Console tables serve multiple roles throughout the home. Position one in your entryway as a landing spot for keys and mail. Place another behind your sofa to display lamps and family photos. Use a narrow design in hallways where floor space is limited but wall space calls for visual interest.

This collection brings together 257 console tables from Uttermost, Crestview Collection, Essentials For Living, Surya, Casa Bonita, and Becki Owens collaboration pieces. Prices range from $412 for tempered glass designs to $5,487 for hand-carved Peruvian artisan pieces. Each brand contributes distinct materials, construction methods, and design aesthetics.

Solid wood console tables anchor spaces with natural warmth and lasting durability. The Surya Tana features mango wood construction with built-in shelves for storage and display. Mango wood offers sustainability since trees are harvested only after fruit production ends, and the dense hardwood accepts finishes from light washed tones to rich dark stains.

Specialty Wood Selections

Uttermost's Thoreau console showcases ebony textured elm with an organic sculptural profile at $1,375. The Palisade pairs rich coffee finished oak with antiqued gold metal accents. Becki Owens x Surya collaborations include the Solano Taft in hemlock wood with leather details ($1,909) and the Altos in natural wood at $3,639.

Cane and Rattan Accents

Essentials For Living combines wood frames with woven elements. The Holland console features matte white finish with natural rattan drawer fronts ($1,311). The Cane console pairs smoke gray oak with smoke gray cane panels ($2,061). These mixed-material designs bridge modern and coastal aesthetics.

Glass-topped consoles create visual openness in entryways and living rooms. Tempered glass construction ensures safety and durability. The Uttermost Atchison pairs a glass top with black iron framework at $737. Casa Bella Living offers a warm gold frame with tempered glass at $412, making glass accessible at every price point.

Mirrored Designs

Mirrored console tables reflect light throughout rooms, amplifying both natural and artificial illumination. The Hayley narrow console features a mirrored top with antiqued gold iron base ($608). Henzler designs offer mirrored tops in both silver and gold frame options ranging from $768 to $859.

Metal Frame Options

Brass and gold finishes dominate contemporary console design. The Redmond narrow console features brushed brass construction ($751). Surya's Anaya pairs white marble with gold metal base ($688). Iron bases in black and antiqued finishes suit industrial and transitional interiors.

Natural marble tops bring timeless sophistication to entryways and living rooms. Each marble surface displays unique veining patterns formed over geological time. White marble creates bright focal points while darker varieties offer dramatic contrast against light walls.

Marble with Metal Bases

The Surya Anaya combines white marble with a gold metal base at $688 sale price. Becki Owens x Surya Eve features a marble top on a designer-selected base at $1,436. These combinations balance the weight of natural stone with the airiness of open metal frameworks.

Care Considerations

Seal marble surfaces annually to prevent staining. Wipe spills immediately, especially acidic liquids like citrus or wine. Use coasters and trivets to protect the surface from etching. With proper maintenance, marble console tables maintain their beauty for generations.

Casa Bonita represents the pinnacle of artisan furniture craftsmanship. Each console table is hand-carved and hand-painted by skilled Peruvian artisans using techniques passed through generations. These investment pieces range from $3,208 to $5,048 and function as both furniture and collectible art.

Featured Designs

The Amara console table ($5,048) showcases intricate carved details with hand-applied paint finishes. The Seville console ($3,208) features traditional Peruvian design motifs. The Ruidoso console ($3,898) highlights hand-carved wood construction throughout. Production time varies based on the complexity of carving and finishing work.

Artisan Heritage

Peruvian woodcarving traditions date back centuries, blending indigenous techniques with Spanish colonial influences. Each Casa Bonita piece arrives with slight variations that confirm handcrafted authenticity. These consoles become family heirlooms passed between generations.

Standard console table height ranges from 28 to 36 inches. Entryway consoles typically stand 30 to 34 inches tall for comfortable use while standing. Behind-sofa placement works best when the console sits level with or 1 to 2 inches below the sofa back.

Depth Considerations

Console depth ranges from 12 to 18 inches. Narrow 12-inch designs suit tight hallways where walking clearance matters. Standard 14 to 16 inch depths balance surface area with traffic flow. Allow at least 36 inches of clearance between the console and opposite walls or furniture.

Length Guidelines

Console length should cover approximately two-thirds of the wall behind it. Behind a sofa, the console should be shorter than the sofa itself. Compact 24 to 36 inch consoles fit apartment entryways while 60 to 72 inch designs anchor larger foyers and living room walls.

What is the difference between a console table and an entryway table?

The terms describe the same furniture type positioned differently. Console table is the general category while entryway table, sofa table, and hallway table describe specific placements. All share the characteristic narrow depth designed for placement against walls or behind furniture rather than freestanding use.

How tall should a console table be behind a sofa?

Position behind-sofa consoles at the same height as the sofa back or up to 2 inches lower. Most sofas have backs between 30 and 34 inches tall, making consoles in this height range ideal. Taller consoles can look top-heavy while shorter ones may disappear visually behind the seating.

What do you put on a console table in an entryway?

Entryway consoles typically hold a table lamp for ambient lighting, a decorative bowl or tray for keys and mail, and a mirror mounted above. Add a small plant or vase of flowers for organic texture. Storage baskets below open-shelf designs contain shoes, umbrellas, or seasonal accessories.

How far should a console table be from the wall?

Most console tables sit directly against the wall. Leave 6 to 12 inches between a sofa and a behind-sofa console to prevent the furniture from touching. Ensure adequate clearance for any drawers to open fully and for cords from table lamps to reach outlets without tension.

Are narrow console tables practical?

Narrow consoles with 12-inch depth work well in hallways and tight entryways where every inch matters. They provide surface area for lamps, decor, and daily essentials without blocking traffic flow. Deeper 16 to 18 inch designs offer more styling space but require wider hallways to maintain 36-inch walking clearance.

How do I choose the right console table material?

Match materials to your existing furniture and lifestyle needs. Wood consoles suit traditional and farmhouse interiors with their warm, natural appearance. Glass and metal designs complement modern and contemporary spaces. Marble adds sophistication but requires careful maintenance. Consider durability needs for high-traffic entryways versus decorative living room placement.
