What Is a Console Table?

A console table is a narrow, elongated table typically placed against a wall in entryways, hallways, or behind sofas. Unlike a dining table or coffee table, console tables are designed for display and light storage rather than dining or heavy use. Also known as a sofa table, entryway table, hall table, or foyer table, these pieces usually measure 28-32 inches in height and 12-18 inches in depth.
