White Console Tables

White console table sizes and placement

A white console table should fit the wall or sofa it serves with space to spare at each end. Widths here run 36 to 63.4 inches, depths 11.6 to 15.8 inches and heights 29.5 to 32.1 inches.

White keeps a narrow entry or hallway feeling open and bright, and it pairs easily with wood floors, gray walls and brass or black hardware. Behind a sofa, pick a table at or just below the height of the sofa back.

White console table with storage

A white console table with storage keeps entry clutter out of sight, and most models here have drawers and open shelves. Some add cabinet doors for larger items.

Shelves suit baskets, shoes and books, while drawers hold keys, mail and chargers. A white finish shows scuffs near the floor, so baskets on the lower shelf help protect it.

White wood console table construction

A white wood console table here is built from MDF panels with a white finish, and most add solid wood parts such as solid pine or solid acacia.

Some models also use a metal or iron frame. Check each listing's construction line to see which parts are solid wood and which are panels.

Antique white console table finishes

An antique white console table has a softer, warmer white that suits farmhouse and traditional rooms, and several models here use antique white or distressed finishes.

Brighter painted whites suit modern rooms, and select designs add an oval shape with fluted details.

Modern white console table care

A modern white console table stays clean looking with regular light care. Dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe marks with a cloth barely dampened with water and mild soap, then dry right away.

Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners that can dull a painted finish, and use felt pads and coasters under lamps, vases and drinks.
