They are essentially the same narrow table used in different spots. An entryway table catches keys and mail right by the door, while a sofa table sits behind the couch to hold a lamp. Either way, the piece itself stays long and slim. If you need a surface beside the sofa arm instead of behind it, take a look at our end and side tables.
A typical console table measures around 36 to 48 inches wide, 12 to 18 inches deep, and 28 to 32 inches high. For narrow hallways, stick to the shallower end of that depth range. When placing one behind a sofa, aim for a height close to the top of the sofa back so table lamps do not overpower the seating area. Always check the product specifications for exact measurements. If you need a tighter footprint, explore our small console tables.
Consoles provide a slim display surface, whereas sideboards are deeper with built-in cabinets or wide drawers, perfect for a dining room. If you want to hide away serving pieces, a sideboard is the better option. If you just need a spot by the door for a lamp and a catch-all bowl, stick with a console. Browse our sideboards and buffets when storage is your main priority.
It mostly depends on the space you are trying to fill. An end table works well next to the sofa, while a coffee table belongs right in front of it to give you an easy-to-reach surface from your seat. A console table is ideal placed along a wall or behind the sofa back. If you need a low table for your seating area, browse our coffee tables.
Leave a couple of inches between the back of the sofa and the table to prevent the frame from scraping the fabric. Ideally, the tabletop should sit at or just below the top of the sofa. A simple lamp and a single tray are usually all you need on top. If your sofa is set against a wall, try placing the console table in the entryway instead, where a bottom shelf can easily store shoes or a storage basket.
