What Is a Console Table?

A console table is a narrow rectangular table typically 12-18 inches deep, designed to fit behind sofas or along walls without blocking foot traffic. Unlike a dining sideboard which focuses on storage for dishes and serving pieces, a console table emphasizes display space and organization for everyday items like keys, mail, and decor.

What You Get With the Chelsea House New London Console Table

1. Hand-Laid Bone Inlay Construction -- Each piece of blue and white bone is individually placed to create the intricate fish scale pattern, a technique that takes skilled artisans hours to complete.
2. Three Full-Size Storage Drawers -- Each drawer features smooth-gliding hardware and silver knobs that complement the blue and white color scheme, perfect for hiding remotes, cables, papers, or seasonal decor.
3. Optimal 16-Inch Depth for Narrow Spaces -- This slim profile fits perfectly behind most sofas or in hallways where deeper pieces would create traffic bottlenecks while still providing substantial surface area.
4. Statement Fish Scale Pattern -- The overlapping scale design creates visual texture and movement that changes as light hits the surface throughout the day.
5. Tapered Four-Leg Base -- The wood legs provide stable support while maintaining an airy, elevated appearance that keeps the floor visible beneath.

Where Does This Console Table Work Best?

Place this 56-inch piece in your entryway for immediate impact when guests arrive, or position it behind your living room sofa to add color and storage without blocking sightlines. The 16-inch depth makes it ideal for narrow hallways where you need surface space without sacrificing walkability. Pair it with other accent tables in complementary coastal colors, or let it stand alone as the focal point in your dining room against an empty wall.
