Gladden Gold Console Table

With a depth of 16.5 inches, this table provides a generous surface for lamps and decor while remaining compact enough for most foyers. For those in smaller urban spaces, our spatial experts recommend ensuring at least 3 feet of clearance in any walking path to maintain easy flow. The oval shape is particularly helpful in tight quarters, as the lack of sharp corners makes it easier to navigate around in high-traffic areas.

Beyond its contemporary aesthetic, an oval table is a strategic choice for family homes. The rounded edges provide a safer environment for children and pets compared to rectangular tables with sharp corners. Additionally, the two-tier design—featuring an ebony top and a clear glass shelf—allows for layered styling, where you can showcase taller items like lamps on top while keeping books or baskets organized below.

To preserve the elegance of the gold metal frame and ebony tabletop, our care guides recommend regular dusting with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. For deeper cleaning of the glass shelf or metal surfaces, a light solution of mild soap and water is best. We advise against using harsh chemical cleaners or glass sprays containing ammonia, as these can degrade the gold finish over time.

While these terms are often used interchangeably, a sofa table is specifically scaled to sit behind a couch, whereas a console table is a versatile accent piece used in entryways or hallways. This table’s height of 29.75 inches makes it an ideal fit for both roles; it is tall enough to serve as a convenient landing zone in a foyer but low enough to sit flush with or slightly below the back of a standard sofa for a seamless look.

For proper visual balance, designers recommend following the "2/3 rule"—a table should occupy roughly two-thirds of the sofa's total length. With a width of 49 inches, this table is perfectly proportioned for sofas ranging from 72 to 75 inches long. Following this rule ensures the furniture looks intentional and integrated rather than undersized or overwhelming.

This table is built with a sturdy metal frame and a curved leg design that provides a stable foundation. Because it features a glass lower shelf and an ebony top, the weight is distributed well for daily use. During assembly, we recommend ensuring all hardware is tightened securely to maintain long-term stability and prevent wobbling on various floor types.
