While the traditional use for console tables has been a tabletop with a little extra storage space underneath in the living room of foyer, there are other ways to use them.
Instead of using a console table as a typical table, why not give it a new role as an entertainment center? If you think about it, it has everything you need for an entertainment center - a tabletop where the television will sit, shelving to hold all the extra electronics, and even a drawer for storage.
Wall Mount Shelfs
Instead of being stuck with an entertainment center, that you may not like the style of, you have now opened a while new field of options for your entertainment center by adding console tables into the mix.
There are admittedly some limitations to console tables, as well as things you need to look for in them to make sure they will do the trick. First measure your television. If you have a flat screen, you only need to measure the width of the set to see if it will fit on the table. If you have a deeper television set, the depth of the tabletop may also come into play.
You should also make sure you are looking at the ones that can handle the weight of the television you are planning to put on top of them. Check the construction of the legs and surface spaces on the tables to see if they can support the items you are going to put on top of them.
Consider the number of electronics add-ons you are going to want to have near your TV. If you have a lot of them you will want to make sure you have enough shelving to hold all the pieces. Again, check the construction of the shelves to make sure they will be able to hold up to the weight of the components you want to put on their tops.
If you are going to wall mount your TV, you have just opened up a whole new world of how your they can be used. In this setup, the table would be put right below the television. On the tabletop could be a DVD player or your stereo components. Underneath you can put the speakers, or extra components that you need a space for. This arrangement should allow you to spread out your components and give them room, which will also keep them from getting too hot, as they can when they are all stacked together.
Finally, don't forget to look at drawers as you consider console tables. There is usually a top drawer just below the tabletop. This is an important space where you can put DVD cases, remotes, TV guides and any other things you need near the television, but don't necessary need to have spread all over the countertop where the TV is. Having the drawer offers a much cleaner and neater look, while not having to give up convenience of having things close at hand.

Cheetah Mounts AS3B 3 Component Shelf Wall Mount Bracket for LCD, LED, Plasma TV Components Overview
The AS3B is a tri-shelf cable management system. It can be used with or without a Plasma/LCD mount. This unit is designed to fit under your display and provide an on wall solution for other components such as cable boxes, DVD players, game consoles, and stereo components. There are three 2.25-Inch holes on the aluminum plate that allow you to cleanly run your cables up to your TV or down to another component, as well as out the bottom to an outlet. After reviewing our competition we realized that most shelving units need to be mounted directly into a wall stud. In most cases the wall stud is placed to the right or to the left of the display, which is not where most people prefer to have their shelves mounted. This is still the most secure option however, after significant research we’ve fount that using the correct toggle bolts can allow you to mount your shelving unit wherever you see fit. With the combination of four of these toggle bolts the shelving unit is able to hold well over 70LBS safely. Each individual toggle bolt provides 75LBS of support. Please not that a good toggle bolt is still only as good as the quality of the drywall it is mounted into. If you have water damage or .25-Inch drywall please add a support for your shelving unit.SAVE NOW on the special offers below!
