The first thing that needs to be established before going ahead to outline the different steps involved in getting the best table is to actually define what the terminology, "best", is. This is due to the simple fact that we are all wired differently as individuals and also have different backgrounds, tastes, and desires. Logically, the best console table for me will be different from the best for you. So how do we actually ascertain a universally acceptable definition of the best one?
If you're in the process of redecorating your home, you'll find that you have a lot more choice than you had years ago. If you have young children, you may want to get practical furniture that is sturdy, durable and won't show stains. Neutral colors go with almost any style or color of furniture, as does hardwood or laminate flooring. Hardwood and wood laminate flooring is very popular today and can be purchased quite reasonably in home improvement stores.

The shape of a console table is something that shouldn't be overlooked. Most are designed as straight squares or rectangles, but other tables are designed as half-circles which can be placed up against the back of a wall. If you choose the half-circle style, make sure there's going to be ample room to walk by still. Some people place large console tables in the hallway only to find out they can't comfortably walk by them.
Although wood gives a room a rich look, you don't want the wood to be too dark in color as this will make the room appear smaller. If you have wood flooring, rugs are a great accent that take away some of the darkness and bring color to the room as well as make it more inviting. Console tables can then be the same color as the flooring, or a lighter color. You may want just one table for an accent. If you're using them for a purpose, such as media storage, you can get a larger one. Another idea is to get tables with glass tops. These look very elegant, while complementing the wood on the tables. These may not be appropriate, however, if you have young children.
Consoles are constructed out of many different materials including natural wood, stained or painted wood, metal, and glass. By far the most popular type is a wood console table with a decorative element like fluted legs, or a small amount of carving along the bottom edge of the rails. Most tables are made with four legs supporting the top, while some make an interesting design statement using two legs on the rear and one centrally located leg in the front. This three legged table is usually small in stance and design, and makes for a gorgeous addition to a more narrow hallway. Always check to see if the manufacture designed in a drawer for storage of car keys and the like. This hall table or console table with drawer make for a great addition.
