Save or splurge? Console tables ideal for hallway and beyond

Console tables more than earn their keep around the house because of their sheer versatility 

Console tables can be used in various spots around the home, adapting from use in a hallway, to providing a surface in a living room for a lamp, photos and even the television. 

They also work beautifully in a dining area where space is too tight for a larger sideboard.
