[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 289346, member: 85"]You could put a piece of wood on the back of the open back, then try to match the stain. Or You could cut a piece of cardboard a little larger than the hole, cover with a brocade or silk fabric, then staple to the back of the cupboard. The etagere that I have - the inside cupboards are lined in what was once a yellow silk, now faded. Or You could just leave it open. As for the instability. What does it mean the top lifts off? The whole top with the mirrors? When we moved, my husband took the mirrored back off of mine. The spindles in front should have a screw top and bottom, and the back should be screwed on. Hopefully yours is just a matter of tightening it up. Lovely piece.[/QUOTE]
