Alert ID and appraise this coffee table

I just bought this coffee table on spec, for <$20. It's Danish mid-century modern. I'm trying to figure out who made it and maybe what it's worth, because I do not need a coffee table and bought it solely because I had a vague sense that it might be an awesome deal.

Please review, analyze, and report. Let me know if I have omitted relevant facts and I will try to provide.

Facts:
  • It is 56" long at its longest, and 20.25" wide at its widest.
  • There are no makers marks or banding anywhere on it.
  • It has those Danish modern screw-in legs; currently 13."
  • On the two long sides it has a sculpted edge (pictured).
  • It has no shelf or anything else underneath.

My parents might know something about Danish furniture, but I do not.

That can't be midcentury, it's only 2015.

It looks sturdy and functional, though I bet it rattles a bit. Something I'd probably be willing to pay about $20 for if I found a similar one, but not yours, as it is too far away.

Oak Danish 1950s to 1960s is my guess.

Put it on CL at $150 to test the waters; sold it to a guy down the street for $125. Job creation to follow.
