Know before you buy
The table measures 27-1/4 inches in length, 17-1/4 inches in width, and stands 33 inches tall.
The top is crafted from flame veneered and morado crossbanded wood, which provides a beautiful, textured finish. While it is durable, it is a decorative statement piece, so we recommend using coasters to protect the wood grain from moisture and heat.
The base is constructed from cast metal, providing a solid, weighted foundation for the table. The starfish design ensures the weight is distributed evenly, making it stable for standard console table placement.
The Gilt Grotto Accent Console Table typically arrives fully assembled or with minimal attachment required for the top. Please check your specific delivery packaging, but it is designed to be ready for placement shortly after unboxing.
This table serves as a high-impact statement piece that works well in eclectic, maximalist, or traditional interiors. Its Renaissance-inspired design pairs particularly well with neutral walls where the intricate gilt metal and wood textures can stand out.
