Is it worth it?? That will depend who you ask. The cost of pretty much everything, including used furniture, has gone up so much in recent years that it's making more quality pieces unattainable for a LOT of folks. At least temporarily. Is it junk though? To me, if it functions properly, regardless of what it's made of, it's not junk.
But this one is REALLY cheap, and needs some basic repairs.
If you're on a super tight budget but still want things that look nice, you can find pieces like this very inexpensively in thrift stores, or even free on FB Marketplace. Most still have some years left in them, and I'm all for keeping stuff out of a landfill. Hopefully you can find some that don't have big chunks missing, but in this video, I want to show you how you can fix them as easily as possible.
These aren't the kind of flips to really make much money on, when you consider cost and time spent versus sale price... but if you need some inexpensive furniture that is readily available, this might be a good option. These pieces are also great for trying out new techniques on.
I'm using Fusion Mineral Paint here, but really, you can use any paint you can get your hands on. Instead of epoxy, you can use a regular glue. I used my impact driver and my SurfPrep here to save myself some time, but all of this can be done by hand without these power tools. You'll pretty much NEED to have a couple of spring clamps to do repairs like I'm doing here, but they are literally a few dollars each at discount stores, and can be used for years on many projects.
