Can't really see its legs and other features, or the condition it is in. It would probably go for $50-$150 depending on those details.

Mersman made over 30 million tables so they are not rare.Mostly they used gum wood.You can go on E-bay and watch how much they sell for over a two month period.Remember not listed prices but actual sales.I believe they are worth between 50 to 100 dollars depending on the buyer.

Mersman tables were made in the mid 20th century. Tables like this go for around $75 on eBay.

Many people own a Mersman table and think they are unique or worth a lot of money. This isn't the case. The company made these tables and mass produced many of them.

They are selling on eBay and Craig's list all the time. Most people sell them for 50 to 150 dollars depending on the condition of the table.

Mersman tables are popular but many styles are very plentiful on eBay, Etsy and most local furniture stores.
Actually, the figure over 30 million pieces manufactured was stated in 1978 and many more tables were made before they closed their doors in 1995.
They have Facebook page but it only employees doing any posting. they also have a web page but it is not really functional and there are no available lists for their tables by number, year or design.
There should be a number on the bottom of your table that may help you find information on your table but many times any prices that you see may be from years ago and no help at all. You can Google Mersman end or side table (and your number if you find it) and there will be a lot of images (mainly Pinterest) and you may be able to find a table like yours.

Here is what one Collectibles Magazine wrote:
During its existence the company produced more than 30 million items of furniture for the American market. These mass-produced items are of such abundance that they have relatively little value as collectors items or antiques on todays markets.

Here are some links if you would like to read about the history of Mersman.
