bedroom set parts image
v.e.n.d.e.
Re-finishing the top of a dresser. Sanded thru the veneer. Anything I could do to get it looking right again? It's part of a matching bedroom set so it needs to look good.
Answer
Well, with a lot of patience and some artistic talent... it can be painted to match, but you have to have a good set of tints, and know what youre doing.
Your best bet will probably be to put new veneer on the piece. You can find several species and all the supplies/tools at Rockler

And then you can stain the new piece to match the existing work. That will probably be easier than trying to create a faux finish if youve never done it before.
Your other option is to send it to a furniture repair shop.

Somebody please tell me the pros and cons of having particle board furniture in your home.?

I found a really nice bedroom set that is made of particle board. I've only owned real wood furniture but I love this bedroom set that I've found. What are the pros and cons of having particle board furniture in your home?
Answer
Particle board is not as strong as real wood. The laminate that they use to cover the particle board scratches and chips easily. Underneath the laminate does not look good, so when you scratch the laminate you will see the ugly particle board underneath it.
The pros of particle board are that it is cheaper than real wood. It is usually lighter that real wood. Finally, we have a particle board bedroom set. We've been waiting for all the negatives to appear on our bedroom set. We've been waiting for 7 years! We've moved 5 times. Our bedroom set has gone up and down 3 flights of stairs by movers and friends. We dont take very good care of it, and it has lasted forever. We're really sick of our bedroom set, but it just wont go bad. The worst that has happened is that one of the bottom drawers cracked. The part was actually thin solid wood. We have a few scratches, but nothing major. Good luck with whatever you choose.
