Frequently Asked Questions About Wooden Consoles

What exactly is a console, and what is it used for?

A narrow, tall sideboard designed to be placed against the wall in high-traffic areas: 25 to 35 cm deep, 75 to 85 cm tall, and as wide as the wall allows. In the entryway, it serves as an entryway station for keys, mail, and gloves; in hallways and living rooms, it provides a decorative surface where a standard piece of furniture wouldn’t fit.

Where else can you put a console table besides the entryway?

Behind a freestanding sofa, using the backrest as a functional surface; in wide hallways, breaking up the tunnel effect with a place to rest and a decorative element; under a high window; or in the bedroom as a makeshift vanity. Its minimal depth makes it suitable for almost any wall with 30 cm of free space. Here are some styling ideas for decorating a wooden console table.

How do you care for a solid wood console table?

Oak care routine: Use a wrung-out damp cloth and natural oil once or twice a year, paying special attention to the surface, which bears the brunt of the furniture’s wear and tear. If the piece is slender with tall legs, check its stability and consider discreetly securing it to the wall in homes with children or high-traffic areas.

What should I hang above the console?

A mirror is the answer in 90 percent of cases: it serves as a place to check your appearance in the entryway and reflects light throughout the hallway. The wooden mirrors with oak frames that match the console table create a vertical composition that adds order to any hallway wall.

A console table or a shoe rack for a small entryway?

If you can only have one: the one that solves your actual problem. Entrances cluttered with shoes call for a shoe rack; entrances with keys and mail call for a console table. The good news is that there are middle-ground solutions: solid wood shoe racks with drop-down shelves offer the same countertop space as a console table, with built-in shoe storage. The oak we use is solid, FSC-certified, and manufactured in Europe.
