A console table is a versatile and functional piece of furniture typically designed to sit against a wall or behind a sofa. These tables are often narrow and long, making them ideal for hallways, entryways, or as a decorative focal point in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms. Console tables serve both practical and aesthetic purposes, offering a place to display decorative items like lamps, vases, and framed photos, while also providing additional storage.

Console Table Manufacturing in China
China is the world’s largest furniture producer, and console tables are no exception. The country dominates the global market due to its ability to produce high-quality furniture at competitive prices. It’s estimated that 60% to 70% of all console tables sold worldwide are manufactured in China.
Why China Dominates Console Table Manufacturing
Several factors contribute to China’s dominance in the console table market:
- Cost-Effective Production: China’s relatively low labor costs allow manufacturers to produce furniture at much lower prices compared to Western countries. This competitive advantage makes it easier for Chinese companies to offer lower prices while maintaining profitability.
- Access to Raw Materials: China has abundant access to essential raw materials, including wood, metal, and glass, which are necessary for console table production. This access lowers material costs and speeds up the production process.
- Established Supply Chains: Over the past few decades, China has developed a vast and efficient supply chain for furniture manufacturing. This allows manufacturers to streamline production, reduce costs, and ensure that products are made quickly and efficiently.
- Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: Chinese manufacturers have invested heavily in state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, allowing them to produce high-quality furniture on a large scale. Automation and modern machinery have contributed to consistent quality and quicker production times.
- Skilled Labor Force: China has a large and experienced labor force skilled in furniture production, from woodworking to metalworking and upholstery. The knowledge and craftsmanship available in China enable manufacturers to meet global standards.
Cost Distribution of Console Tables
The cost of producing a console table is influenced by various factors, and the total cost can be broken down into several key components:
1. Raw Materials (40%-50%)
- The type of materials used for the console table plays a significant role in its final cost. Solid wood, metal, glass, and acrylic are common materials used. Premium woods like walnut or oak can significantly increase costs, while MDF (medium-density fiberboard) and pine offer more affordable alternatives. Glass and metal can also vary in price based on thickness and quality.
2. Labor Costs (15%-20%)
- Labor costs account for a significant portion of the overall cost of manufacturing a console table. In countries like China, labor is more affordable than in Western countries, contributing to lower production costs. However, handcrafted or custom-made console tables will incur higher labor costs due to the increased time and skill required.
3. Transportation and Logistics (10%-15%)
- Shipping and transportation costs, particularly for international orders, play a crucial role in the final price of console tables. Freight costs, packaging, and import/export duties can all affect the overall cost, especially for large or heavy furniture items.
4. Overhead and Operational Costs (10%-15%)
- These costs include everything from electricity and factory maintenance to administrative expenses and quality control measures. Overhead costs vary depending on the scale of the manufacturer and the region in which they operate.
5. Design and Development (5%-10%)
- For companies that offer original design manufacturing (ODM) services or customization, the cost of design and development can be substantial. This includes research, prototyping, and testing to ensure the product meets quality and aesthetic standards.
6. Marketing and Distribution (5%-10%)
- The cost of marketing, retail markup, and distribution also factors into the final price of a console table. For companies selling directly to consumers, online marketing and advertising costs play a role, while retailers often add their own markup to the manufacturer’s price.
