Can you paint this desk?

My opinion is that you can paint anything. Having said that, some things take more effort than others. This would be one of those. Since the surfaces are laminate smooth, I think you would need to start with a good coat of primer and then go from there.

I would ask someone from the paint store. This has a different finish than a normal wood desk (veneer that is plastic like). I do refinishing on small projects and I wouldn't try it without asking the paint guy for a special paint.

I don't think so. It has a veneer finish which I don't think you can sand in order for the paint to adhere. I'm not a big DIY person so maybe someone else has a better opinion.

Yes but I would sand it first. Don't see why you couldn't paint it. It's a great cabinet I'm very happy with it

You can spray paint it for sure, but you might want to take it to the hardware store and make sure you get the correct type of paint for it.

Yes... as it's not real wood, it has a wood stain photo finish (Examples here https://www.google.com/search?q=wood+photo+finish&rlz;=1T4GGNI_enUS570US570&tbm;=isch&tbo;=u&source;=univ&sa;=X&ei;=YJdRU9_6Kbi_sQTGgIKQBA&ved;=0CCcQsAQ&biw;=1536&bih;=702)... looks just like the side you see in the photo. By the way, it's a great desk for the price... I think you'll be pleased with it.

I wouldn't hesitate to paint it. If in doubt, scuff a bit with sandpaper first.

Don't see why not. The furniture comes unassembled, so that would be the time to paint. The two drawers on the bottom right have five narrow vertical grooves that might be tough to get to look good.

Yes, the back of the desk is as finished as its front and, on my opinion, is suitable for display. The desk is uniformly finished.

yes and if u still not sure you could build it(bed) with the desk already inside of course u might want to cover the desk with something for protection

I would guess yes, it can be painted. It's a good stand, and works great, even in our windy conditions.

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.

The desk is very dark and probably would not match your cherry pieces. Still, it's a very pretty desk and we love ours!

Yes, all sides are painted. I love the style of this desk but it is not very sturdy. My desk is just used for show as it is not practical for everyday use.

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 have not tried painting mine but based on the material you probably could. I would definitely give it a good sanding first to help remove the gloss (coating?) and use paint or primer that has some tackiness to it. Hope that helps.

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 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.

I'm not an expert but I think you could paint it if you sanded it first. I don't think you can stain it
