Most likely. Pics?

You can fix anything if you want to bad enough.

It's not as big as this but there is a pretty decent gap is say a few millimeters and there's two of them and they are long
It's along the top of the dresser
And they aren't perfectly straight

I think it's mahogany wood or whatever a deep dark almost red is
Beautiful handles too it even has those skeleton key holes lady said its over 60 years old

You could try using clamps (obviously larger ones) and try glue and squeeze. I've done it before, sometimes successfully...
other times I had to refinish it to hide it better. There's also a variety of fillers and wood putty in different colors for finishing.
If cracks are close to an edge...a finishing air nail gun after gIue and clamps could work great.

You really have to see the piece to assess the final solution but you could fix that with tools and clamps, etc.

Yes it's fixable: clamps and glue. But leave it where it will live for a couple weeks before fixing; change and equilibrate in humidity

My shed arrived on schedule. It was off loaded from a special trailer pulled by a 1 ton Ford Dually...but the really cool machine was the portable mover...2 wheel sets detach, then the machine jacks up shed on one side to slip wheel assemblies over bottom runners...then machine lowers that side and goes to opposite side, jacks it up...and drives shed to it's final location. Very cool little machine...but I've always been a sucker for cool machines.

Houston, we have landed.
After he jacked wheels off, we jacked up the center and pushed it till we squared it up. It doesn't have the planned 12" border because...a 12' shed is not 144"...it is 137" with 3.5" roof overhang on sides that give You the 12'... I ordered electrical conduit hole based on my false assumption of 144"...so it's closer to garage by a couple inches...best my dumb ass could do. It works, looks good, my electrician buddy coming tomorrow to run lines and set up for lights, outlets and an old little 4.8 amp AC unit.

I'm almost done with the project here...starting to feel the rush.
