Featured how old is my foot stool?

    I decided to reupholster grandmas old foot stool. As I removed the 70s fabric, I discovered an older one beneath.


    The wood kinda looks older than I thought it would which got me thinking it might be antique.

    Any ideas how old it might be?

    Oh btw it turned out pretty well!

    Can't tell about the feet or the sides but the top may be cherrywood. And looks nice after the upholstery.

    Looks 1930s-ish to my eye.
