Looks like a type of mahogany to me.

 

It would be pretty difficult to veneer over those turned legs - they're almost certainly solid wood. The "main board" in the middle would have to be plywood to allow for wood movement.

 

Top edging is a type of mahogany/luane - solid or plywood I can't tell from your pics. Top center panel will not be necessarily the same-skinned plywood. If the legs are heavy - usually a soft maple. If the legs are lighter - usually pine. With factory sprayed-on stain and lacquer. Typical 50's (domestic) - 90's (imported) generic "furniture set" coffee table offering.

And welcome to Lumberjocks!

 

I agree with all three comments above.

 

When I was in the furniture business for a few years, for both Ashley and Catnapper, that is what we called "rubberwood", a sort of Asian knockoff mahogany that was very resilient for the price, and took one coat lacquer/stain mix sprayed on very easily.

Its major usage seems to be in smaller tables, legs for upholstered furniture, certain chair parts like arm rests, legs, stretchers, etc. Rarely do you see it used in a big plank, like a whole table top. That was generally believed because it is very fast growing, and they harvested it quickly to meet the needs of the cheap Asian furniture market with something that looked expensive. Your piece fits this wood well.

It finishes a lot like mahogany, save that when sanded you might find that it is a little harder to get a stain to penetrate to reach a color you want.

We called it rubberwood because it had a tendency to dent and take abuse before it would crack or break - like your deep table scratches show.
I agree that the legs are probably some sort of soft maple, or even poplar.

 

If imported piece will go with the rubber wood id also. Rubber wood was initially just away for them to profit off a spent tree after it was no longer useful life on the rubber plantation. Plantation Hardwood was/is also used as rubber wood is associated with cheap low quality.

 

I think that top is veneer looking at the damaged spot. It looks like veneer then some white wood.
