MCM Dresser Makeover / This Was SUCH a Good Find! Furniture Restoration - Repair - Refinishing

Hey guys! Follow along to see how I make over this old MCM dresser that I found on Facebook Marketplace. We'll show you how we prep the piece, remove the existing finish using chemical stripper, sand down the wood, do veneer repairs, and finally, finish the walnut to really make it shine. I've got some good DIY tips and tricks in the video so I hope you’ll find them helpful. This furniture makeover definitely came with its challenges, but it was sure rewarding. I loved it so much that we had to keep it for ourselves! Products and tools I use or talk about in this video will be listed below :)
