Buy a wooden console table base: compact STL-026-3 800 × 400 × 740 mm or wide STL-026-5 1200 × 400 × 850 mm — which to choose

A wooden console table base can be purchased for a small hallway or a spacious wall under a large mirror, but the same depth of 400 mm does not make the two models interchangeable. STL-026-3 has dimensions of 800 × 400 × 740 mm and is suitable for a compact console, vanity table, or workstation with a laptop. STL-026-5, according to the current table, has dimensions of 1200 × 400 × 850 mm and is designed for a long console, a wider tabletop, and a furniture composition that needs to fill a large wall space.

The difference in width is 400 mm, and in height — 110 mm. This changes not only the appearance. STL-026-3 is easier to place between doors, next to a cabinet, or under a mirror about 700–900 mm wide. STL-026-5 requires a longer wall and separate fitment check: the base height of 850 mm is already higher than a standard work base, and the final surface will rise further by the thickness of the tabletop and mounting assembly.

Both models are made of beech or oak, have a "Prestige" sanding finish, are supplied unassembled, and come with fittings. Beech is chosen for opaque enamel, oak for tinting while preserving the natural grain. But the base and tabletop cannot be joined only by matching length: you need to check the depth, attachment points, weight, overhangs, stability, and possible fixation of the finished narrow furniture to the wall.

In the STL-026-5 card, there is an important discrepancy: the current table indicates a height of 850 mm, while the old text description mentions 740 mm. The article uses the value of 850 mm as the parameter from the current table, but before ordering, the height must be additionally clarified with a STAVROS manager. This is especially important if the console is planned as a desk, vanity table, or workstation with a regular chair.

What is a console table underframe

A console underframe is a narrow wooden base placed along a wall and topped with a tabletop. It can serve as a decorative console, a vanity table, a compact writing desk, or a surface for a mirror.

The main advantage of a ready-made frame is that the buyer does not need to assemble the base from random legs, stretchers, and fasteners. The size, geometry, and set of fittings are already tied to a specific model.

However, a ready-made underframe does not make any tabletop compatible. The complete set must be evaluated by width, depth, height, mounting, weight, and stability.

General issues of stability and a narrow tabletop are covered in detail in the material on how to choose an underframe for a console table.

Why the same depth of 400 mm does not make models identical

Both bases occupy the same 400 mm of depth along the wall. This is convenient for hallways, bedrooms, and studies, where a full-sized table with significantly greater depth could block the passage.

However, widths of 800 and 1200 mm create different usable surfaces. A compact console can accommodate a mirror, small decor, a laptop, or a set of cosmetics. A wide model allows items to be spread across zones and uses a longer tabletop.

Height also changes the function: 740 mm is closer to the usual work and dining base, while 850 mm requires a separate seating calculation.

Therefore, the choice begins not with depth, but with the length of the free wall and the actual usage scenario.

When to buy STL-026-3

The model fits a small wall, narrow hallway, bedroom, and home office.

The width of 800 mm allows placing the console between doors, near a wardrobe, or under a compact mirror.

The height of 740 mm is more convenient for a vanity table and brief work with a laptop, but the final height is still calculated together with the tabletop.

For such a task, you can Buy compact base STL-026-3 in beech or oak.

When to buy STL-026-5

The model is designed for a long wall, large mirror, wide decorative table, and a more spacious workspace.

The width of 1200 mm provides 400 mm more surface than STL-026-3, but requires a free wall and proper placement near doors.

The height of 850 mm according to the current table makes the base especially important for a preliminary ergonomic calculation.

If a long format is needed, you can Buy wide base STL-026-5, after first checking the current height.

STL-026-3 or STL-026-5: practical comparison

Width difference of 800 and 1200 mm

An additional 400 mm turns a compact console into a long furniture surface. This is not just a place for another vase: the number of items, the length of the mirror, the distance between lamps, and the overall role of the furniture on the wall change.

STL-026-3 is easier to place on a pier between doors or next to a wardrobe. STL-026-5 requires a wall where normal margins remain on the sides after installation.

If a wide console almost touches trim, switches, or other furniture, it looks randomly squeezed in.

Marking with painter's tape across the full width helps choose a model before ordering.

Why 1200 mm is not always better than 800 mm

A large surface is only convenient when the room is truly ready to accommodate it.

In a narrow hallway, STL-026-5 can visually extend furniture along the wall, but at the same time reduce free space for doors, a shoe cabinet, and passage.

STL-026-3 leaves more air and suits a local composition under a mirror.

The buyer chooses not the maximum size, but the size that supports a specific wall.

When 800 mm may not be enough

For a large monitor, desk lamp, documents, and organizers, a compact width may not suffice.

On a dressing table, 800 mm is convenient for the basic set, but a large mirror and side lights require separate checking.

If the console should visually fill a wall longer than one and a half meters, a small base may get lost.

In such cases, STL-026-5 has an advantage in usable area.

The height difference between 740 and 850 mm

The 110 mm difference affects seating more than width affects storage.

