How would I go about creating textures similar to the game Solarpunk?

I've been trying to figure out a good way to recreate the textures in this game, specifically the flat wood texture on the table and trim. It looks flat with minimal/no normals maps so not sculpted, and it doesn't look like any substance designer texture I've seen. What could be a good way to go about replicating it? The rest of the game also has this subtle noise on each texture making it look simple yet polished that I struggle to replicate without making it look dirty.

Search “solarpunk artstation” and you’ll find some breakdowns, like https://www.artstation.com/artwork/gRR038

That's a very different artstyle with a ton of grunge and deep normals. Solarpunk the game has barely any noticeable normal maps and uses flat, clean textures with pure colors and no damage.

looks to me like a soft woodgrain texture that's been projected in Painter (or w/e) to wrap around the edges. Its very low opacity, and there's a subtle curvature highlight and AO shadow.
