Full Specifications

What Is a Console Table?

A console table is a narrow, rectangular accent table designed to sit against a wall or behind a sofa, typically measuring 12-18 inches deep and 28-34 inches high. Unlike a sideboard, which is built primarily for dining room storage, a console table focuses on display and visual impact rather than concealed storage. In Asian-inspired design, altar-style console tables like the Nabu elevate this concept with spiritual symbolism and handcrafted details that bring both beauty and meaning to your space.

What You Get With the Noir Nabu Console

1. Zen-Inspired Altar Table Design -- The altar table form brings spiritual grounding to modern spaces, with proportions that create visual harmony and a sense of calm.
2. Hand-Rubbed Black Finish with Natural Wood Grain -- The finish is applied and then partially worn away to reveal the natural wood grain underneath, creating a unique character through this artisanal process.
3. Substantial 82-Inch Width -- At nearly 7 feet long, this console table makes a statement that smaller pieces cannot, sized to complement large sectional sofas and grand foyer walls.
4. 17-Inch Depth -- Deep enough for table lamps and decorative objects, but narrow enough to leave clear walkways behind sofas or in entryways.
5. Solid Wood Construction -- Handcrafted from solid wood throughout, ensuring durability and authenticity that engineered materials cannot replicate.
6. Finished Back Panel -- Use it as a room divider or floating piece without worrying about unsightly exposed backs.

Where Does a Narrow Console Table Work Best?

At 17 inches deep, this narrow console table fits perfectly in hallways without blocking traffic flow, works beautifully as a console table behind couch arrangements in spacious living rooms, and anchors grand entryways where smaller accent tables would disappear. Pair it with minimalist decor in living room furniture settings to let the hand-rubbed finish take center stage.
