What are the accent tables called that are usually found behind a couch when the couch is dividing a room?

The tables are taller than coffee tables but longer than end tables. Usually they are behind a couch when the floor plan is open and the couch is not near a wall. I don’t know what to use as my key words in a search and I’m not finding what I want….

    Did you know that a small desk is also very pretty behind a couch?

    In Australia, they are referred to as ‘Hall Tables’, they allow you have a lamp, ornaments, books etc level with the top of the back of your lounge.

    Hi –

    I believe they are called console tables.

    You can also do a search under “behind sofa table” and you should find results as well.

    Good luck :-)
