I appreciate everyone's input,
I am going to keep the boxes and replace the veneer.
David, did you just rough up the veneer or did you sand it down along with the adhesive?
I have been reading and there seems to be two popular veneer types, paper-backed and non. The paper-back is suppose to be more user-friendly, but I didn't know if anyone had any experience with either.
Is there anywere good to buy veneer? I would like to see it before I buy it, but that may be out of my control. I know a home depot or lowes would not have it.
I am getting excited now, if I only I didn't have all these finals to worry about...
