I have a chipped and peeling laminated nightstand top, otherwise the nightstand is perfectly fine. Can anyone recommend a quick fix?
A picture would be very helpful so we could see what you are working with.
Build a base for it to sit on to make it taller if that is what you need.
Better to add to bottom, than at top. Take off old kegs and add a nice base. Depending how much talker you need could apply baseboard to base for a more finished look.
Karen,
Does it need to be the exact dimensions of the night table? Since it will be hard to match the existing stain, use something complimentary. Look for night table/dresser organizer drawers or look for a small decorative crate or storage box.
You could get a thickish piece of wood and have the edges beveled on 3 sides then attach on top. I did this to raise and slightly enlarge an existing mantle. My mantle was painted white though so it was easy to paint it all to match.
