Use Console Tables as Small Writing Desks

Console tables like the South Hampton Console Table can really get you out of a bind if you need a narrow writing desk. They’re long but not very deep which makes them convenient for tight spaces.

The actual dimensions of the South Hampton Console Table are 16″w x 47″l x 29″h. Note that the height is incorrect on some online store websites.

You want one that will resemble a real writing desk as much as possible. Height is also very important here. You want to make sure that you get a console table that’s around the same height as a real desk or you might find it feels unnatural when you sit at it later.

Many writing desks are around 30-35″H. So the console table should mimic that height range so you’ll be comfortable working at the table.
