Fluted Console Tables

Fluted console table design

A fluted console table uses rows of vertical grooves, called fluting, to add texture and catch light across its surface. Fluting reads as both classic and current, so it fits modern, farmhouse and traditional rooms.

Because fluting is textured, it looks best where light hits it from the side, such as near a window or under a lamp. Some designs pair the fluting with an oval shape.

Fluted console table with storage and drawers

Each model here is a fluted console table with storage, and most include drawers for keys, mail and chargers. Some add open shelves for baskets, shoes or books.

Check the drawer count and interior space on each listing, and choose a model with shelves if you need room for larger items near the door.

63-inch fluted console table and other sizes

A 63-inch fluted console table is the longest size here, made for a wide wall or the back of a full-size sofa. Widths run 37 to 63 inches, depths 13 to 17.7 inches and heights 29.8 to 33.5 inches.

Compact models suit a small entry beside the door. Behind a sofa, the table should sit at or just below the sofa back and run no longer than the sofa.

Fluted wood console table construction

A fluted wood console table here is built with MDF panels, and some models add solid pine, solid birch or other solid wood parts.

Select models add a metal or iron frame or glass details. Check each listing's construction line to see which parts are solid wood and which are panels, and dust the grooves with a soft brush or a dry cloth.

Black fluted console table and other finishes

A black fluted console table shows off its grooves through light and shadow, and brown, black and natural finishes are the most common here.

Blue, cherry, cream, gold, white and orange finishes are also available, and some models use a painted or distressed look.
