It looks a lot like hong suan zhi (rosewood) rather then huanghuali. I would agree its not as old as it was presented as.
A lot of stuff coming into the states at that time was still through Hong Kong and southern China and this looks very much like a similar style of table I was recently show at a customer's home. I have included the link below. I wouldn't be surprised if this was something made in the last 50 years from either Hong Kong or Guangdong.
Still - good material, well made - that still makes it a very nice piece.
Also for reference, photos taken outside or photos with a flash are quite useful. Closeups of joinery and undersides are good too (details, details, details).
