Handcrafted Console Table, made to order in solid wood.

See all Console Table

Quick Answer: The best console tables are solid wood, sized to your wall, and honest about storage. Ashdeco makes handcrafted solid wood console tables from $1,225 to $2,330 in this guide. For a small entryway, pick the Curved Console with Drawer at $1,345. For storage, pick the Hidden Storage console at $2,330. For a long wall, pick the Tree Branch Base console up to 86" wide.

What Makes the Best Console Table?

A console table sits against a wall in an entryway, hallway or behind a sofa. The best one fits the space first. Looks and storage come second.

  • Solid wood, not a thin veneer over a hollow core
  • A width that suits the wall
  • A depth that leaves room to walk past
  • Storage only if you need it
  • A finish you can wipe clean

Ashdeco's pages say its tables are solid wood. They do not name the species, thickness or weight limit. Ask Ashdeco about those before you order.

How to Choose the Best Console Table for an Entryway

Match the Length to the Wall

Ashdeco's console table guide suggests about two-thirds of the wall width. For a 60" wall, that is 42" to 48". For a 72" wall, it is 48" to 60".

Check the Depth

The guide gives depths by placement:

  • Narrow hallway: 10" to 12"
  • Standard hallway: 12" to 14"
  • Entryway: 14" to 18"
  • Behind a sofa: 10" to 14"

Most tables in this guide are 12" deep, so they suit hallways and sofas best.

Check the Height

The guide gives 28" to 34", with 30" to 32" as the sweet spot. Behind a sofa, match the sofa back or stay 0" to 2" lower. Most tables here are 30" high.

Decide on Storage

Choose drawers to hide keys and mail. Choose an open shelf for baskets. Choose no storage if you want a clean top for a lamp and art.

Don't miss

Where to Put a Console Table

  • Entryway: place it by the door for keys and mail.
  • Hallway: choose a narrow depth and keep walking space clear.
  • Behind a sofa: match the sofa height and keep the depth shallow.
  • Under a window: use the 28" to 32" height range from Ashdeco's guide.

In a narrow hallway, Ashdeco's guides suggest 24" to 36" of walking space. Read its narrow console table depth guide before you order.

Installation and Care

Ashdeco's pages say the tables should stand against a wall on a level floor. Some pages recommend anchoring to the wall. One includes wall brackets and screws.

Respect the weight limit for each piece. The pages do not give a figure, so ask Ashdeco. Wipe the top with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.

Common Mistakes

Buying a Table That Is Too Deep

A deep table blocks a hallway. Check the walking space before you pick a depth.

Ignoring the Height

The Natural Slab table is 18" high. Behind a sofa, a taller table can block the view.

Assuming There Is Storage

Some pages mention storage without describing it. Read the page and ask Ashdeco.

Skipping the Wall Fixing

Ask Ashdeco whether your table needs wall anchoring, especially with children or pets.

FAQ: Best Console Tables

What is the best console table for an entryway?

Choose solid wood that fits your wall and leaves room to walk. For a small entryway, the 32" Curved Console with Drawer costs $1,345.

What is the purpose of a console table?

A console table adds a surface and light storage in a tight space. It holds keys, mail, a lamp or art without crowding the room.

What is the difference between a console table and a sofa table?

They are the same type of piece. A sofa table is a console table placed behind a sofa, so it is usually shallow.

How tall should a console table be?

Ashdeco's guides give 28" to 34", with 30" to 32" as the sweet spot. Behind a sofa, match the sofa back or stay 0" to 2" lower.

How wide should a console table be?

Ashdeco suggests about two-thirds of the wall width. For a 60" wall, that is 42" to 48". Leave space on both sides.

How deep should an entryway console table be?

Narrow hallways need 10" to 12" and wider entryways can take 14" to 18". Leave at least 30" of walking space.

What should you put on a console table?

Keep it to a lamp, a tray for keys, a plant or a few books. Ashdeco suggests 5 to 7 items and says fewer than 3 looks unfinished.

How high should a mirror hang above a console table?

Ashdeco says the bottom edge of the mirror or art should sit 4" to 8" above the table surface.

Can you put a console table behind a sofa?

Yes. Choose a depth of 10" to 14" and a height at or just below the sofa back. A 12" deep table fits well.

Should a console table have storage?

It depends on the spot. Entryways benefit from drawers for keys and mail. Behind a sofa, a clear top may suit you better.

What is the best wood for a console table?

Ashdeco's rustic entryway guide suggests acacia or oak for busy homes and walnut for quieter foyers. Product pages do not name the species, so ask Ashdeco.

Do console tables need to be anchored to the wall?

Some do. The Flowing Live Edge page recommends professional anchoring. The Tree Branch Bookshelf table ships with wall brackets. Ask Ashdeco about yours.

How much does a solid wood console table cost?

The eight tables in this guide cost $1,225 to $2,330. Each table has one price for all sizes.

How much weight can a console table hold?

The product pages give no figure. They say to respect the recommended weight limit for each piece. Ask Ashdeco before you load it heavily.

Can I customize a console table?

Yes, on several tables. Pages list custom thickness, length, depth, wood tone and base design, some for an extra fee.

How long does delivery take?

Product pages estimate 12-21 business days in total, with free shipping. Photo approval can extend this.

Can I return a console table if I change my mind?

No. Made-to-order pieces cannot be returned for a change of mind. Damaged, defective or incorrect items are covered for 30 days.
