Please note that there is a tiny border of Rosewood on the top of each drawer of the commode and therefore the lot is subject to the current endangered species law. Veuillez noter qu'il y a une minuscule bordure de bois de rose sur le dessus de chaque tiroir de la commode et que ce lot est donc soumis à la loi actuelle sur les espèces menacées.
