    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.

    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.

    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.
    I like the black with the new base but also think the base could use a color stain to lessen the contrast but I’m sure it will sell now!

    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 ua-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.
