Measure the relationship to the sofa
The angle of the sofa back and overhanging cushions determine how closely the table can sit. Measure the actual rear boundary at home rather than relying only on catalogue dimensions. Check how objects on the tabletop appear at the head height of someone seated on the sofa.
Test the route with the footprint marked
Mark the table depth on the floor and walk along the route behind it. An opening door or pulled-out dining chair may need the same space. Include projecting legs and the gap required by skirting boards rather than measuring only the tabletop.
Give the surface a clear purpose
A place for a lamp and books has different requirements from a serving surface. Clarifying the purpose helps establish a suitable depth. Compare console tables with your plan and resolve sockets and cables early if needed. Confirm dimensions and installation instructions before the final choice.
