You can see in the photos where it has already lost some of this fake grain finish and is down to the veneer underneath. Restoring this is way above my skill level, but some web searches can give you some info if not help.

Any refinishing will evaporate them and leave you with the underlying veneer or hardwood which will not re-grain like you see right now.

Yeh.. I realized that. I was thinking if I did refinish it, I would either go without it, or I would try and redo it using a wood grainer tool, but getting it done in all of those little grill pieces would probably be a real nightmare.. I really am kinda confused as to what I should do with this one..
