No more bamboo wood. The already existing drawers are made of pressed bamboo wood from China. Beside them normal wood approximately in color as on the pictures. No matter what wood. The dimensions are the outer dimensions. No interior partitioning.
Hallo Alfred.
Thank you for your reply.
The wood that will be used to look like the one of the bamboo tray is Cyprus wood.
It is bright in colour and can be stained to match.
Thank you
