Materials

Wood: Wood console tables are durable and feature a unique natural grain. Wood comes in a variety of tones and stains, so it will be no problem finding a match for your decor style.

Metal: A metal material is a versatile alternative for a console table because it comes in various different finishes such as steel or iron to match pre-existing accents already used in your hardware or lighting. Metal is also very durable and long-lasting.

Glass/Mirrored: A reflective surface on the table top or even drawers helps to make spaces appear larger. Fingerprints and smudges can also be cleaned up quickly to keep your console table looking brand new.

Marble/Granite: Marble or granite tables are a great option for high-traffic areas of the house. These heavy materials are resilient against accidental bumps to help keep your breakable items from toppling off.Concrete: Outfit your outdoor entertaining spaces or patio kitchen with a concrete console table that’s stylish enough for serving while being able to withstand all kinds of weather.

Slate/Stone: Warp-resistant materials like slate and stone give console tables a polished finish without sacrificing fortitude or durability. Whether your style is art deco or modern farmhouse, there are several slate/stone tables that elevate the design of your space without the high-maintenance care.

Plastic/Acrylic: Plastic and acrylic console tables are favorable because they weigh less than glass and stone, but are still durable with a weight capacity of up to 300 lbs. – and plastic won’t shatter if it breaks. Contemporary and easy to clean, the transparent material helps make your area look bigger.

Leather/Faux Leather: Leather or faux leather (vegan friendly) console tables incorporate both elements of color and texture to your space. Patterns like crocodile or shagreen add a chic and sophisticated quality to your entire room.
