I'm not sure the type of wood this features, but it has lasted a long time and seems to be fairly strong. There is some discoloration due to being a well-loved item, but it is sturdy and thick. It has proven to be very protective and durable on travels, used previously as jewelry and/or trinket storage. The wood is soft to the touch and retains its sheen and color.
