Wall Console Table
Console tables are pieces of furniture that many people use in a wrong way. There are some uses that a console table is not designed for even you think that it is suitable. I will list a few common mistakes that people make when deciding the use of such a table.
Console Tables as TV stands
Many times people think that it is appropriate to use a console table as a TV stand. In my opinion this is a big mistake. Console tables may seem practical for such a use but usually they are not meant to withstand such weight. Normally the main reason why people buy such tables is for decorative purposes. This means that normally these tables are used to put a few beautiful decorative pieces on them. It is not always wrong to use it as a TV stand, but it has to be the correct console table. This means that it should be made from the correct material so that it can hold the weight of your TV and also it should be the correct size so that your TV set fits perfectly.
Console Table as a coffee table
This is probably the most common mistake people make and, for me, the most annoying. A console table has absolutely nothing to do with a coffee table. Console tables are made for completely different purposes. First, a coffee table is meant to be short. Its height usually should be at about your knees so that when you sit down at your sofa, your hands will stand higher than the table. A console table on the other hand is normally meant to have the height of a regular table. The correct height in my opinion is about the height of your waste. It is not at all comfortable to have a coffee table that is about the height of your waste in any way and the reasons are apparent.
Console Tables as a dining tables
I don’t even understand how people can make such a mistake. A dining table is meant to be at least large enough to host a dinner for 4 people. Even though console tables of that size exist, it is completely inappropriate. A console table doesn’t necessarily have to be practical and on the other hand this is the main feature of a dining table.
So there you have it. These are the most common mistakes people make when considering to buy a console table and are trying to decide how to use it. Of course one thing is true. If you do it with elegance and care, anything can look good. There is such large variety with console tables that I’m sure you’ll be able to find pieces that fit the purposes mentioned above. My opinion on the other hand is that, since there are thousands of designs for every type of table, you should search every type of table you need for your house separately. There is no need to do experiments. They are all out there waiting for you so try to find the appropriate one for each purpose. A console table is great for many purposes but my opinion is that it is not meant for the uses mentioned above.
