Dalston Console Table Sandblasted Wood - Black & Champagne Frame

The Dalston is a 131cm console table pairing a sandblasted mango wood top finished in black with a hand-distressed champagne-bronze metal frame. The frame uses a cross-leg support design, with vertical tubular posts at each corner and diagonal bracing beneath the top to resist lateral movement. The wood surface is sandblasted to expose the grain texture before the black finish is applied, giving tactile depth rather than a flat painted surface.

Designed for hallways, behind-sofa positions in living rooms, and entrance areas where a narrow footprint is needed, the 36.5cm depth keeps the table tight to the wall while the 131cm width provides enough surface for keys, mail, a table lamp and a small plant or decorative objects. The 75.5cm height sits just below typical dado rail height and works comfortably as a writing surface when paired with a stool. The metal frame keeps visual weight low despite the solid wood top.

The mango wood comes from plantation-grown timber, with each piece showing different grain patterns depending on where in the trunk it was cut. The sandblasted finish raises the grain lines to create a ridged surface that contrasts with the smooth champagne-bronze metal. The hand-distressed finish on the metal frame varies between individual pieces, with some areas showing more wear than others to simulate aged bronze. At 15.82kg the table sits firmly once positioned, resisting movement from accidental knocks in high-traffic hallways.

The Dalston collection also includes a matching side table and coffee table if coordinating pieces are needed across a room.

What is sandblasted wood?

Sandblasting uses compressed air to propel abrasive material against the wood surface, removing the softer grain layers and leaving the harder grain lines raised. This creates a textured, ridged surface rather than smooth painted wood. The black finish is then applied over the exposed grain.

Does the champagne-bronze finish vary between pieces?

Yes. The metal frame is hand-distressed to simulate aged bronze, so the degree of wear and patina varies between individual tables. Some areas show more exposed base metal, others retain more of the champagne finish. This is intentional variation, not a defect.

Is the wood top solid or veneer?

The top is solid mango wood, not veneer. Mango is a plantation timber harvested from trees that no longer produce fruit commercially. Grain patterns differ between pieces depending on where in the trunk the timber was cut.

What room positions suit this console?

The 36.5cm depth works behind sofas in living rooms, in narrow hallways against the wall, and in entrance areas where floor space is limited but surface area for keys, mail and lighting is needed. The cross-leg frame requires clearance below, so it does not suit storage underneath.
