Are those two veneer spots in the front the only missing places? I'm still working on my first veneer patch. I had to remove it, as the veneer was too thin. Glenn said use a double or triple layer. So, I'll do it again, as I have plenty of veneer. It's not that hard to do, or that expensive. At Rockler, the wood working chain store, they have packages of 3 sheets of 8 X 10 veneers for about $10.00 (depending on the wood). You wouldn't need over 1/2 a sheet.
Let me know how many spots you have. I might be able to send you enough to do that patch.
