This Bill Cain-designed narrow console table supports up to 94 pounds while creating visual lightness in open floor plans.

What Is a Console Table?
A console table is a narrow rectangular table designed to sit against walls or behind sofas, typically measuring 28-34 inches in height and 12-18 inches in depth. Also known as a sofa table or entryway table, console tables serve both decorative and functional purposes in living spaces without sacrificing floor area.
What You Get With the Chelsea House Bridges Wooden Console Table
- Continuous Waterfall Design -- The C-shaped construction flows from tabletop to floor in one uninterrupted curve, eliminating leg hardware that can loosen over time.
- Light Burlwood Veneer -- Warm cork brown burlwood showcases natural swirling grain patterns that develop deeper character over decades rather than looking dated.
- 71.5-Inch Width -- At nearly 6 feet wide, this console works behind sectional sofas, in large entryways, or flanking wide doorways where smaller tables would look disproportionate.
- 22.25-Inch Depth -- Deep enough for substantial table lamps and large decorative vases while maintaining clear walkways in hallways.
- 31.75-Inch Height -- Works perfectly as a sofa table behind standard-height sectionals without blocking sightlines.
- Ships Fully Assembled -- No assembly required means no hardware, tools, or instruction manuals.
Where Does a Waterfall Console Work Best?
The Bridges console shines in spacious entryways where its sculptural profile greets guests, behind oversized sectionals in open-concept living rooms, or flanking wide doorways in formal dining rooms. Pair with contemporary accent tables for cohesive living room furniture arrangements, or use in dining room furniture layouts as a buffet alternative.
