On the piece of furniture we opted for a complete restoration of the structure which has been completely redone where it cannot be recugged (in the rear area and in the drawer guides). As for the internal structure of the drawers and all the bottoms, the original poplar ones have been recovered and reinforced. Woodworm treatment to remove xylophagous insects.
