A console table helps to add length to your entrance lobby or handy storage to your living room. It’s also a great space to put keys, post and general clutter. Our range of console tables includes models with drawers, with fine wood finishes adding to the aesthetic appeal.
Console tables are perfect for narrow spaces like entryways and hallways because of their convenience and low-level impact. When space is at a premium, they can also be useful as TV stands, vanities, or desks. Or you can place one against the back of a sofa and use it for lighting or keeping ornaments.
It got its name because originally the surface was supported upon a scroll-shaped bracket, or upon legs which formed the idea of a bracket. A console table almost always stands against the wall or with its back to another piece of furniture.
Originally, a console table had a surface supported by corbels or brackets, similar to a supported shelf, and was not designed to serve as a stand-alone surface. However, these days a console table is usually supported by four legs. They are often placed in hallways to house a telephone, with an adjacent chair creating a useful seating and storage combination.
