The entire cabinet is made of reclaimed tropical hardwood from Brazil. There is NO part made of veneer, particle board or plywood. Because it is reclaimed wood, small details of previous use can be seen. These are well worked away and are hardly noticeable.There are some drill or nail holes that have been filled. There is also something in one spot that indicates traces of woodworm or something similar. There is no more insects. This has only happened in Brazil. These traces are hardly noticeable. This is part of the charm of reclaimed wood. Back side is missing a small piece on the upper right. This is not visible on the other sides.