STL-026-3 is closer to the usual height of a desk or vanity table, although the final result depends on the thickness of the tabletop.

STL-026-5 is higher according to the current table, so it can work as a tall console or surface for a standing decorative composition.

Using it with a regular chair is only possible after calculating the seat height, legroom, and the final tabletop level.

Why the height of STL-026-5 needs to be clarified

The current product card table indicates 850 mm, but the old text description mentions 740 mm.

The article uses the value from the current table, but the discrepancy cannot be ignored.

Before purchasing, you need to open the product card and clarify the height with a STAVROS manager, especially if the furniture is ordered for a specific mirror, chair, or tabletop.

One wrong size will change the entire project and can make the working fit uncomfortable.

How to calculate the final height of the console

The height of the underframe is only part of the finished furniture.

To it is added the thickness of the tabletop and the features of the mounting assembly.

For STL-026-3, the 740 mm base can turn into a higher work surface after installing the top part.

For STL-026-5, it is especially important not to approximate the dimensions, but to get an exact specification.

What height is suitable for a dressing table

The dressing table should take into account the chair, knee position, mirror height, and habitual usage.

STL-026-3 looks like a more natural starting point due to its 740 mm height.

STL-026-5 may be too tall for a seated scenario if the 850 mm value is confirmed.

Before purchasing, they make a mock-up of the countertop and sit on it in the selected chair.

What height is suitable for a console in the hallway

A decorative console does not require constant seated use.

Therefore, STL-026-5 with a height of 850 mm can be convenient for a mirror, key holder, lamps, and decor.

STL-026-3 creates a lower and more compact furniture line.

The choice depends on the height of the mirror, switches, and adjacent furniture.

What height is suitable for a workspace

For a laptop and regular work, ergonomics are important, not just the length of the countertop.

STL-026-3 is closer to the usual base, but the depth of 400 mm limits the placement of a large screen.

STL-026-5 provides more width, however, the height of 850 mm may require a special chair or a different usage scenario.

It cannot be called a full-fledged desk without checking the seating.

How to check the height with a simple mockup

A horizontal strip is temporarily attached to the wall at the mark of the future tabletop.

A chair, laptop, mirror, or items that will be used daily are placed in front of it.

The user evaluates the position of hands, knees, and gaze.

This test is especially important for STL-026-5 due to data discrepancies in the card.

STL-026-3 for a small hallway

The compact width helps place the console on a partition without blocking doors or creating a long furniture strip.

A depth of 400 mm still requires checking the passage, especially near the entrance door and closet.

Keys, a small lamp, a mirror, and an organizer can be placed on the surface, but it should not be overloaded with large decor.

For such a zone, you can choose STL-026-3 made of beech or oak after marking the full outline.

STL-026-5 for a spacious hallway or foyer

Width 1200 mm is suitable for a long wall section where furniture should visually fill the wall.

On the tabletop, you can spread out lamps, decor, boxes, and everyday items across separate zones.

Height 850 mm works well for standing use if confirmed before ordering.

In a narrow corridor, this format may be too large even with a depth of 400 mm.

How to measure a free wall section

Measure not the entire wall, but the clear distance between trims, outlets, switches, radiators, and furniture.

Then mark the width of the underframe and the expected overhang of the tabletop.

There should be margins along the edges so the console doesn't look cramped.

For STL-026-5, it's especially important to check the doors and adjacent pull-out elements.

How to account for door opening

The door leaf, handle, and casing may occupy part of the space next to the console.

Even if the base fits along the wall, the tabletop may fall into the opening trajectory.

STL-026-3 is easier to place between openings.

For STL-026-5, a full plan is made with open doors and actual protrusions.

How to account for drawers and doors of adjacent furniture

The console should not interfere with the opening of drawers of a wardrobe, cabinet, or shoe rack.

They check not only the frontal width, but also the working area in front of the furniture.

STL-026-5 can block access to the adjacent section if the partition is designed without considering the opening.

Marking is done with the facades fully open.

How to choose a console for a mirror

The mirror and the base must share a common axis and have clear margins on the edges.

STL-026-3 is suitable for a mirror about 700–900 mm wide, if the specific composition looks proportional.

STL-026-5 better supports a large horizontal mirror or panel.

The height of the mirror is determined after confirming the final height of the countertop.

Why you cannot choose a mirror separately

A mirror that is too narrow will get lost above a wide console.

Something too large may extend beyond the small STL-026-3 and visually make the base look random.

Lights, sockets, and decorative items also take up space.

A full-size paper mockup of the mirror and console helps assemble a unified set.

STL-026-3 as a dressing table

A width of 800 mm suits a compact set of cosmetics, a mirror, and a small light.

A height of 740 mm is more convenient for a seated scenario, but the final mark is calculated with the countertop.

A depth of 400 mm requires careful storage organization and checking knee space.

If the format is suitable, you can view the specifications of STL-026-3 and choose a material to match the bedroom finish.

STL-026-5 as a dressing table

Width 1200 mm provides more space for the mirror, lights, and surface storage.

