The item is made of wood. It seems to have a laminate wood layer all around, has Althea following label in one of the drawers: E. Liberatore M. Di Bernardo Mobili Arredamenti via S. Ippolito 4, Roma. Feels like 50-60 years old, has some old screws, and doesn’t appear to be machine cut.

Thanks, Mario.
