What happens here
Begin by removing all drawers and hardware from the dresser. Then, using an orbital sander equipped with 150-grit sandpaper and connected to a dust collection system (like a shop vacuum), thoroughly sand down the existing finish on the dresser's top surface. Continue by sanding the sides and the internal framework where the drawers sit, ensuring a smooth and even surface free of the old stain or paint.
Goal: Smooth and prepare the dresser surface for painting
