Strictly speaking, a console table is an architectural term for angled brackets used to support any kind of shelf. Currently used for any kind of high table intended to be used against a wall.
In the case of console tables for the bath, we mean lavatories made of marble, vitreous china, blended stone or fireclay which offer ample counter top surface for displaying toiletries.
Unlike pedestal lavatories, where the lavatory and matching pedestal are purchased together as a unit, console tables are sold in a variety of configurations, which allows for a complete custom look.
Sinks may be self-contained or installed in or on a custom counter top or table. A wide variety of faucet styles are available.
Console legs are available in a variety of styles and finishes, including hand-crafted iron, wood and metal.
A console table offers a unique alternative to a pedestal or counter top lavatory.
