Where should I place a console table?

These tables find their natural home in entrance halls and narrow corridors where floor space is limited. They provide a convenient drop-off point for keys and post. Larger entrance areas can accommodate freestanding centre tables which allow movement around all sides while displaying lamps or floral arrangements.
