Mid Century Modern Restoration on Dresser....



This was the matching mid century dresser that 
went with the previous highboy dresser and single nightstand we 
also restored last week.
Although, both of those sold already.
Anyway, here is the before on this vintage mcm
made by United Furniture.
It had lots of wear on top.




John stripped it all down.  We also stripped the wood handles too.


I stained it all in dark walnut.







Sealed in a semi gloss sheen.







SOLD!

Vintage United Mid Century Modern Dresser Restored...



I could've listed this as is if it didn't have so much
damage and wear.
Before above, it looks good from the pictures.


Top looked like they tried to sand it down but 
sanded it wrong.  See the scraps going horizontal. 
The top back edge needed veneer repair we had to fill that in.  


Two of the interior middle drawer bottoms 
where thin a brittle.  


See the top looked bad.


We repaired everything, added new interior drawer bottoms to 
the middle drawers.  
Then stripped everything.





Removed the wood handles. Stripped those.



Added a new wood back.  The old back was worn.


I stained it all in dark walnut.












Sealed everything in a semi gloss sprayed sealer.


I even stained the back and sealed that also.
I don't usually do this but I it was a new board.
