FAQs: Dad Draw Console Tables - Your Questions Answered
What exactly is a 'Dad Draw'?
It’s the designated drawer in console tables for "essential clutter" – dead batteries, mystery keys, tape measures, and screws saved "just in case." Our British-made consoles feature deep-tray drawers calibrated to hold 37 AA batteries or a 7.5cm Stanley tape measure.
Will these fit narrow UK hallways?
Absolutely! Models like the Alton Console (45cm deep) and Tunworth Console (35cm depth) are designed for Victorian terraces and London flats. The slimline Bali Console even squeezes into 80cm alcoves – perfect for cluttered hallways.
How weather-resistant are these for coastal homes?
Our Chilworth Console features salt-air resistant finishes (tested in Cornwall), while oak and acacia models use moisture-repellent oils. Avoid direct rain, but they’ll withstand seaside humidity and muddy wellies.
