What Is a Console Table?
A console table is a narrow rectangular table designed to sit against walls, behind sofas, or in entryways without taking up significant floor space. Also known as a sofa table or entryway table, these pieces typically measure 12-18 inches deep and 28-32 inches tall, allowing them to tuck neatly behind furniture or along hallways. Unlike coffee tables or dining tables, console tables are built for display and light storage rather than daily use.
What You Get With the Highland Wooden 3-Drawer Sofa Table
- 60-Inch Width with Smart Proportions -- The substantial length provides display space for multiple lamps and decorative objects while maintaining a 14.5-inch depth that won't extend too far behind sofas.
- Three Felt-Lined Drawers -- Each drawer features soft felt lining to protect electronics, jewelry, and remotes from scratches while preventing items from sliding around.
- Fluted Wood Drawer Fronts -- Vertical grooves carved into the drawer fronts add textural interest and sophisticated detail that catches light throughout the day.
- Dovetail Joinery Construction -- Traditional woodworking joints connect drawer sides to fronts and backs, creating strong mechanical bonds that won't pull apart under regular use.
- Polished Brass-Finished Hardware -- Iron knobs with brass finishing add warm metallic accents that complement both warm-toned and cool-toned wood furniture.
- Lower Display Shelf -- An open shelf beneath the drawers provides additional storage for baskets, books, or decorative objects without requiring drawer space.
How Do You Style a Console Table Behind a Sofa?
Position the Highland console table 6-10 inches behind your sofa back to leave enough space for cushions and pillows while creating a cohesive furniture grouping. Add table lamps for reading light and decorative objects that complement your living room furniture, or pair with pieces from our accent tables collection to create a layered look.
