Console Table

If you're looking for a versatile piece of furniture that can be used in a number of different rooms, a console table is it. One of the most common spots for it is an entryway, which is why it is sometimes called an entryway table—you will also find it behind a sofa, in which case it's called a sofa table. Most often made from wood or metal, it can have a glass top or shelves, and some feature drawers and cabinets, while others only have a top surface.
