Traditional Dark Cherry Finish Butler Side Table with Pull-Out Tray

This is a rectangular side table or nightstand constructed from wood, featuring an espresso or dark cherry stained finish. The table is designed with a gallery top, which includes a raised decorative molding around the perimeter of the upper surface. A notable functional feature is the integrated pull-out beverage slide or service tray located directly beneath the tabletop, indicated by a thin horizontal drawer-like face with a small metal pull knob. Below the main compartment, the piece includes a fixed open lower shelf for storage. The table is supported by four square tapered legs that terminate in simple feet. The construction suggests a mass-market contemporary piece from the late 20th to early 21st century, designed in a transitional or traditional style. Visible condition issues include several surface scratches on the tabletop, minor finish loss and scuffing along the edges of the gallery molding, and light dust accumulation. There are also small nicks and white paint transfer marks visible near the base of the legs, consistent with use in a high-traffic area. No maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship appears to be standard furniture grade with flat, uniform staining.
