I'm not sure this product would be what you want, this has a paper backing I used it to reface cabinets where there won't be much contact but had new doors and end panels installed. I also just used a wipe on poly nothing brushed on to soak thru veneer I think that might ripple the surface. Hope this is helpful.

It would work but you would have to put a thick clear coat on top, corners are hard to manage unless you have some sort of trim on the sides

Great product,would apply with contact cement . I had refinished cabinets and the time and work was worth it.YouTube has some good video of the process. Good luck.

Just a little longer than the table is wide if I rember correctly. I only used it once because it fell apart. The particle board desk top crumbles with you screw it to the legs. If you get it, plan to cut a piece of plywood to the size of the desktop and screw the legs into that. That's what I intend to do.

You'll probably want to clear everything off the table to adjust it. The top is heavy. Not something you would want to do on a daily basis.

I'm sure you could paint this table. I would suggest sanding it a bit, and maybe even using a primer. There is not a thick polyurethane seal on it, so a light sanding would do.

Another idea if you are like me and hate how the plastic top of those folding desks feel; I got a couple of DeWalt adjustable height sawhorses (http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-Adjustable-Metal-Legs-Sawhorse-DWST11031/203040645) and then you can choose your top from any material and whatever length. I used a 2' x 4' melamine board and the whole thing is plenty sturdy and looks a bit better than those ugly desks. Here's my setup (http://i.imgur.com/NGaC0SH.jpg). You could stain a nice dark slab of wood for the top and it would look even better.

I made an insert to fit into the side of my Ridgid 4510 table saw out of phenolic plywood and a Kreg Router Insert. While I wouldn't use it for making heirloom furniture, it sets up and breaks down fast and works great on the job site.

I found my matching end table from a website called Humble Abode. That was over 2 years ago, though. I recall just doing a google search and finding the table that way. It's the same brand and beautiful. The table was $175.

Mine was also a medium oak color, there was no other choice. The color worked out great for me, love the table!!

If the wood is not smooth or if it has any peeling or splinters it would be best to sand it down to where it was smooth. Otherwise the new stuff would just peel, too.

I would recommend a 1x2 wood that you can construction adhesive to the bottom of your desk and then screw the sides into it.

That is a very lg area, I would use cedar cork or certainly something thicker than the very thin veneer I purchasrd

I'm planning on getting cheap plywood or foam from a hardware store and using either spray tacky glue or modge podge to "mount" it. I'm going to paint the edges of the plywood or foam with craft paint and buy it about a half inch larger than the print for a small border. There are a lot of DIY websites with these projects that look great.

It is a sealer style of paint that dries hard so I think you could use it over old wood. Make sure there is no grease on the wood or the old paint. It is generally clear or light colored depending on whether you buy clear or "Orange". Do remember that shellac turns white if it gets wet. So it is not a good bar top surface. For the tray you would need something more water proof.

I am not sure what wood was used for the top of this table, but it did not appear to be hardwood like maybe oak or maple, and I remember reading a previous evaluation of the table saying that the wood seemed rather soft. Having said that, it did not seem soft to me and has so far held up well.

Wooden Table or any other table would be fine.. Best to have it elevated for ease of use.

The table surface top is round. The edge height does vary to allow the legs to fold for storage. I think you could use a glass topper. Would be a great way to display photos or other mementos.
