Solid Timber Console Tables
A console table is the slimmest, hardest-working piece of furniture you can put in a home. Anchored against a wall in a hallway, behind a sofa in a living room, or beneath a window as a display, our solid-timber console tables are shallow enough to never block a walkway (typically 30–35cm deep) and long enough to become a real focal point (100–180cm wide).
Where to Use a Console
- Entryway console: keys bowl, mail tray, small lamp. Pair with a mirror above.
- Sofa console: behind a floating sofa in an open-plan living room. Lets you place a lamp without a side table.
- Under-window console: plants, ceramics, framed photos. Keep it low enough that it does not block the sill.
- Dining-side console: as an entry-level buffet for compact dining rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a console table and a hallway table?
They are the same thing. Console table is the American term; hallway table is Australian shorthand for a console placed in an entry hall.
How deep should a console table be?
For hallway use, 25–35cm is the sweet spot — deep enough for a lamp and keys, shallow enough not to obstruct the walkway.
Can I use a console as a desk?
Some can — look for consoles that are 74cm tall with clear knee space. Most consoles run slightly taller (75–80cm) than a working desk.
