This console table looks good from all angles. It’s 48″ wide and only 17″ deep so it would be perfect for a TV console, an entry table or a sofa table. It could be used in a bedroom for clothes if you have a shallow area and need to optimize storage. Or, modify the woodworking plans to make it deeper, taller, wider or whatever your heart desires.
