Wow... at first glance it reminded me of the sort of tables that are now being imported from India, solidly made and fancy. But the enlargements certainly do belie that impression. It could still be an old Colonial piece. Do you know what type of wood it is? I thought that the legs might have been coromandel, which would have helped with the sub continent link.. but you say that they've been painted.
If it stands 8" off the ground, hard to calculate from the angle, but is it c 2' across? Quite small, and wouldn't take up too much storage space for a nice project. $60, £40... ? Possibly a bit steep, but if you love it, well it's only money! (Is Goodwill the same as our Charity Shop? Might they negotiate on the price?)
