I have a wardrobe and was recently asked if it's burl wood. How can I tell?

Sure does appear to be burlwood. The kind of wood it is, I don't know because burl wood is actually not a species of tree, but comes from several kinds as the tree's abnormal growth stage things change to create this look. It's a very expensive wood; you've got a keeper in my book! The wood is beautiful, artistic and serves a purpose.....I also did research on birdseye maple wood to see if there's any resemblance and I didn't see any. Burlwood is my final answer.
There is a whole wiki on what makes a burl pattern in woods en.wikipedia.org/
It is a highly sought after "defect" and I believe yours is a burl pattern probably of walnut wood.
I can't touch or feel it, but the shine off it of it from the window makes me wonder if it a laminate/veneer and not a true wood burl...the burl pattern could be adhered to a veneer over a lesser wood.
This would make a huge difference if you are trying to sell it in the value as a true burl can fetch a lot in some markets, while a veneer may be almost impossible to sell.
Are you asking to value it? If so, I would need a lot more info, including a look see inside! Thanks!
It is burl. I have a bedroom set thats just like that.
It does appear to be burl wood but whether it is true wood or veneer is what you will have to know as there is usually a wide value gap between the two.
