Narrow Console Table 800mm Wide by 250mm Deep in Solid Walnut

A 800mm console at 250mm deep, sized for a slim console at 250mm deep, for a corridor where a normal sideboard would be a hazard. Two doors, an adjustable shelf behind each and a cable notch in the back panel.

Everything we sell is under 800mm wide. That is not a style, it is the constraint the whole range is designed around, because it is the measurement that decides whether a piece of furniture works in a small flat. Eight hundred millimetres is roughly the width of a standard internal door, the width of the gap most people have between a sofa and a wall, and the point past which a piece stops reading as part of the room and starts reading as an obstacle. Designing to it is harder than designing without it and it is the only interesting thing about furniture for small spaces.

What you get

• The carcass and doors, flat packed in two cartons
• Two adjustable shelves with steel supports
• Handles in your chosen finish, or the push to open kit
• Levelling feet and felt pads
• An anti tip strap, which you do not have to use
• Hex key, spanner and printed instructions

Assembly

Flat packed, with a hex key, a spanner and printed instructions in the box. Fittings are cam locks and threaded steel inserts rather than chipboard screws, which is what lets a piece be taken apart and reassembled without the joints going loose. We reckon on three moves and have tested to ten.

If you are renting

Freestanding, no wall fixing needed and no holes in anybody's plaster. An anti tip strap is in the box if you want it and there is nothing to make good if you never use it. Felt pads are fitted to every foot as standard, because the other way to lose a deposit is a scratch across a floor you did not lay.
