How do I fix worn-off spots on top of a computer desk/cabinet i.e.?

Hi Glenna, What is the material?

Glenna...You can always sand then paint, use napkins, etc. and mod podge or contact paper will work. Good luck!

Glenna,

If you have furniture that has a faux wood grain plastic veneer, there is really no easy way to fix it. You could try sanding the area smooth, coating with a bonding primer, and then trying to repaint the area in a wood grain color and pattern to match. You could also try covering the entire surface with a thin piece of plywood and stain it to match. The most extreme fix would be to re-veneer the whole surface.

I have the same problem on my old computer desk. I was thinking of painting it black to cover/hide the worn areas. Figured this was easiest way to go. I already have the black paint so it wont cost me anything. black hides everything and will go with the neutral décor of the bedroom. The computer is gone now but I still use it as a desk and now that the desk top is exposed with the computer being gone I need to touch the worn areas up. Id say to paint it and if you don't like the way it comes out then cover it with contact paper.
