What does this mean?

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. Judging from the one photo provided it appears to be a two-colour bamboo braided chest of drawers, possibly used for sewing or storing small items. The box most likely dates to the late Qing dynasty or early republic period. Bamboo weaving has a long tradition in China and is part of the folk art tradition. Similar items are offered and sold at auction. The estimate is based on current auction results. "Asking prices" in the trade might be higher and vary.
