What is a console table?
The furniture industry calls this piece of furniture by different names, depending on its usage. A console table is a narrow and tall table that is typically placed against a wall in a hallway, entryway, or living room. Console tables have been around for centuries and were originally used as a decorative piece of furniture to display ornate vases, sculptures, and other decorative items. Today, console tables are used for a variety of purposes, from displaying family photos and artwork to storing everyday items like keys and mail. Putting a console table, for example, behind a couch, it becomes a Sofa Table… Silly, we know, we just call them console tables.

What is a good size for an entryway table?
The size of your entryway table will depend on the size of your entryway and how you plan to use the table. In general, entryway tables should be no wider than the doorway and no deeper than 18 inches, so they don’t take up too much space. However, if you have a larger entryway, you may be able to go a bit bigger. At Dovetails and Stitches, we are happy to help you size the perfect console table for your home.
While an entryway table can be a great addition to your home, it’s not a necessity. If you have a small entryway or limited space, you may prefer to skip the table altogether and focus on other decorative elements, like a mirror or wall art. However, if you do decide to add an entryway table, it can help you create a more organized and welcoming space.
