Buying Guide

Narrow console tables introduce functionality into even the unlikeliest of places in a home. Be it the hallway, near the entrance or in an odd alcove that doesn’t have the room for any other furniture fixture, it will allow you to maximize space utility.

And when it’s made of glass, it adds an unmatched sophistication and elegance to the décor. From contemporary homes to classic décor themes, glass console tables fit right in.

Here’s a little buying guide that helps you understand the details to look out for while shopping for one of these dainty furniture pieces.

How to measure for a narrow glass console table?

Leave at least 8 to 12 inches above the glass top and an equal number on both sides. Keep in mind that the average width of a standard-sized hallway is just 40-inches. Any table wider than 6-inches will be overkill.

If the table has drawers (very unlikely in a glass table), you will need room to open them comfortably. Plus, you will need to account for the extra room needed for your guests or home users to walk around the table without bruising their shins.

What designs of narrow glass console tables are there to choose from?

While the narrow dimensions of the table might somewhat limit the storage, there’s no dearth of styles and finishes to choose from.

Pick a table made entirely out of glass, legs and all, which creates an illusion of a bigger space. It doesn’t absorb light and can even be placed in a dark, unused corner.
Or pick one with metallic legs in a chrome finish to match a contemporary décor theme.
A glass top table with wooden legs and frame creates a rustic, chic appearance and these can have drawers and open shelving for storage.
For an antique, art deco inspired look, pick a table with a slag glass top.
You can also accessorize the narrow glass console table with a matching mirror, a floor lamp, a vase or buy these tables in sets of two for a long but narrow space.

What types of glass are used for making furniture?

There are three types of glass that are used for making furniture.

There’s regular glass which is inexpensive, but extremely fragile. A definite ‘no’ for a household with kids and pets.
There’s annealed glass, which is like a middle ground between regular glass and tempered glass. It is less expensive than the latter. But can shatter into large and sharp shards. Once again, not the best of choices for a busy household.
Tempered or toughened glass is more expensive than the other two. But is possibly the best pick for furniture like console tables.

What's the average weight capacity of glass tables?

When it’s a glass top surface, you have to be extremely careful about the weight of the things you park on it. For example, if you intend to use the narrow glass console table as a TV stand, ensure that you are aware of its weight-bearing capacity. Similarly, if it will be propped against a wall in your study and will accommodate your computer, laptop and other knick-knacks, stick to the weight limit and do not go overboard.

Remember that tempered glass is up to 7 times harder to break than regular glass. It is also regarded as the safest choice because when it breaks, it will shatter into small pebbles that pose less of a danger to your family.
