Painting "this end up" furniture
I have this end up furniture that my now husband bought in the 90's. Its solid wood but not very pretty. It seems to have a clear coat over the wood. I want to paint it but am unsure if I need to sand or if I can just prime and then use a paint for furniture. Has anyone ever painted this type of furniture? I added some pics from their website so you can get idea of what I have. Thanks

What about painting over the lacquer if it’s going on a screened in back porch? Will it hold up in the moisture when it rains? It’s covered but it gets humid and sticky... suggestions?
Love this couch! What color were you thinking of painting it?
Sanded lightly, painted each board a different color of paint I had left from other projects (4 colors). Then distressed it. I love it and always get complements on it.

I watered down my Behr Premium Ultra, and gave my This End Up furniture 4 thin coats. No sanding required.
Why paint?
It covers the beautiful grains. Why not use colored stain, and or take a blowtorch to the grain and have it pop the grains out? I found the coffee table for $20 and the end table in the garbage a year later. "This End Up" furniture is the best to refinish because it's quality and looks amazing with stains and polyurethane.
