Is my $4.99 find worth more?

    I nabbed this table at a goodwill, thinking it looked a little asian and would look great in my living room, where it's been for a year. I'm by no means any kind of expert on furniture, and had stumbled across some similar tables called Kang or Ming Kang tables made in the 17th/18th century. Could my table be one or are there many reproductions that could show as much wear and age as this? Just looking for someone who knows something more!
    Here is a link to photos as I tried to upload them but they were all too large, let me know what you think, thanks!

    Hey Brad! It's not screaming "old" at me, but what do I know. Brad will probably be able to tell if it's old wood.

    Bear with me, I can't speak for the credibility of the store(s) I found these in but these were some of the more simple kangs and similar tables I found Screenshot_2016-06-01-23-08-17.png Screenshot_2016-06-02-08-29-20.png Screenshot_2016-06-02-13-16-56.png

    Certainly worth more than you paid for it. Does seem to have some age to it but I sincerely doubt 17th-18th century. Can we have dimensions?

    Are there pictures?
    All I see is the underside with a join.
