What you are aiming for is to remove paint from places that would over time be bumped against or in contact with surfaces and passing traffic to demonstrate wear and tear. If this does not distress the table enough, you can also push a darker paint (raw umber works really well for distressing) into any detail in the wood although modern design usually doesn’t have intricate detailing.
