<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 113103, member: 37"]Mengel is medium to low range quality furniture. Some of their stuff from the fifties is pretty good. By the 60s, the quality had declined a bit. I would think your chest is from the late 50s or 60s in a "pickled" finish. These are good candidates for paint. Just be sure to prepare the surface well. If the top is formica, you will need to sand it and use a spray paint suitable for plastic on it rather than latex.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
