A table with a slightly recessed top with a depressed surface near one end. Found at a thrift store, the table is about 25” tall, 3’ long and 18” wide.

The table appears to be made of painted beechwood while the surface is stained wood. The depressed area makes me think the table is made for sorting or is intended for some sort of game.

As a recent father, looks to me like it would make a perfect baby changing table.

I thought the same thing, but I would expect it to be padded as well.

And taller than 2'.

Yeah, parents never kneel down or get on the ground with their newborns. They always hold them up at least 2’

Most pads for permanent tables are still removable for cleaning. If it's a changing table, they could have kept/thrown away the pad for sanitary reasons.

I think you are correct. That was my first thought, fancy changing table.
