DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE PAPER COVERING. The "wood" underneath may be particle board or MDF and you may not be able to get it all off. Just lightly sand to remove any gloss and a tooth for paint. Wipe it down, prime with KILZ or BIN, then paint your color on.

Ditto! No need to remove the "paper". Just rough it up a little with sand paper and then a quality primer before your finish coats. Good luck!

I recently painted a piece of laminated furniture. After some light sanding, I first primed it with a coat of chalk paint (close to the color I wanted to paint it.) It worked out nicely. I agree, do not remove particle board.
