the top is glass framed by wood and you can lift the top part to use like a serving tray.

You have two choices.
1. Do your own research about antique furniture. There are alot of reference books.
2. Find a reputable antique dealer and get it appraised.

HI Could be 40s too. First identify the wood type, then the style. Check out a 40s one on this page listed as Vintage Coffee Table with Removable glass tray

If it is mid-century... Mid-Century Mod items are at their peak in the collecting /decorating world. Your table may be teak wood which is common in this era furniture and sought after. Anything with removable parts, yet still intact are usually sought after. some of the makers of this era garner incredibly high prices at auction. Look for markings somewhere on the piece. Search sites for similar pieces, try to identify the maker.

The description you gave tells me immediately that it's not an antique. It could be an art deco piece of sorts from the 60's. Anyway, you should take a pic and post it on an antique dealer site or go to the nearest antique dealer and ask.

Are you serious?
No one here could possibly tell you. The one thing I will say is that no antique table is likely to have a glass top. The production of plate glass is a relatively modern development. What you have is likely as not a retro piece. Mid 20th century probably...probably being the operative word as vacuous questions like yours cannot be answered definitively.
