A good console table is one of the most important decisions you can make for your entryway. Whether you have a proper foyer or are carving your own entry out of a barely there hallway, the first piece of furniture you see when you come home should be one that you love.

Okay, so this incredibly composed piece by Lara Bohinc might even surpass “splurge-worthy,” but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t want to stare at it all day every day. While its patinated copper surface and shapely brass frame might be for aesthetic fulfillment, the piece is actually ultra functional with two built-in mirrors and a spare drawer.
