Abstract
Abstract A method of making a laminate and articles of furniture made from the laminate are disclosed wherein a transparent acrylic sheet is coated with an acrylic paint coating composition on one side in a predetermined color and decorative pattern. The coated sheet is then coated with an acrylic primer coating composition over the acrylic paint coating. The sheet is adhesively secured to a backing member such as barrel board for fabrication into furniture. Preferably, abrasion-resistant or super abrasion-resistant coated acrylic sheets are used and the side coated with acrylic paint and lacquer is that opposite the abrasion-resistant coated side.
