    That rounded edge 80s style of furniture always remind me of a hotel dresser, without draw pulls etc. It also reminds me of baby nursery furniture, all it needs is the changing table attachment for the top.

    I really liked the green color. I was thinking maybe you should paint it green all over, but I do like the black a lot. The only thing I kept seeing was some bling, jewelry.....like gold or brass hardware I think would look great and help it sell. That said, I really like the legs. Good job! I enjoy watching your videos. 😊

      I agree @grace matters, perhaps the top of the drawers should be raw wood to match the new base, or gold accents as you said. Its lovely work and I too love watching the toobs.

    Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included th-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

    It takes so much math to be able to refinish/refurbish furniture so that it can show in the end as you do. I see you and everything that you do to make a piece look the ways it does. It involves not only math, but the chemistry knowledge of different finishes, etc and how to meld all of that together. Kudos to your extensive experience, knowledge, and patience in this field!!! Girl power!

    I liked the green but thought the wood was too light. If it was stained a chestnut color I think it would have worked well.

    Looks better with the addition of the legs. Good job on the paint too. Because of the design, it ages itself, but it looks great.I’ve seen some comments to add pulls, but I’d take a leaf from Kacha’s book & add a bit of gold to each of the drawers to break the color up a bit.

    Just my personal preference:
    I probably would have stuck with the green family, maybe in the more neutral sage color and then
    added stain to the top and base that was a little darker than what you have to give it a more neutral color combo.
    That’s just my opinion.
    Let us know how soon it sells.

    No pulls! My daughter has that style furniture and if you put polls on it, it will look very odd. I think the legs should be those mid modern spindles type. With the plastic or metal slides. Did you put slides on the bottom of the new base.? If not, I would recommend that you do so so the wood doesn’t scratch a floor or chip/shred the wood legs when moving.
