticeable.

I wouldn't unless you painted the maple top with a durable outdoor type paint. The legs and shelf are galvanized metal which could tolerate outdoor use.

The top and bottom tiers could possibly be used separately but there are no plastic caps for the legs of the top tier, and the top tier connects to the bottom by small posts protruding from the top of the bottom shelf, so those posts would still be sticking up. The shelves are small and flimsy. I painted mine to make it look better, and am thinking about gluing the top to the bottom shelf because they come apart too easily.

well, I haven't tried it ,but maybe gluing on the understand strips of flat wood. They probably sell something like that at Michaels, Joann's, or Hobby Lobby. Good luck!

I wouldn't risk the finish. I used them on cardboard boxes. The backing is like that of address labels.

You can use bookends or weighted decor...I love the shelf... It was the perfect size for my space ...

I ended up returning it due to the shelf not adjusting vertically, but I believe that the wood was sanded with perhaps a light layer of lacquer. There certainly wasn't much color to it.

I have spray painted a shelving system similar to this. However... I painted it with a primer first... This allowed the spray paint to stick. Not sure it's worth the effort to buy a new one for this purpose... but I was re-purposing an old bookshelf... so it worked for me.

Hopefully this will help someone. I bought this to match my true white headboard/bed frame I bought from Rooms to Go (Belmar, if you want to look at website). It is NOT a perfect match and NOT a true pure white. Its the slightest bit more cream/yellow but I'm still very happy with it because the difference is very slight. It may even just be the gloss finish that makes it look different. I will try to add a picture!

I would likely use Minwax or polyurethane, both in the paint dept. of Home Depot, or could get through Amazon. Polyurethane will give you a higher gloss finish.Why I used this >> was to stain kitchen and bath cabinets darker that were '80's oak'. I then used this topcoat over the base gel stain.

Sure, why not. The finish is not gloss so you might be able to find a paint that you can use without sanding it. However the best way would be do a light sand, paint with primer and then apply the finish coat.

Yes, but a matte finish, not any kind of gloss. The real trouble I encountered was in the assembly. You essentially build two halves, but getting and keeping them together goes way beyond the instructions.

It is high gloss so you would have to sand it in order to paint it. If you have the time and want a specific look you cannot find else where than it may be worth the work.

If you have the glossy finish I would use a gentle metal polish-- ask your hardware merchant. If you have the matte finish I don't know. Again, ask your hardware merchant.Regards,David

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....

You might need to sand it. Check with local paint store, test it on one of the support bars at the bottom
