Bobbie Two Drawers White Console Table

When you need a console table that works just as well behind your sofa as it does in your entryway, finding the right balance of storage and style becomes critical. The Chelsea House Bobbie Console Table is a 58-inch Modern console table built for homes that need flexible furniture that moves between rooms, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. This crisp white finished piece features two storage drawers and a streamlined profile that works in any space where you need surface area plus hidden storage. At 19.5 inches deep, it's perfectly sized for behind a standard sofa or in a wide entryway without overwhelming the space. The antique brass hardware adds warmth to the clean lines, making it sophisticated enough for a living room yet practical enough for everyday use.

What Is a Console Table?

A console table is a narrow, rectangular table designed to sit against a wall or behind a sofa, typically measuring 28-32 inches in height and 12-20 inches in depth. Also known as a sofa table, entryway table, or hall table, it serves as both decorative display space and functional storage. Unlike a dining table or coffee table, a console table's primary purpose is to provide surface area in tight spaces where a deeper piece won't fit. Best for entryways, hallways, living rooms, and behind sofas, console tables bridge the gap between purely decorative and highly functional furniture.

What You Get With the Chelsea House Bobbie White Finished Modern Console Table

1. Two Full-Extension Drawers -- Each drawer offers substantial storage for remotes, keys, mail, or dining linens, with smooth-gliding hardware that won't stick or slam. The drawer interiors are finished, so you can store items without worrying about rough wood catching on fabric or paper.
2. Crisp White Lacquered Finish -- The white finish isn't just paint -- it's a multi-coat lacquered surface that resists water rings, scratches, and daily wear better than standard painted furniture. This means it maintains its fresh appearance even in high-traffic entryways or behind frequently-used sofas.
3. Antique Brass Hardware Details -- The drawer pulls feature an antique brass finish that adds visual warmth to the clean white surface. This metal choice works with both gold-toned and silver-toned accessories in your room, making it easier to coordinate with existing lighting and decor.
4. Tapered Leg Construction -- The legs narrow toward the floor, creating a lighter visual footprint than straight legs while maintaining structural stability. This design detail makes the 58-inch width feel less imposing in smaller spaces and adds Mid-Century Modern appeal.
5. Substantial 124-Pound Weight -- This isn't lightweight furniture that shifts when you lean against it. The solid construction means it stays put when you're opening drawers or using the surface, important for both safety and daily functionality.
6. 19.5-Inch Depth Profile -- Deep enough to hold table lamps, decorative objects, and books without items falling off the back, yet shallow enough to fit in standard entryways and behind most sofas without blocking pathways.
7. 30.5-Inch Height -- Perfectly positioned to work behind sofas with standard back heights (28-32 inches) while still being accessible for daily use. This height also works well with standard table lamps, creating proper proportions for lighting.
8. Mixed Storage Design -- Combines the open top surface for display with enclosed drawer storage for items you want hidden, giving you both decorative and practical storage options in one piece.

What Size Console Table Do I Need?

Your console table should be no taller than the back of your sofa (typically 28-32 inches) and ideally within a few inches of the sofa's width. The Chelsea House Bobbie at 30.5 inches high works perfectly behind most standard sofas, and its 58-inch width complements sofas in the 60-72 inch range without looking undersized or overwhelming.

For an entryway or hallway, allow at least 12-14 inches of clearance between the table and the wall opposite. With its 19.5-inch depth, the Bobbie Console requires a minimum 32-inch wide entryway to maintain comfortable traffic flow -- perfect for standard hallways and foyer spaces.

Based on its dimensions, this console table works excellently for: behind sofas 60-72 inches wide, in entryways 32+ inches wide, in living rooms as a room divider, flanking doorways in pairs, or as a TV stand alternative for screens up to 65 inches.

How to Style the Chelsea House Bobbie Console Table

Behind a sofa, pair this console with a large wall mirror or canvas art above, and arrange a table lamp on one end with a few decorative vases or sculptural objects for visual balance. In an entryway, create a welcoming vignette with a lamp for evening light, a decorative tray for keys and mail, and a small plant or seasonal decor.

The two drawers handle the hidden storage -- use them for dining linens if the console sits in a dining area, or for remotes, charging cables, and everyday clutter in a living room setup. A runner rug beneath helps define the space and adds texture contrast to the smooth white finish.

For staging professionals and vacation rental owners, this piece photographs beautifully with minimal styling -- just add a lamp and one tall object for instant sophistication that appeals to potential buyers or guests.

Ideal for homeowners with open floor plans who need furniture that transitions seamlessly between living and dining areas without looking out of place in either setting. Interior designers specifying Modern or Transitional pieces for residential projects will appreciate the 1-2 business day trade approval and up to 40% discount available through LOOMLAN's trade program. Well-suited for vacation rentals and model homes seeking furniture that photographs well and withstands frequent use -- the lacquered finish and solid construction handle the demands of short-term rental environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size console table do I need for behind my 72-inch sofa?

The Chelsea House Bobbie at 58 inches wide works perfectly behind a 72-inch sofa -- it's proportional without being overwhelming, and the 30.5-inch height won't block the sofa back. You'll have about 7 inches of sofa extending on each side, which creates a balanced look.

How deep should an entryway console table be?

For entryways, 12-20 inches deep is the sweet spot, and this Bobbie Console at 19.5 inches deep hits the upper end of that range. It provides substantial surface space for lamps and decor without making your entryway feel cramped -- you'll need at least a 32-inch wide hallway for comfortable passage.

Is this Bobbie Console Table solid wood or veneer?

This is a constructed wood piece with a high-quality lacquered finish, built by Chelsea House which focuses on substantial furniture that can handle daily use. The 124-pound weight indicates solid construction -- much heavier than mass-market alternatives that often weigh 40-60 pounds and feel flimsy when you open the drawers.

Does this console table require assembly?

Yes, minimal assembly required -- typically the legs attach in 15-20 minutes with basic tools. The drawers usually come pre-installed in the case, so you're primarily attaching the base and checking that everything is level and secure.
