It appears to be a 20th century piece....quite possibly early 1920's....give or take It is does not appear to be a Jenny Lind. The spooling is wrong. Spooled furniture had a rebirth in the mid 1800's and was massed produced. I suspect it is either walnut or maple judging from what I can see of the grain. It is so hard to date furniture of this nature from a photo. However, look under the wood on the bottom shelf. It can you more because it is rarely stained.
Then, after you find this info, write to the company, and they will help you solve this question. If there is no info on bottom, look into the bottom area where the magizines would be. Hoping this help you. Best wishes, J.
It could be a Jenny Lind side table as Amy Aube stated. They had different leg styles.

It almost looks like a Louis XIII style spool leg too, but I'm no expert.
I did a search with your pic lightened up, but couldn't find anything else, except for this Joanna Gaines desk. She says hers, in the specs (if you scroll down on the link) has "Jenny Lind spool turned legs", and the style seems similar to yours , with the block near the bottom. Good luck!

Your table has barley twist legs
I think barley twist legs and I also want to point out a magazine rack would not be anything produced in the 1800's.
I was in the antique business, now retired along with being an interior designer. Your table is definitely American. I would roughly call it traditional mid-century. It looks to be maple and probably made in the 40's. I love the magazine racks. It has so much character.
I have to disagree on the Barley twist description. Barley twist was almost exclusively English and the wood was cut like a spiral, not a spindle. Google Barley twist furniture images.....and also Jinny Lind furniture. The picture is a little hard to see, but it looks more like a spindle, but could have been hand made making it even more special. I love it for being so unusual.
