    BTW, Angie, I never told you, you helped me repair the mirror glass sliding closet doors in our kid's condo. When she moved in, the mirror was nearly completely separated from the metal door framing. She liked the doors (we discussed just removing it altogether and putting up a curtain), so to try to save them, I got some clear liquid nails that said it could be used on mirror. Problem was how to hold it in place to make sure it would stay in place and cure. I knew clamps were likely to break the mirror and after puzzling on it a bit, I flashed back on what you do to make sure veneer adhere. I used a ton of painters tape, and kept it in place for 48 hours. It was perfect, and 2 years later it is still working well. So, thank you!

Where you said it’s really a plain piece, the trim above the lower drawer caught my eye in the before images. The final reveal highlights its hidden beauty. Love the mahogany bow-tie style veneer insert on the front panel. Totally gorgeous.
