How can I remove plastic fronts from old furniture?

what about painting and glazing over it to give t old world look?? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/285134220130842640/ If not you'll probably be able to pop it off with sturdy putty knife and hammer https://www.hunker.com/12461533/tips-on-removing-plastic-laminate-from-a-table-or-desk

I read that a lot of companies use a contact cement to bond the pieces together so I'm not sure how easy it would be to remove. You might also damage the wood underneath in the process. I think the color of the drawer is unpleasing, but with some good coats of paint, I think the design could look really cool.

I am actually old enough to have owned one of these when I was a teenager. You're not going to pop that puppy off! And the stuff underneath is most likely a press board not ply or actually wood. Have a think about filling in the pattern with some wood putty, sanding it flat and then creating your design (however you're planning to) with whatever materials you want.

As others have mentioned, it's not likely that you'll be able to remove the designs, but maybe you could cover them with a veneer, a textured paintable wallpaper, a paintable beadboard wallpaper, or something like that. I think that design might look amazing if you painted and distressed it. I can picture it in an antique white chalk paint with some dark wax in all of the nooks and crannies.
