Console Tables with Drawers

An entryway console earns its place by hiding what should not be on show. Keys, post and dog leads go into the drawer, and the top stays clear for a lamp and a bowl. The drawer fronts here are cut from the same board as the surrounding apron, so the grain carries across the face when the drawer is closed.

Widths are 30, 34, 38 and 42 inches, all 12 inches deep and 32 high. Depth is the number to watch in a hallway. Twelve inches leaves a walkway clear in most corridors, and 32 inches of height clears a radiator and sits under a mirror comfortably. Drawer counts differ across the range, from a single wide drawer to a bank of four. Two drawers suit a household that wants a split between post and keys. A four drawer bank is closer to a hall chest and takes gloves, chargers and the things that otherwise pile up.

One thing to know: solid wood drawers are cut with a small seasonal clearance, so they run freely in humid months rather than sticking. Your console arrives in parts, with the top, legs and drawer case wrapped separately, which protects the edges and lowers freight. Printed instructions are in the crate and email support is there if you need it. Free worldwide delivery, and 30-day returns.
