Rolling table with cheap veneered probably particle board. I'm using this table to test the product before I go big and cover the range vent and construct a faux stainless flute. I've seen prices of $900 and up for ones I like.
Clean surface and if not absolutely smooth, then take a 400 grit sand paper as I did to give perfect surface prep.
I found this on on the road and love great multipurpose rolling tables. This one had only 3 horizontal braces near the base, so you can pull a chair all the way up for eating, computer use, etc.
Go for it. Some adjustability is required to remove and smooth if you get creases or bubbles. I recommend unrolling slowly and smoothing while pealing paper because it's a very tacky surface.
This is the first brand I have tried. I would like to try the reusable kind I found in a YouTube video to compare.
New stainless top looks awesome!! Corners and edges are harder. Cut to over lap or cut out to make flush.
I prepped an end table last night to update and will use stainless for top and front panels. Will post finished product if interested then I will design my vent hood. Has anyone used different brands or the reusable type?
Enjoyed the project?
