I put this console table in my foyer.  It is the perfect width of 9 3/8 inches because it doesn't stick out far into the walkway.  The length of 42 inches is great too.    On the wall above the table is a heart mirror surrounded by shiny tin.  On the top shelf I have placed a shiny pewter bowl and crystal vase filled with peacock feathers.  The second shelf contains things from the sea and the bottom shelf contains a tall crystal candy dish and a tall Lenox vase.  This table showcases my items perfectly.
