Wood console tables are a bit different than most tables in that it is a standard table with a small cabinet below the table’s surface for storage. Narrow console tables sometimes come with glass doors in the front to allow you to show off collectibles and they are perfect for filling just about any spot in any room. The most popular narrow console table is made of wood and is a very common piece of furniture in many homes.
There are several things to consider before purchasing a narrow console table. The first is whether to go with wood or a more modern style. If you choose wood you will have to decide whether you want a dark or light wood and what type of wood you want. You should also think about how many shelves you want inside and whether or not you want glass doors. If you are using the narrow console table in the bathroom to store extra towels or cleaning supplies a solid door is perfect. If however you want to display a collection and are placing the narrow console table in a common area like the living or family room you should probably choose a glass door. Glass doors can be clear, frosted or tinted and you can even find stained glass doors.
You can buy narrow console tables in either mission style or butler style and most dealers will add a hutch as an option. They are easiest to find at your local furniture store but the internet also has a very good collection available. The only problem with the internet is that some narrow console tables are quite heavy, especially if they are made of a heavy dark oak with glass doors and the shipping charges can be quite high. Unless you are dealing with an online distributor who offers free domestic shipping you should probably not buy online.
