Why Everyone Needs a Console Table

Console tables are considered an essential furniture item in many homes for their multiple uses, slim profiles and variety of style options.  As you explore your choices, discover how a 30 inch console table is at exactly the right height for your everyday needs.

• If you're the type who does a lot of coming and going, you may want a console table with drawers. These drawers allow you to create a streamlined entryway where you can always place or grab your wallet, keys, glasses and other handbag or errand-running essentials.
• Other console tables serve a decorative purpose, providing you with a broad space to place trays, candles, sculpture, lamps and other art objects or mementos. Stack books on lower apron shelves or use the top as a picture rail, with frames leaned against the wall.
• These tables are also able to complement other pieces of furniture, like a bed or sofa. In living rooms, many people place a console table along the back of a sofa in a room or area with an open layout. This creates furniture design that faces you, your family or guests from any direction, so that open floor plans become multi-functional.

Table Styles to Shop Now

Since console tables are so ubiquitous, it's easy to find an exceptional variety of styles to suit your current aesthetic or transform the atmosphere in a room. You can also look for transitional styles that bridge elements from one room to another or along a hallway.

• For a modern look in an airy space, look for a 30 inch console table that includes tempered glass. This durable glass allows you to include shelving along the underside of the console table without looking bulky in a room full of other signature items.
• Farmhouse or rustic styles look great as consoles. The heft of natural wood grain, combined with beveled tops or knob handles for drawers, lets you get maximum use from your table.
• Touches of metal allow you to shift the atmosphere at home. Maybe it's time to start experimenting with industrial design or perhaps you need a cool texture to balance leather furniture or thick accent rugs.

A 30 inch console table lets you make easy changes at home while enjoying the major impact of a new piece of furniture.
