When it ripped off, it looked as thin as tape. The huge problem is that it happened in a ton of different spots so we probably won't be able to do spot treatments b/c our furiture will look like a dalmatian haha! So I think it needs to be a change to the entire set. I saw a few tutorials to repaint it. One idea was to lightly sand off the laminate and then do the primer, paint etc. The other tutorial suggested a product called "Zinsser cover stain primer" and you can skip the sanding step. I'm cautious to try this, but I will and I'll let everyone know how it turns out! Thank you again!
