What Is a Console Table?
A console table is a narrow rectangular table designed to sit against a wall or behind a sofa, typically measuring 28-34 inches tall and 12-20 inches deep. Unlike dining tables or coffee tables, console tables serve decorative storage and display functions in entryways, hallways, and living rooms. Also called a sofa table, hall table, or entryway table, these pieces provide surface area in transitional spaces without blocking foot traffic.
What You Get With the Chelsea House Sanibel Console Table
- Hand-Wrapped Linen Raffia -- The entire frame is wrapped in natural linen raffia, creating a textured surface that adds depth and warmth while hiding fingerprints and daily wear better than smooth finishes.
- Sled Base Construction -- Four straight legs form a continuous sled base that distributes weight evenly, prevents wobbling on uneven floors, and eliminates leg joints that loosen over time.
- Two Size Options -- Small measures 64W x 18D x 32.25H inches at 29 pounds, while Large offers 64W x 18D x 31.5H inches at 32 pounds, letting you match sofa height or entryway proportions.
- Three Finish Choices -- Natural raffia shows organic cream and tan tones, Blue adds coastal sophistication, and White creates a crisp modern look.
- 18-Inch Depth -- This narrow console table for hallway or behind-couch placement fits most spaces without overwhelming the room or blocking pathways.
Where Does a Raffia Console Table Work Best?
