Question
I have two identical nightstands that are both peeling/bubbling in the same spot on both nightstands. (upper right front) Could you tell me what might be the cause for this to happen on both night stands?

Answer
There are two possibilities that could be causing this. The first is moisture is somehow getting trapped there. The second is maybe where the sunlight comes in? Sunlight usually does not cause bubbling, but it could be a combination of sunlight and moisture. Most common sign of bubbling is moisture.
