Console Tables

There are 200+ console tables in our range, enough that almost every hallway width and entry style is covered, which turns the real question into how much surface you actually need against a wall you've probably never measured properly. Measure the wall, note the depth limit if it's a narrow hallway, and shop from that number.

Console table materials available

Timber tones dominate our most popular console tables, and light wood is the easiest of them to match against existing flooring, ahead of medium and dark wood and a smaller share of white and black finishes. Rattan console tables also appear for a lighter, more textured look, and marble-look tabletops give you a similar stone look with less weight to position and move more easily.

Both oak and walnut are available to seamlessly match your existing timber palette. Manufactured wood and MDF frames hold up well against humidity and everyday knocks, and stay noticeably lighter to re-position compared to a solid timber piece.

If you're furnishing the whole entry space, our display cabinets range pairs well with a console table nearby.

Mirrors, lamps and storage on a console table

A console table typically holds a mirror, lamp, decorative bowl or a small stack of books rather than daily-use items, so its job is mostly visual. Because most console tables in our range sit at a fairly consistent height around 74cm to 78cm, styling items bought for one will generally suit another if you change tables later.

Drawer and shelf storage varies by design, so if you want somewhere to stash keys or mail rather than just a display surface, that's worth confirming for the specific models you're looking at. A console table under a mirror is one of the most common pairings and is perfect in an entryway for a last minute check before you run out the door, and the two don't need to match exactly in order to work together.

Our sideboards and buffets range is worth a look if you need enclosed storage rather than open display.

Console table sizes and depths

Console tables in our range run from around 60cm up to 200cm in length, with depths typically between 30cm and 45cm. Narrower depths, closer to the 30cm end, suit hallways where floor space is tight, while items with wider measurements work better as a display surface behind a sofa.

For extra surface right beside your sofa instead of in the hallway, check our side and end tables range.
