GUESS WHAT AM I & WHAT AM I MADE OF-VIII?!

(Gratefully acknowledge the concerted effort of Smt. Sharmila Sen, Smt. Bharti Gupta and, Ms. Joshika Gupta.)
Did this picture collage help you guess what I am? No?
Then check on this:
Oh yes! I am a utensil cabinet! Now, can you guess what am I made of? Okay, I shall give you a hint. I am made of waste materials. Does that help? No? Then this might help:
Base and the top cover are of shaved and cut strips of mango wood.
The base on the wooden stand is made of four layers of cloth and, cardboard sheet. A Circle is cut in the centre of the base to embed an old discarded steel stand of a defunct oven to help drain out water from the washed utensils placed in the cabinet.
Four layers of thick cardboard sheets,  few thermocol sheets and, cloth were glued together with the Fevicol Adhesive.  The cabinet's corners were reinforced with aluminium sheets of Schweppes' soft drink cans.
The door of the cabinet has no hinges.
Both inside and outside walls are covered with a layer of empty plastic milk sachets.
Chopped and shaved strips of mango wood used to reinforce the top of the cabinet.
You may wonder why the top of the utensil cabinet has a wooden wire-meshed frame cover? Why plastic-covered stips of cardboard are used to cover it? Here's a simple answer. We can easily keep large utensils in the cabinet through its top opening. The cardboard sheet cover keeps the cabinet dust free.
There is a small steel spoon holder connected to the wall of the cabinet.
What are the advantages of this cabinet?

  1. It is lightweight and can be moved around with ease.
  2. We have creatively transformed waste materials into something useful.
  3. We can easily dismantle and reassemble: its base, top, and walls.
  4. It is not hazardous for children.
  5. It is economical.
  6. It is sturdy
  7. It can also become a wall cabinet
