Where should I place a console table?

They also function well in living rooms beneath a mirror or window, providing a convenient display surface for lamps and small objects.

Their narrow profile when closed makes them practical alternatives to purpose-built console furniture.

How do I care for mahogany veneer?

What is a marble top table used for?
