This is DIY repair, not project.

Had some nasty MDF damage. Instead of looking for replacement parts ar sending table to indefinite storage, decided to fix it. I hope this will be useful to someone.

Thanks for sharing! I wouldn't have thought to use wood filler epoxy for this, but it makes perfect sense. I have a malm dresser that I think I'll try this approach on.

Wood repair epoxy putty is really useful stuff - I've used it to fix door jambs to repair a broken jamb and when changing out hardware, and with a little cleanup and paint you can't tell it's not wood.
