Video Description
This vintage beast of a dresser was a labor of love! With its bold checkerboard design and intricate brutalist details, it’s one of the most unique pieces I’ve ever refinished — and one of the most challenging. From veneer bubbling and wood repairs to a third attempt at re-veneering the top, this makeover was a true test of patience and persistence. If you love detailed refinishing projects, brutalist furniture, or just want to see how a wreck turns into a showstopper, this one’s for you.
