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 12-18 inches deep and 28-36 inches tall. Unlike dining or coffee tables, console tables serve decorative display and light storage rather than active use, making them ideal for hallways, entryways, and behind seating arrangements.
What You Get With the Black Marble Top Rectangular Console Table
- 60-Inch Black Marble Top -- Glossy surface with natural creamy undertones and gray-white veining that hides water spots better than white marble.
- Antiqued Nickel Sled Base -- Curved metal base with crescent cutaways adds architectural detail and coordinates with warm or cool metal accents.
- Narrow 17-Inch Depth -- Fits perfectly behind standard sofas while leaving walkway space between table and wall.
- Open Storage Design -- No drawers or doors means easy access for baskets underneath the 31-inch height.
