<p>[QUOTE="Rayo56, post: 3857252, member: 2022"]I would suggest taking the top off the dresser then working on it - much easier to be moving it around. Pull the drawers so you can get into it - there should just be screws holding it on from the inside. Looks plywood so check the glue joints and if any swelling from being outside. I don't know about others but I would just paint - easier to cover up the ply lines. A trick I have learned before paint is smear the plywood lamination lines with joint compound to fill them in and then sand with very fine sandpaper to smooth it out - prime then paint[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
