I had that same situation when my dark brown TV stand started getting scuffed/scratched up and the wood was showing through. Almost everything in my entertainment area was black and personally I like color consistency. I was in college at that time and couldn't afford a good quality $300.00 TV stand or entertainment center. I had in the past painted an old dresser and put new hardware on it to make it more modern. It took a lot of work but did completely overhaul the look into this decade lol. The thing I learned was to check the edges of your piece of furniture and tops of drawers because like Adveser said the plastic is a nightmare! It kept peeling and pulling off just from use of shutting the drawers. Fortunately my TV stand didn't have any of that. I did end up painting it black and still use it today. I did go my local home improvement store and get paint just for both the dresser and TV stand projects. If I recall correctly they said that non latex paint is the best for painting over paint.I hope this helps with your decision.
