Marble Flemish Console

A slab of marble this thick does not ask the pine for permission.

This Flemish console pairs barndoor pine with a marble top. The base is pale and frankly rustic, with visible knots, checks and square pegs. A single drawer with a round wooden knob sits in the center of the apron. Four heavy baluster legs stand on blocks, joined by a flat cross-stretcher low to the floor. The thick, pale top has beveled edges that overhang on all sides. Consoles stand against the wall in halls and entryways, giving a place to set lamps, keys and post. Forty-seven inches long, 25 deep and 30 high.

One drawer. Keep only what matters in it.
