The Console Table: A Versatile Addition to Every Room
In the EntrywayA console table is a popular choice for entryways, providing an accessible and practical spot to place keys, handbags, and other daily essentials. It also serves as a display area for decorative items like vases, photo frames, and knick-knacks, setting the mood of the home and adding a welcoming touch.
In the Living RoomA console can help divide a large living room into distinct areas, like an entertainment zone and a reading nook. Often used to display decorative items, books, sculptures, or fresh flower arrangements, a console table adds a personalized touch to the main gathering space.
In the BedroomIn the bedroom, a console can double as a vanity for getting ready or as a storage spot for phones and tablets. It can also serve as a stand for a television.

Choosing Your Console Table: Naturally, Wood and Design!
Wooden, designer console tables are versatile and aesthetically pleasing, bringing elegance and warmth to any interior. The combination of solid wood and design offered by Mon Petit Meuble Français results in visually delightful console tables that stand the test of time. Solid wood is durable, ensuring you can enjoy your furniture for many years. These consoles are built to last!
Scandinavian-Style ConsolesThe Scandinavian-style consoles available on our site use light, soft wood. Ash, which grows in France, is ideal for this purpose, with two varieties: the subtly gray olive ash and the more premium white ash, prized for its beautiful grain and ideal hue. It enhances the contrast between the light wood tones and the accent colors on the belt and top of the table legs in the ÉGÉE collection.
Wood Blended with Other MaterialsWood can also be combined with other materials such as metal, glass, leather, or stone, giving the console a more industrial, modern, or minimalist aesthetic. The warmth of wood can be either accentuated or softened depending on the secondary material chosen.
Customize Your ConsoleYou can choose colors to harmonize with your walls, floors, or existing furniture, and adjust dimensions to fit the available space. Height can also be tailored to its intended purpose: a height of 75–77 cm is ideal for working, while 90 cm is suited for display purposes. A console at 110 cm functions well as a standing table or casual bar for drinks.

Our standard heights are 75 cm and 90 cm, with the option to request a 110 cm console. We offer twelve standard lengths, from 70 cm to 180 cm.
