Who the heck is Brian? what does this have to do with anything? Anyways I have a painter over and just out of curiosity, he did verify its made out of MDF Wood, it was coloured by some kind of stain that soaked into the fibres really deep, and his advice was to remove the glass door, and sand it with 200 then 500 grit sand paper, it would take about an hour to get it fully sanded, then to put a furnature paint with an acrilic seal on it. He said lots of people are re-painting furnature lately, instead of replacing it, I can see why, but there is not a lot of people who are cornering that market which makes painters more busy lately.
