Uniflex Drawers

Restoration of veneer on mid-century Uniflex drawers

 

Restoration: Uniflex Drawers

There are a few dents to the front of the drawers but the top of this lovely piece has been damaged over time. The aim was to strip this back, and apply an authentic, sleek, 60s finish.

With lots of gentle sanding of the veneer and then many coats of oil to protect it, the stylish mid-century piece is brought back to life.
