Harrogate Luxury Rectangular Glass Console Hallway Table 140cm With Gold Curved Legs

Tempered Glass Tabletop

Tempered glass console tables are a contemporary and durable addition to modern living spaces, combining style and resilience. The manufacturing process of our tempered glass begins with selecting thick, high-quality float glass, which offers superior clarity and minimal imperfections, ensuring a flawless visual experience. 

The cut glass piece undergoes a tempering process for enhanced strength and safety. This involves heating the glass to a high temperature (around 600°C) and then rapidly cooling it with air blasts. This process creates compressive stress on the surface of the glass, making it significantly resistant to breakage and shattering, boasting 4 to 5 times the durability of standard glass with improved minor scratch & heat resistance. After tempering, the edges of the glass are polished to create a smooth and finished look.

Key Benefits

• Safety & Durability: Tempered glass is significantly stronger and safer than regular glass. It undergoes a special heat treatment process, making it four to five times more resistant to breakage and minor scratches & heat damage, ideal for busy households and high-traffic living areas.
• Contemporary Aesthetics: Tempered glass offers a sleek and modern aesthetic that seamlessly complements various interior styles. Its clean lines and reflective nature add a touch of sophistication to your living space, enhancing the overall contemporary appeal.
• Easy Maintenance: The smooth and non-porous surface of tempered glass makes it incredibly easy to clean. Spills, stains, and marks can be effortlessly wiped away, keeping your console table in pristine condition with minimal effort.
• Environmentally Friendly: Tempered glass is an eco-friendly material that can be recycled and repurposed, reducing the demand for new resources and energy consumption.
• Enhanced Ambiance: Coloured glass can create a specific mood or atmosphere in the room. Lighter colours like white can evoke a sense of cosiness, while cooler tones like grey or black can promote a feeling of calm and tranquillity.
• Amplifies Space and Light: The inherent brightness of white glass maximises light reflection, creating an illusion of spaciousness even in smaller rooms. This makes them ideal for opening up compact living areas and promoting a sense of airiness.
• Bold and Dramatic: Black glass makes a powerful and dramatic statement, injecting a touch of modernity and sophistication into any space. It creates a visually striking focal point that draws the eye and adds a touch of drama to the décor.

Care Guide

• Regular Dusting: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dust the table's surface regularly to prevent the buildup of particles.
• Wipe with a Damp Cloth: For light cleaning, dampen a clean cloth with warm, soapy water, and gently wipe the glass. Rinse with a damp, clean cloth, and then dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Remove Spills Promptly: If any spills occur, blot them up immediately with a clean, damp cloth to prevent staining or etching on the glass.
• Use a Glass Cleaner: For a more thorough cleaning, apply a glass cleaner designed for glass and wipe with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that may scratch the surface.
• Protect from Heat and Scratches: Despite our tempered glass being more minor scratch & heat resistant to standard glass, we recommend using coasters for glasses and hot mugs to safeguard it from potential heat damage and scratches. This simple step contributes to maintaining the table's pristine surface over the years.

Gold Metal Frame

Creating our metal bases with a stunning gold chrome finish is a multi-step process. It begins with cutting and shaping the metal to the desired design, followed by precision welding for stability. After this, we carefully grind the surfaces to smooth perfection. 

Next comes the electroplating process. A thin layer of copper, followed by a layer of bright nickel which offers a higher reflectivity, are electroplated, laying the foundation for the gold colour. The final step involves electroplating the base with gold alloy for a luxurious touch. The newly gold-plated base is polished to a brilliant shine, highlighting the reflective properties of the chromium layer and accentuating its aesthetic appeal.

Sizing Guide

Length: Measure the length of the wall or area where the console table will be placed. Ideally, your table should be about two-thirds of the wall's length or it should leave roughly 30cm on either side of the wall to achieve a balanced look without the table appearing lost or cramped.

Width: Measure the width of the hallway. Ensure at least 30-45 cm of clearance between your chosen table and any opposite walls or furniture. This allows for comfortable passage and prevents a crowded feel.

Consider Its Function:

• Entryway Console: If the console is intended to be a hallway table for holding keys, mail, or small items, opting for a narrower depth (30-40cm) is beneficial to ensure a practical and uncluttered entrance space.
• Living Room Console: In the living room, where the console is often a focal point for decorative items or cherished photos, consider a longer (100-120cm) and taller table. This provides an expansive surface for creating artful displays, allowing you to showcase your personal style.
• Behind the Sofa: Placing a console table behind the sofa can be a strategic design choice. To achieve a harmonious look, opt for a shorter table that complements the height of the sofa. The console table's width should be about two-thirds the length of your sofa to ensure the table doesn't block the view or disrupt the visual continuity in the room. 
• In the Bedroom: Choose a height that sits slightly above your bed frame for a cohesive look, and ensure the length of the table doesn't exceed the bed's width to maintain easy access and prevent a congested feel.
