Dressing table looks pathetic!!
I bought this dressing table online without considering the height. I was more concerned about the depth as I want wardrobes on the opposite wall. I've now been refunded because of several flaws (e.g.sellotape holding down an area I've glued!) and told to keep or discard it
So I went ahead and put it together anyway and tried it in the room but at 73cm high I feel it looks like a child's piece of furniture, even though I've googled and it's, only an inch or so shorter than most others?? I'll probably give it away and start looking for something else but wondered if brass castors would elevate it and make it 'do' in the meantime?

Window dressing ideas please!
Comments (9)Hiya, This looks like an exciting development for you - I bet you can't wait to get sorted! As for the windows and door, I think it's probably best to dress them separately as there is a sizeable gap between them: you don't want your room to feel like it is encompassed by blinds or curtains. Floor length curtains are a great way to achieve a sumptuous look, and as headers13 said, lots of people do feel short curtains feel unfinished. There are a few options I'd suggest. From what I can tell your windows and doors are uPVC. If this is the case, there is a system called PerfectFit available, where Venetian, Pleated or Roller blinds sit within a discreet frame, and literally clip into your windows with no need for drilling. You can even open your windows with them down, and they don't flap in the wind. This creates a really neat look, and will allow you to easy dress your windows and door separately. Of course, you might like to layer dress curtains over the top of the windows. Alternatively, two Roller or Roman blinds, one on each window, would finish the room off beautifully. There are loads of designs available, and you could have a separate one for your door. You could also go for a combination of blinds and curtains - perhaps curtains at the window for a sumptuous look, with a simple blind that won't get in the way too much at the door. Hope there's some food for thought in there for you, Zoe....See MoreDressing a black console table
Comments (2)We need much more information. How big is it? Where will it be located? Is there power near it so you can put a lamp on it? What's your style? Pictures would help a lot too....See MoreMeridew 1960s dressing table
Comments (14)No probs Claire. Quick search on google and found this which should hopefully help you: https://www.diypassion.com/2017/08/30/the-trick-to-removing-veneer-from-wood-furniture/ After some more research the cracked lines is something called checking which you sometimes get when when veneer is laid on top of wood where the grain is running in the same direction. Just my theory but exposure to heat (next to a sunny window for eg.) or humidity would cause the wood underneath to swell and contract more and over the years that movement would cause the veneer to lift crack and bubble. Although looking at the photos again I wonder if its been coated in some sort of resin. Either way you would need heat to remove it. Best of luck and hope all goes well.

3 years agoI have a similar, but even smaller, dressing table as space was tight in my bedroom. Just a cheapie from the Houzz shop. I think you’ll find once the room is dressed and furnished it will look great. Here’s mine but please excuse picture quality but it’s a north East facing room that gets quite gloomy by late afternoon!
