Will a wireless router work in a wood enclosed cabinet (assume proper rear ventilation)?

My wireless router is currently hardwired to my PS3, sitting in the back of my entertainment stand. I’m thinking of getting a new cleaner-looking entertainment stand that will hide the PS3, cable box, and the wireless router. I would open the doors to use the cable box and PS3, but I would like to keep the wireless router up and running without opening and closing the doors.

Will the wireless router work in a wood enclosed (maple) cabinet? Assume that there is proper ventilation in the rear. The storage cabinet would be able to snuggly fit the cable box, PS3, and wireless router. No glass doors, everything is wood on all sides.

Yes. Metal, or other dense material is the main issue. The veneered wood of a cabinet should present no problem.
