Chloe Channel Console

The Chloe Channel Console is 130cm wide, 40cm deep and 80cm high in a bone-toned veneer, with a curved case and slatted drawer fronts. Two concealed drawers run on Hettich soft-close runners. It weighs 45kg, holds up to 60kg and comes with an anchor kit.

Slatted drawer fronts are the whole design and they are also the thing to think about practically. Channelled timber catches dust in every groove, so a console with this face wants a soft brush rather than a cloth, and it belongs somewhere it will be seen rather than somewhere it will be ignored.

At 40cm deep this is a genuine hallway console rather than a sideboard pretending to be one. It leaves a corridor walkable, and the two drawers take keys, post and the accumulated small objects that otherwise live on the top of exactly this kind of furniture.

The anchor kit is included rather than optional, and it should be used. A 130cm case at 80cm high with drawers that pull out is a tipping risk when both drawers are open, and a bracket into the wall takes ten minutes.
