I have one just like it and it has a bit of the "gloss" or top coat of some kind to it so I was thinking or just priming it and them painting it a coat or two of white paint. Wasn't sure if I needed to sand it first or not since I'll be priming? Or maybe I don't need to prime at all??? Also, what top coat do you use?bridget1018https://www.blogger.com/profile/17960502408161518906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702836453873891078.post-38936823915227852402014-11-15T18:32:20.515-08:002014-11-15T18:32:20.515-08:00Just curious...how did you attach the table top to...Just curious...how did you attach the table top to the filing cabinets?rose.mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068022118395710179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702836453873891078.post-15328618083439265672014-08-28T01:41:56.807-07:002014-08-28T01:41:56.807-07:00Thanks for your blog.
