First, I applied a thick layer of Citristrip (my favorite stripper), covered it in plastic wrap to keep it wet, then let it work overnight.

Second, 2011 me had no idea how to paint furniture. So, I used latex wall paint on this. It’s designed to be flexible and sort of rubbery to be durable on walls. That kind of paint is easy to peel off furniture but not ideal.
Furniture paint should cure quickly to resist indents, provide great color, and a tough, protective, pretty finish. That wall paint did none of that.
Now I use chalk paint, acrylic paint, or latex paint mixed with plaster of Paris and water (DIY chalk paint) to paint furniture.
BUT, peeling that off was SO SATISFYING! 😎
