Gallery Direct Avento Console Table

Placed against a wall, Avento has the kind of presence that comes from proportion rather than bulk. The mirrored shelf below adds another level for books or decorative pieces, but it also helps the table sit more lightly in the room by catching light and reflection near the floor. That makes Avento feel brighter and less solid than a standard console, while the mix of bronze-toned metal and glass keeps the overall look crisp and contemporary.

Glass across the top keeps the surface visually spare, which suits styling pieces particularly well, and the mirrored shelf below changes the whole character of the design. Instead of reading as a standard two-tier console, it picks up light and reflection from the room, giving the lower section more brightness and making the piece feel more composed. That combination of bronze-toned metal, glass and mirrored detail gives Avento a contemporary look with a more polished edge, so it works especially well where a console table needs to feel decorative as well as useful.
