Black Console Tables

Black console table sizes and entryway fit

A black console table should leave clear floor around it and sit near sofa-back height if it goes behind a couch. Widths here run 35.4 to 66.9 inches, depths 13 to 17.7 inches and heights 29.8 to 33.6 inches.

Shorter models fit beside a front door or in a hallway, and the longest ones fill a wide wall or back a full-size sofa. Black also grounds a light wall or pale floor.

Black console table with drawers and storage

A black console table with drawers keeps keys, mail and chargers out of sight, and most models here have drawers or other storage. Some add open shelves or cabinet doors below.

Select models build in USB charging, which turns the table into a charging spot by the door.

Black wood console table construction

A black wood console table here is usually built from MDF or engineered wood panels with a black finish, and some models combine solid pine, solid birch or other solid wood with MDF panels.

Select models are solid wood, some use wood veneer over MDF, and some add a metal or iron frame. Check each listing's construction line to see which parts are solid wood and which are panels.

Black metal console table and glass details

A black metal console table pairs a black top or case with a metal or iron frame for an industrial look, and some models here are built that way.

Select models combine glass with black and silver accents, and select two-tone designs pair black with brown.

Black modern console table styles and care

A black modern console table relies on shape and texture rather than trim, and some models here have fluted fronts, oval tops or a sculptural base. Distressed and antique black finishes suit farmhouse and traditional rooms.

Black shows dust and fingerprints quickly, so dust often with a soft dry cloth and wipe marks with a barely damp cloth, then dry it. Use felt pads under lamps and decor to protect the finish.
