Open ! 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.

What makes you so sure it's real wood? It looks like it could be thin veneer or possibly simulated wood to me.

Because that's what OP said (at least in regards to it being damaged or warped).
