Walnut Console Tables

Modern walnut console table styles

A walnut console table brings warmth to an entry without the heaviness of a dark wood. The modern shapes here keep their lines clean: a top with waterfall corners, a fluted front under a lacquered finish, a slim table that stands on a single loop at each side, and another lifted by a curved beam between the legs. Turned pine legs and distressed, weathered tops lean farmhouse instead.

Walnut console table with storage and drawers

Storage varies more than size. Some tables hide everything behind drawers, with up to three across the front, while others leave it open on one or two lower shelves for baskets and books. A few mix both: the 63 inch three-drawer table adds two open shelves below, each rated at 66 pounds. Tops are rated from 110 to 230 pounds where stated.

Narrow walnut console table sizes

Widths run from 31.5 to 63 inches and depths from 11.8 to 15.9 inches, so even the deepest leaves a hallway clear. The 11.8 inch deep tables, at 62.2 and 63 inches wide, suit a long, tight wall or the back of a sofa. Heights sit between 29.9 and 35.4 inches, close to the back of most sofas.

Walnut half moon console table for small entries

A half moon, or demilune, top has a flat back against the wall and a curved front with no corners to catch a hip. The 31.5 inch half moon table holds two storage compartments over an open shelf, with footpads that stop sliding, and the 39 inch version adds a drawer on turned solid pine legs.

Walnut console table finish and care

Every table here wears a walnut finish rather than solid walnut. Most are wood panels, some on a metal frame, while the 47.2 inch two-shelf table and the 48 inch three-tier table are solid wood. Dust with a soft dry cloth, wipe spills quickly, and set plants and drinks on coasters to protect the finish.
