Does anyone know anything about this little dresser?

Okay so I took off the 3 sides of the covering. So from what I see, I think who ever built it glued it on, the top and the sides were never 'finished'. I haven't taken off the top bcuz of this. Here's a pic:

I have a similar one. But mine says japan on the back,and its pressed wood. 9 inch's tall, 15 with the mirror. Im sure yours is a nicer piece,seeing mine is pressed wood.

Thanks Shakesgirl, yours sorta looks like a jewelry chest?

Thanks Shakesgirl, yours sorta looks like a jewelry chest?  Yes it does kinda. It has 7 drawers, looks like more but just 7. They are lined with blue felt. I always thought it was a model till my bf said it was pressed wood,so then I figured it was just something cheap  lol. But too cute to trash

Upon seeing this construction, I believe this would have been a salesman's sample piece.  It has all different kinds of wood...most likely to show potential customers/distributors the variety of finishes available.

Its also possible that it had veneer on the sides and it came off over the years !!

True!!!  However the sides look more finished and not like that of layered wood.

True KC but they would have to have been sanded smooth to apply a veneer !! Veneer is so thin that any tiny bump would have shown otherwise !!

I'm more inclined to think this is a hobby piece, put together for a child.
