cherry veneer is my guess

#

low confidence

#

maybe mahogany

difficult from a good picture, nearly impossible from a low res picture like this, but I vote cherry

Thank you both for your responses! How can you tell it is veneer?

#

Well, I mostly mean the top, because that's definitely veneer

#

the legs and apron may not be. Also, veneer doesn't mean bad

#

Ikea means bad, Walmart means bad, veneer does not

Ahhh, I’m very new to this so I just assumed it meant bad or cheap

Don't worry about it, it's a very common misconception

Is it the pattern of the wood design that makes it obvious it is veneer?

#

yep

Sorry if I am asking too many questions. Is this piece worth removing the stain and restaining to make it look new again or nah

#

Similar to the low confidence species guess, hard to say

#

Seeing under the top would go a long way for that answer

#

I'd guess a 90's or so factory desk but looks reasonably well made

#

Important to note that everything I've guessed here is maybe 50% confidence at the highest, other than being veneered top

Hahahah no worries at all! I am trusting your opinion more than my own. I didn’t even know those patterned tops were veneer.
