A console table is a narrow, shallow surface -- typically 12 to 18 inches deep -- designed for entryways, hallways, and the space behind a floating sofa. When placed behind a sofa, it should be no taller than the sofa back (usually 34 to 40 inches) to avoid visual conflict. In an entryway, it serves as a landing zone for keys and mail when paired with a mirror above. Read our guide to end tables and side tables for how console tables work differently from end tables and when each one is the right choice.

A console table is a narrow, flat-backed table designed to sit against a wall or behind a sofa. The depth is the defining characteristic -- typically 10 to 16 inches -- which allows it to fill wall and hallway spaces that a standard table couldn't. Heights range from 28 to 34 inches, widths from 36 to 72 inches.

We carry console tables in metal, wood, and mixed-material finishes -- from industrial iron and reclaimed wood to sleek glass-and-chrome and traditional carved wood. Many include lower shelves for baskets, books, or decorative objects.

Console Table Uses

  • Behind a sofa: A console behind the sofa creates a visual base and provides a surface for lamps, plants, and decor. In rooms where the sofa floats in the center, the console defines the back edge of the seating area
  • Entryway: A console at entry height (30 to 34 inches) in a foyer or hallway handles keys, mail, bags, and first-impression decor better than almost any purpose-built entry piece
  • Dining room: A console against the dining room wall replaces a sideboard when you need serving surface without the storage depth -- typically 24 to 36 inches wide and 12 to 15 inches deep
  • Hallway: Narrow hallways (36 to 48 inches wide) can often accommodate a 12-inch-deep console on one wall without blocking traffic flow
