How to refinish black high gloss bookcase?

I would like to refinish a black high gloss bookcase with gold trim. The gold trim, I think is glued to the top edge. Does anyone know how to get the trim off?? Does anyone have any helpful suggestions as to how I can stain this mahogany and where to buy new cabinet knobs and drawer pulls?

First you will have to knock down the gloss by either sanding or using Paseo deglosser. Since you want to stain it, you will have to sand it down to the bare wood. Then you can use a wipe on stain and apply it until you have the color saturation you desire. Then you will have to seal it with a non-yellowing UVA/UVB protecting polyurethane with a couple of coats. Cabinet hardware can be found at Home Depot, Expo Design, Lowes Home Improvement centers and almost any kitchen design showroom. And, of course our sponsored link, goknobs.com
