I don't get what this is. Looks like a fine film that came off a bathroom cabinet in a couple small places and was overhanging an edge. It curled up as I removed it from the edge. If someone knows what this is and how to repair the small spots I'd be appreciative.
It's paper with printing made to look like real wood. Not at all unusual. Probably cheap pressed board underneath. No repair. Try to strop off all the old stuff and replace it. Available at all home improvement stores.

Seems awfully brittle for paper. Flakes easily. The cabinet itself is onl= y a few months old.
The photo looks like there is real wood under a really bad, peeling and cracking paint job. Is the peeling stuff brittle? If so, it looks like enamel that was applied without a primer and then perhaps got some moisture intrusion to cause it to peel.

I suppose thst's possible The finish material is very thin and brittle.

I put the best pictures I could get up for viewing :( This house was a flip and I don't know who did the installation. Some posters seem to think it's enamel. It is quite glossy.
May have to have someone look at it and determine what it really is.

Hm. Stripping the entire cabinet is not exactly what I had in mind :( but it may be best to do that. I'm pretty big on DIY but I may let a pro handle this.
