Stone surfaces divide homeowners into two camps -- those who embrace natural imperfection and those who want machine-smooth consistency everywhere. The Currey & Co Boyles Travertine Top Rectangular Console Table is a 42-inch modern console table built for stone lovers who want travertine's organic character, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. This isn't painted wood pretending to be natural -- it's actual unpolished travertine with all its porous texture, natural pitting, and color variations from pale ivory to warm tan. The forged iron base in a matte black finish lets the stone be the star, creating contrast that works in both contemporary and transitional rooms.

What Is a Console Table?
A console table is a narrow accent table designed to fit against walls or behind sofas without overwhelming floor space. Unlike a dining sideboard which prioritizes storage capacity, a console table emphasizes surface display and visual impact in tight spaces. Also known as a sofa table when placed behind seating or an entryway table when positioned near doorways, console tables create styled vignettes that welcome guests or anchor empty wall space.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Boyles Console Table
- Solid Unpolished Travertine Top -- You're getting actual quarried travertine with natural porosity, pitting, and color variations that make each piece unique, not travertine-look laminate or cultured stone composite.
- Forged Iron Base Construction -- The support structure is hand-forged iron offering superior strength and developing a natural patina over decades, not cast metal or painted steel tubing.
- Slim 12-Inch Depth Profile -- At just 12 inches deep, this narrow console table for hallway spaces fits where standard 16-18 inch tables would block traffic flow.
- One Fixed Open Shelf -- The lower level provides storage for books, decorative objects, or woven baskets without doors that might swing into walkways.
- Modern Geometric Framework -- The iron base provides visual weight that balances the substantial stone top without looking clunky in narrow entryways.
Where Does a Console Table Behind Couch Work Best?
Place this piece in narrow entryways where first impressions matter, behind apartment-sized sofas to create a display surface without blocking walkways, or flanking doorways where every inch of clearance counts. The 42-inch width pairs well with other console tables or accent tables in living room furniture arrangements.
