Looking to identify era. Made of solid wood. Maybe Mahogany? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Last 2 photos are sideways.

I don't see a lot of age on this one and don't believe it is an antique. Looks to be a stereo console from late 20th century.
A photo of a drawer joint would be helpful.

It may be solid wood but the last photo shows damaged particle board with contact paper covering it.I have to agree with scottvez on it's age, not an antique by a long shot.
Thank you! I will take more photos and post, but won't be able to until next weekend.
The back should be telling as well. If you can move it from the wall-- look for fiber board backing and cord holes.

here's a snip of info....
Plywood was invented during the Second world War but it was primarily used exclusively to build PT BOATS and Landing Craft for the military. After the war they began using plywood for residential construction and furniture but by the end of the 1940's there was a severe shortage of Lumber suitable for making plywood.
Particle board was invented in 1950 as a substitute for plywood but it didnt receive much public attention at first.
