It appears to be a very utilitarian gate leg table. Likely strong and sturdy. Looks to have been refinished and badly stained....streaky and un even. It's a good sturdy table but not a fine antique made by a famous maker.

It looks like "real" mahogany to me. Is the top veneered and, if so, how thick is the veneer?

Could we have pics of the underside, especially construction details and hardware?

I don't believe it's mahogany because I see areas of nicks and dings and the underlying wood appears to be very light. And that edge picture doesn't look like veneer to me ...but a picture of the hardware and the underside would help.

It is veneered. Not sure of the thickness though.

It's Mahogany , possibly Veneer , but I think it's solid . I can see the multiple boards in pix 2 . I can't see the underlayment for the veneer in the pix , it's just a bit far away to see it clearly .
The legs are solid Mahogany and the inlay / marquetry is very nice .

Mahogany? In spite of the fact that where the stain/finish has worn away it is almost white?

There appear to be small holes on the short side of the table top edge, or is it my imagination?

Exactly, lazy_gardens.

After looking at it on a computer and not my phone , I think the top might be cherry . Honestly it's hard to tell . The end grain on the boards in the second pix look like cherry . Still can't be 100% sure if it's solid or veneer . Either way It's a nice table .

Nice satinwood accents and banding inlays. Definitely better than the current crop of institutional furniture. There were really cool pieces in the Brookings Institution after WWII as well.
I would like a better pic of the detail where you can see the end grain transitioning into the tabletop just where you can see a glue joint. Right now I would have to say by default it's veneer, until I can see the seam in the end grain and the face grain aligned.
Very light mahogany, where it's clear enough to tell (legs and apron).
