Iroko grain can be quite convoluted (and prone to tear out as a result) but somehow your sample does not look that similar to the Iroko I've got here.
I've got a photo somewhere of some drawers I made in Iroko. I'll try and locate it from deep in bowels of Photobucket

He says it's a shoe rack. An untruth...now that the 'fine' weather's arrived, this is fact a cat's sunning station. Pole position goes to His Nibs on the top shelf with the second occupied by MHTB. The rest of the ne're-do-wells and interlopers are on the shelves underneath - Rob

There is a fair chance that the shoe rack will rack over time. Could you attach a back to give it some rigidity?
Looks fit for purpose though.

AndyP- I'm pleased to say it hasn't racked (yet)

I'm re-working some old science benchtops at the minute which I think are likely sepele and look similar to your wood.

Good find! Old science worktops- often Iroko, or if they’re pre ww2? they may even be Teak! I reworked some Iroko ones once, it was hard work with the almost total lack of equipment, but good end results.
