Sion is the closest yet. Its Oak. If you look at the table, the color is very blotchy. This indicates that the table has been stained (rather poorly as is evident in the last picture, note the dark blotch in the upper left.) and then laquered over. So all you have to go by is the grain of the wood. Now, looking again at the last picture, because it is the only one that shows the grain well enough to examine... The grain is not straight, but rather it curves and bends, and has wide gaps as well as very fine ones. This grain is typical of oak wood. The one that finally gave it away is the very upper left corner of the picture, how the wood has a funny pattern that doesnt follow the grain at all. this is something that happens very often with oak.
