What is chest worth?

It is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Start with the basics:

Is it really wood?

Is it dovetail or just stapled together?

What what are the pieces behind the door made of?

I really don't think those are the basics. But I'm hopeful that someone will drop by and let us know if it's made from steel or even concrete. I don't even know how to tell, I guess concrete would be really heavy and steel not as heavy. Wood would be my last guess but it's so light, it seems like if would blow away in a breeze or a tropical storm. I mean it could be printed paper stapled onto a poster board but then it would be like a paper airplane that could take off on it's own. You know?

I'm surprised you say that?

I thought it was a joke post and used reverse psychology. Also, once I was at an estate and the family had done-over a basement room as a grotto with nets, carved fish and... wait for it...concrete furniture ala Sponge Bob (before Sponge Bob).

OP's piece is clearly made of wood and I'm sure the back of it is made of wood as well. Sorry for the confusion.

Don't know the worth, but I do know it would be expensive to box and mail.

Knew you meant that, I was being mischievous with my "innocent" misinterpretation.
