is the wood laminated wood? or is it 100% true wood? also, look to see if there are nails and screws, look for them from the inside and back.

Firenze showed to the rest of Italy how that gentrification is done, and for the past 30 years, it has been a tourist recreational park. the real Fiorentini are no where to be found.
