Modern Console Table

In this video, I show you how to build a modern console table. The shelves on this console table have plenty of space to display books, trinkets, accent pieces, and plants, and the minimalistic look will help make them stand out. Make this for a foyer, hallway, or living room, and it will complement most design styles.

For this console table, I used some gorgeous curly white oak as well as walnut. The contrast between the two wood types really makes this piece stand out, and the figure in the white oak adds some extra dimension to the piece. I used half-blind or stopped dados to hold the geometric shelves into place. If you decide to make this console table, you can always adjust where the shelves are to fit your books and accent pieces that you want to display!

This project was a bunch of fun. If you want plans for this woodworking project, check out the link below. And if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them in the comments. Enjoy the build video!
