Dresser Glow Up: Trying to Make Laminate Furniture Look & Feel High End

In this video, I'm taking a piece that had already been refinished and giving it a sophisticated glow up.

This one I know will be a bit controversial.
I decided to turn this one into an experiment, and see if I could squeak a high end finish using pro products on the subpar wood drawer faces, and give a similar (but different, lol) paint finish on the laminate outer shell. It turned out "okay".. I wasn't over the moon with it personally, but it was still a fun project.

When I posted the before photo of this piece on my community feed, many viewers stated they liked it the way it was. But my literal job is taking things that are damaged, discarded, or just not selling, and giving them new looks so that, once again, they are loved items. This piece was on FB marketplace for quite some time. Not because it was bad, but I think it was just very specific... the colour scheme would only appeal to certain folks. Because so many of you loved the green, I decided to use a similar colour but applied in a different way, and topped it with a dark wax to mimic (in a way) the sort of "grunge" feel that it had previously.
