Broyhill Sofa Table | Console & Accent Tables
Our Attic Heirlooms sofa table brings heritage craftsmanship to contemporary living spaces. Built from solid oak and oak veneers, this console features a lower display shelf and two smooth-gliding drawers for remote controls, magazines, and everyday essentials.
Every Broyhill sofa table starts with real hardwood—we use oak, acacia, cherry, and poplar depending on the collection. Solid wood frames resist warping and provide weight-bearing strength that particle board alternatives cannot match. Our veneers wrap those frames to showcase continuous grain patterns across wide surfaces.
Dimensions & Placement Behind Your Sofa
Standard sofa heights range from 30 to 36 inches to the top of the backrest. Our sofa tables sit between 29 and 30 inches tall, positioning the tabletop just below or level with your sofa back for easy reach and visual balance. Allow 10 to 12 inches of clearance between the sofa and the wall so you can comfortably walk behind the piece when needed.
Width selection depends on your sofa’s footprint. A 48-inch console suits a standard three-seat sofa (78 to 84 inches wide), while our 54-inch Ember Grove model pairs better with sectionals or longer sofas. Depth matters in narrow rooms—16-inch models like Ember Grove save floor space, while 18-inch tables like Attic Heirlooms and Lenoir provide more surface area for lamps and décor.
Drawer Storage & Shelf Organization
Attic Heirlooms and Lenoir both feature full-extension drawer glides, meaning drawers pull completely out for access to items at the very back. We use ball-bearing mechanisms rated for 75 pounds per drawer, far exceeding the typical load of remotes, magazines, and small electronics. English dovetail joints on Lenoir drawers interlock front and side panels without glue or fasteners, a hallmark of heirloom-quality cabinetry.
Lower shelves on our sofa tables sit 8 to 10 inches off the floor, leaving room for decorative baskets or low-profile storage bins. The fixed shelf on Attic Heirlooms supports up to 40 pounds, while Ember Grove’s open acacia shelf handles 50 pounds thanks to its steel frame reinforcement.

Your Questions About Broyhill Sofa Tables
Our sofa table tops support between 75 and 100 pounds when weight is evenly distributed. This accommodates table lamps, decorative objects, framed photos, and small electronics without stress to the frame. Avoid placing a single heavy object like a large aquarium or television on the surface, as concentrated weight can cause warping over time.
The lower shelf on most models holds 40 to 50 pounds depending on construction. Metal-frame designs like Ember Grove handle slightly more weight on the bottom shelf than wood-only models.
Yes, many customers place our sofa tables in entryways or hallways. The 29- to 30-inch height works well for dropping keys and mail, and models with drawers keep everyday clutter out of sight. Choose a table with a lower shelf if you want space for shoes or a catchall basket near the door.
Consider a slightly narrower depth—16 inches rather than 18—if your entryway or hallway has limited floor space. This keeps the walkway clear while still providing functional surface area.
All Broyhill sofa tables include felt pads or plastic glides on the bottom of each leg. Felt pads work best on hardwood, tile, and laminate, while plastic glides are better for carpet. If your table didn’t come with felt pads pre-installed, you can purchase adhesive felt furniture pads at any hardware store and apply them to the bottom of the legs.
Replace felt pads every 12 to 18 months or when you notice they’ve compressed or collected debris. Periodically lift the table and sweep underneath to remove grit that can scratch floors when the furniture shifts.
Routine care involves dusting with a dry microfiber cloth once or twice a week. For sticky spots or spills, use a cloth dampened with water and a drop of mild dish soap, then immediately dry the area with a separate towel. Never let water pool on the wood surface, as moisture can penetrate the finish and cause cloudiness.
Apply paste wax once or twice a year to nourish the wood and restore shine. Avoid aerosol furniture polishes that contain silicone—these build up a filmy residue over time that dulls the finish and requires professional stripping to remove.
Attic Heirlooms features hand-distressed oak with a rustic, lived-in aesthetic. We intentionally add dents, wear marks, and color variation to give each piece an antique appearance. This collection suits farmhouse, cottage, and eclectic interiors.
Lenoir showcases cherry wood with clean lines and minimal ornamentation, leaning transitional rather than rustic. The finish is smooth and even, with subtle hand-rubbed shading along edges. Lenoir works well in traditional homes that want warmth without heavy distressing.
Our standard retail line offers the finish options shown on each product page—Natural Oak, Charcoal, Amaretto Cherry, and others depending on the collection. We do not offer custom stain colors or paint finishes on individual orders placed through our website or retail partners.
For large-scale custom projects—such as furnishing a hotel, senior living facility, or multi-unit development—contact our contract sales team. Custom finishes and dimensions are available for commercial orders with minimum quantities.
With proper care, our solid wood sofa tables last 20 to 30 years or more. The frame construction uses mortise-and-tenon joinery and corner blocks that hold tight even as the wood naturally expands and contracts with seasonal humidity changes. Drawer glides and hardware are rated for tens of thousands of open-close cycles.
We back our tables with a limited lifetime warranty on structural frame defects and a one-year warranty on finish and hardware. Register your purchase within 30 days to activate warranty coverage.
