What is a TV console table?

It is a TV unit with a lighter, table-like design, often with open shelves. Our Solid Wood TV Console Table India is one example.

How wide are your TV units front to back?

Our TV unit pages list a width of 1.5 ft with lengths of 4, 5 and 6 ft.

Is a console table cheaper?

It depends on the design and material, so compare the specifications rather than the name.

Behind a sofa, in an entrance or along a hallway wall.
