The console collection
Strong, simple lines and nothing else. The Elston sets a slim top on an open frame of interlocking rectangles, and at 25.4cm deep it is the slimmest console in our range.

Instead of four legs, the Elston stands on rectangles. At each end, a rectangular frame interlocks with an upright, and a long open frame, one rail under the top and one at the floor, ties the two ends together. The space beneath the top stays open and the wall shows through. It is architectural without being heavy, and the whole design is in the frame.
The grey oak effect is soft and quietly natural, and suits pale walls and linen. Warm white keeps a bright hall bright and lets the shape do the talking. Black is the boldest: against a light wall, the frame reads almost as a line drawing.
At 25.4cm deep, the Elston is the slimmest console in our range, which matters most where space is tightest: a narrow hallway, a landing, or the gap behind a sofa. Its product pages suggest a hallway, a living room or behind a sofa. It is 139.7cm long, so it holds a lamp at one end and a vase or a stack of books at the other. For ideas, read how to style a console table.
The details
Its product pages give 139.7cm wide, 25.4cm deep and 74.93cm high, the same for all three finishes.
Yes, at 25.4cm deep it is the slimmest in our range at the time of writing, which makes it a good fit for a narrow hallway or behind a sofa with little room to spare.
MDF, in a grey oak, warm white or black wood-effect finish. It needs assembling when it arrives.
Grey oak is the softest and suits pale walls and natural textures. Warm white keeps a bright hall bright. Black turns the geometric frame into a strong outline, best against a light wall.
The Hampstead: a 140cm rustic brown console on two rounded, fluted supports, with a 4cm-thick top, a lower shelf and a slim 30cm depth for hallways and behind sofas.
The Holborn: a capsule-shaped console with two fluted sliding doors, an open centre compartment, a full lower shelf and slim black metal legs, in walnut or black wood effect.
How to choose a console table to sit behind a sofa: how high it should be against the sofa back, how long against the sofa, how deep to leave a path behind it, and which of our consoles suit a two-seater or a three-seater.
