I am looking to buy this to paint it a different color. Is the antique finish very textured or rough?

No it's more of a smooth surface. Just an F.Y.I it is not made of solid wood, it is made of particle board. It is a very nice piece but just thought you should be aware.

It is very smooth, I think it could be painted but it is particle board not solid wood. It is well made & looks like solid wood, I am very happy with it & got 2 of the bookcases to match it. Quite time consuming to put together, lots of small pieces but my husband & I did it in a couple hours. Good luck.

It is smooth. I do not know anything about painting, but I think it might be difficult. No texture to it though.

no it looks like it easily could be painted once you finally put it together which is a long process to put it politely

Definitely darker than antique brass. ORB is very dark / black w just a hint of light finish along the edges

I used the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover (Paint+Primer). Scuffed lightly with 220 grit (knock down the ridge from the molding line if necessary), started with a light coat, let it dry well (2hrs) and followed with 2 medium coats. Looks ok for me.

I wouldn't hesitate to paint it. If in doubt, scuff a bit with sandpaper first.

I would not recommend painting it. The veneer finish is very smooth. It would not hold paint very well.

I don't know kinds of rood that well. It is a very hard, smooth, knot and blemish free wood. Perfect for a stain or varnish finish. I needed to spray paint it black for where I needed it, but seemed a shame for such a nice piece.

it is not smooth, there's a slight bit of texture to it similar to medium to fine grit sandpaper. Hope that helps!

I have not used it on antique furniture but the compound has wood fibers in it which should take a water-based wood dye in order to make it blend with the original finish. On antique furniture I either replace the wood in kind or use burn-in stick shellac to fill small holes and cracks. This is a wonderful product and performs as advertised. I used it to restore fretwork on an 1892 Queen Ann house with excellent results. Of course I painted over the repairs which now cannot be seen. For painted antique furniture this would be excellent. By the way, it's final color when hardened is a light tan.

No, it is smooth. I see some responses say it does have texture, which I cannot understand, as most wallpapers do not. This is smooth, regular wallpaper. I put it in my son's room for an accent wall (other walls are terra-cotta). It looks good--fun. I don't think of it as a "serious" wallpaper but a kind of hip, trompe-l'oeil look.

This is the one I ordered and it is textured. If you're going to paint it I recommend getting the gloss finished. I painted mine to color match and the texture really altered the paint color.

I bought it in white. It has a finish on it. I think it would be able to be lightly sanded and painted.

The image of the item on Amazon is pretty accurate. It appears to be finished either with an oil or maybe some type of low-gloss polyurethane. The surface is matte (not glossy) and the texture is smooth but not glass-smooth. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does have a spongy feel and will be "dented" if it's put in a place that gets bumped into a lot. It looks great though and even better when painted.

It is smooth but not glossy. It has a very light rough finish. It has an outstanding fit though.

Yes, it has a finish and stain, but it's kind of a dull, primitive-looking finish. I really like it.

It is actually a dark brown metal, meant to look antique. It comes in a few pieces which you put together bu can leave off and keep only the knobs. However the mounting holes are visible but not too much.
