Rimini, console table features

Many know the console as a technical tool used by famous DJs in nightclubs or during their parties, but when it comes to furniture, it's a small, rectangular table whose main feature is its adjustable length. Therefore, when closed, it takes up little space and is excellent as an entryway cabinet, serving as a pocket emptier and not obstructing the passageway. When opened, this piece of furniture can reach up to 300 cm. It's therefore ideal for those who always have large dinner guests and want their guests to be able to dine and converse comfortably seated. It's also versatile in terms of style, as the console can be paired with minimalist, retro, or classic or more industrial styles.

Extendable console table: types and where to place it

As you've probably already guessed, the main reason for choosing a console table is its ability to adjust its size as needed. Another characteristic is its ability to adapt to any room in the house, although there are various types of console tables for this. The first is the fixed one, the queen of the entryway, as it's used for emptying pockets and holding keys and wallets, also adding a pleasant impact to rooms with eccentric furnishings. Its side is placed against the wall, and its function remains the same. The console table, on the other hand, serves as a piece of furniture in the entryway and, if necessary, can be opened to transform into a table.

The convertible console table is ideal for an open-plan living room . It's the perfect furnishing solution for rooms where space isn't enough to accommodate a dining area. Console tables can be opened using a variety of mechanisms, including split tops, book-style openings, or additional tops installed on top of a structure, either internally or externally. This mechanism is usually the preferred one, as it instantly creates a customized worktop.

Extendable console table materials and styles in Rimini

When deciding to purchase a table, whether extendable or not, one of the key factors to consider for an informed purchase is the material it's made of. Solid wood is the ideal and most versatile solution, as it conveys the idea of sturdiness and durability over time, as well as style. In fact, this material is perfect for furnishing rustic, classic, and even modern spaces, especially if it's surrounded by carvings or decorations. For those who want to maintain a modern style and stay current, there are console tables with metal finishes and glass supports, which convey a sense of modernity and elegance.
As for the style, there are countless options, especially since a single console table can complement a variety of furnishings. However, a console table can make a difference in a luxury or retro setting, especially if you opt for a Louis XIV or shabby chic style. Here, too, the material plays a crucial role, as wood lends itself to decoration and painting more easily than metal or glass, making the whole thing much more customizable.
