Chesters, Consoles and Side Tables — A Complete Storage Furniture Guide
Every home needs storage furniture that does not look like an afterthought. Chesters, console tables, and side tables solve practical storage needs while adding character to a room.
What Is the Difference?
- Chester drawers: Multi-drawer storage furniture, typically used in bedrooms for clothing, accessories, or linens. Taller and deeper than a console.
- Console tables: Slim, often rectangular tables designed for entryways and hallways. Usually shallower than a chester, sometimes with one or two drawers.
- Side tables: Smaller accent pieces placed beside sofas, armchairs, or beds — primarily for surface space rather than storage.
Kraft Store's Chesters, Consoles & Side Tables collection covers all three, handcrafted from solid Sheesham wood.
What Finishes Are Available?
- Natural polish: Shows the warm Sheesham wood grain, suits traditional and transitional interiors.
- Dark walnut: A richer, more formal tone.
- Hand-painted chalk finish: Soft, matte painted designs in white, kidney shapes, or custom colours — each piece individually painted.
- Metal art accents: Black finishes combined with metal detailing for a bolder, more contemporary look.
Where to Place Each Piece
A console table works best in an entryway, paired with a mirror frame above it and perhaps a Camel Skin Lamp on top. A chester suits a bedroom corner for additional storage. Side tables go anywhere extra surface space is needed — beside seating, in a hallway nook, or as a plant stand.
