How to Choose a Solid Wood Console Table for Your Entryway

How to Choose a Solid Wood Console Table for Your Entryway

Quick answer: For an entryway, choose a console about 30–32 inches high and 10–16 inches deep, no wider than about two-thirds of the wall. Behind a sofa, match the sofa back height and keep it slightly shorter than the sofa. Solid wood with a sealed finish handles daily keys, bags and plants.

Size and depth

Narrow hallways need a slim 10–12 inch depth; wider entries can take 14–16 inches.

Wood and finish

Live-edge slabs add character; a sealed finish protects against water rings from plants and keys.
