The stuff on the floor is actually bits of foam peanuts from something else. The stuffing would have been that awful yellow powder from the crunchy latex!
Thanks, Riki. Once I got the dirty stuff off, it was pretty fun to work on. I did another one later but it wasn't quite as dramatic.

Nice work,
Spanky. It's a great-looking chair -- now !
I detected the red-and-green tints in that desk, which always makes me think of cherry. Admittedly, those subtle tones don't always make it through even a clear finish . . .
The wild grain in just one drawer front, and one end of the top, led me to think it might have been painted. The photo of another uncolored one settles my mind on that fantasy. Many manufacturers couldn't make it if they rejected every odd piece of wood -- I guess ?

Is the new paints?
I felt its shape did not change,and use new paint.

yes, it has been painted..
color from the 'solid woods' series.

Are you talking about the Knoll desk?
I don't understand the last two posts. Are you referring to the Knoll desk and SDR's suggestion that it might have been originally painted? If so, please say more.
