just guessing...a hutch

That is a form of a secretary desk. If you want to change the color, use paint - not a stain. It's quite difficult and time consuming to change a stain as the wood has to be stripped to bare. To paint is rather easy over pine. Louvers are paint drip magnets, I always use a spray gun to paint those rather than a brush.

I did a Google image search on "danish desk secretary hutch drop down" and got a lot of similar pieces.

It's a form often called a "plantation desk"...updated for the 1960's Early American rock hard maple craze.
You can use a wiping "stain" to modify the color....get some artist oil paint and add some to some thinned varnish and wipe it on using a soft cloth. Remember it's easy to add more but hard to add "less" after it has dried.
I would get a tube of burnt umber and a tube of maroonish red and mix up a color you like....test it on a board.
I have done the wipe with dilute paint thing several times with a too orangey or yellow stain. Works well!

Thank all of you so much for responding. I'll start calling it a "drop front plantation desk."

So it's maple? It never occurred to me that it would be anything but cheap pine ... but pine would have some knot holes, and this has none. Cool! I'm having second thoughts about modifying its color. I look at those louvers and can't imagine doing a good job of wiping stain evenly. I'll experiment with a clean damp cloth first. Thanks again everyone!

I know photos can be deceptive, but it looks pretty good to me as-is.

You might clean & polish it well and maybe change out the knobs for an updated look. Definitely hang on to the originals though.

Even some maples have knots. They are why birds eye maples received their name. For informational purposes only knots are where a tree used to have a branch. As trees grow some form "calluses" or boles around where the limb was. These areas provide interest to various woods but in other woods if the knot is easily punched out a problem.

That does not look like maple to me. Not all pine has knots. Whoever built it could have selected pieces of pine (or another wood) without knots.

While I think the staining is maple in looking closer at it I am tending toward pine or perhaps what is commonly called white cedar. It does have some put together look to it especially be back panels. Each of the panels appear to be a different wood. I think the top panel is original but the back of the desk should blend with the rest and it does not. The bottom back panel is not finished. The top panel and sides show a coarse graining/banding that is normally not found in most commercial furniture grade maple. There was someone on here last year that was knowledgeable about wood and posted on how to look at graining to decide the type of wood it would be nice if he returned.

Even though yours is not antique, you might find this article on drop-front desks to be kind of interesting. Be warned, though: this website is like going down a rabbit hole!

Fall-front or drop-front desk

P.S. It’s definitely not a plantation desk. From Ruckersville Gallery:

This black walnut desk is all original, with Country Sheraton turned feet. These more typically Southern desks were so designed that the top could easily be removed to a wagon and taken onto the plantation fields and to the outbuildings as needed to do work by the owner or the overseer. These were also used by Aide De Camps to write letters and complete documents for their commanding Confederate officers in the field.

Having a relatively small footprint, this plantation desk is readily useful in today’s homes. Its tall stately look makes it a handsome addition to most decors.
