I have been wanting to add a console table at the entryway for some time now. It always feels like something’s missing by the front door. I told Darren that I need a place for incoming and outgoing mail so that they are not all over the kitchen island counter. Plus when our catsitter comes while we are away, there is a dedicated place for her to pick up the mail key and drop off the mail as well.
It took us a while to find the perfect table. At first, we were looking at the ones with drawers, but all of the ones we have seen both in-store or online are not of very good quality and their prices are also quite high. After much consideration, we decided to also get it from Restoration Hardware since our membership doesn’t expire till next June. Might as well take advantage of it while it lasts. We also ordered 2 additional ottomans – one for the entryway and another one for the living room which will be ready in December as we selected a fabric that is not their stock color.
We love how this console table actually matches our Balustrade salvaged wood coffee table. They are made of the same wood and color. The natural wood grain looks amazing, and Darren applied a coat of clear Briwax to all of our tables.
No two tables are exactly the same which is what we like! Nothing beats solid wood.