However, the height of 850 mm may be uncomfortable for a regular chair.

This option is considered only after checking the actual height and real seating position.

Sometimes a wide model works better as a standing console under a mirror rather than as a seated dressing table.

STL-026-3 for a laptop

The compact width suits short work sessions, writing, and laptop use.

Depth 400 mm allows placing the device but leaves less distance to the screen than a full desk.

For a large monitor and constant work, the area may be insufficient.

Such a base can be considered as under-desk for a laptop workstation, but not as an automatic replacement for an ergonomic desk.

STL-026-5 for a workstation

A width of 1200 mm is more convenient for a monitor, lamp, documents, and organizers.

The depth of 400 mm remains narrow, so the distance to a large screen needs to be checked.

The main question is the height of 850 mm: a standard chair may not provide a comfortable seating position.

Before ordering, it is worth clarify the current height of STL-026-5 and calculate the final work surface.

How convenient is a depth of 400 mm for work

For a laptop, writing, and brief tasks, such a depth may be sufficient.

For a large monitor, keyboard, and documents, the surface may be too narrow.

The screen should not be placed only at the edge without checking the stability of the tabletop and the distance to the eyes.

The work scenario needs to be simulated on a tabletop of the exact size.

Can a console be used as a writing desk

Yes, if the width, height, depth, and seating fit the specific user.

STL-026-3 is closer to a compact writing desk, STL-026-5 provides more length.

No model becomes automatically comfortable just because of the name "work surface."

Before ordering, the user should sit at a mock-up of the future tabletop.

Console in the living room

STL-026-3 fits a local wall, an area near an armchair, or a compact alcove.

STL-026-5 can become a long furniture line behind the sofa, under a painting or mirror.

A depth of 400 mm preserves passage better than a full-sized table.

The tabletop and decor are selected to avoid excessive front overhang.

Console in the bedroom

The compact model is suitable for a vanity table, a spot under a mirror, or a small work area.

The wide version is possible in a spacious bedroom where a long surface is needed.

The height of STL-026-5 is checked relative to the armchair and mirror.

The base color is matched with the bed, wardrobe, and doors.

Console in the study

STL-026-3 is suitable as an additional spot for a laptop, documents, or decor.

STL-026-5 provides a longer surface along the wall and can be used as an auxiliary work table.

A depth of 400 mm requires discipline in equipment placement.

For regular operation, check the fit, cables, and stability of the entire structure.

Console in the dressing room

The narrow base is convenient for a mirror, accessories, and temporary placement of items.

STL-026-3 fits a small area between cabinets.

STL-026-5 requires a long free wall and can become the central surface of the dressing room.

Drawers and cabinet doors are checked in the fully open position.

Console in a salon, boutique, or hotel

The wide STL-026-5 is suitable for a display surface, mirror, and waiting area.

STL-026-3 is convenient for a local rack, a number, or a small office.

For a commercial space, it is especially important to check the wall mounting, frequency of use, and finish.

Before serial ordering, one control sample is assembled.

How to calculate the length of the tabletop

The starting point is the width of the underframe, but the tabletop does not have to match it exactly.

A small side overhang can visually complete the furniture, but its size must be related to the support area and mounting.

For STL-026-3 and STL-026-5, a universal overhang cannot be assigned without a drawing.

Before ordering, it is worth Choose a tabletop for a console table and agree on the specific size with the base.

Why the length of the tabletop does not equal compatibility

Two parts may match in width but have different mounting points, weight, and depth.

A heavy surface creates a different load than a lightweight MDF tabletop.

A large side or front overhang changes the stability of the entire piece of furniture.

Compatibility is confirmed by the full assembly, not by a single number.

What side overhang is acceptable

Without a technical drawing, a universal value cannot be given.

The overhang should be equal or deliberately distributed across the sides.

On the compact STL-026-3, excessive overhang can visually overwhelm the base.

On the STL-026-5, a long tabletop requires particularly precise checking of deflection, fastening, and support.

What front overhang is acceptable

The depth of the underframe is 400 mm, so the front edge of the tabletop directly affects stability.

Too much overhang creates leverage when leaning on hands or placing heavy objects.

You cannot choose the depth of the countertop solely based on the desire to get more work surface.

The front overhang is coordinated with the structure, material, and possible wall fixation.

How to choose the depth of the countertop

For a decorative console, a narrow surface helps maintain a passage.

For work, the depth should account for the laptop, monitor, keyboard, and hand position.

A countertop deeper than the base requires checking the center of gravity and fastening.

If the work task requires significantly greater depth, it is wiser to look at a different type of frame.

How to check the attachment points

Before drilling and finishing, you need to understand where the countertop connects to the underframe.

The fittings are included in the frame kit, but the exact purpose of each element is checked against the instructions and the card.

You cannot assume that the kit automatically fits any chosen tabletop.

Holes and fasteners are coordinated before applying the finish coating.

Heavy tabletop on a narrow base

Stone, thick wood, and other heavy materials require calculation of the complete assembly.

The diagram does not have a confirmed permissible load, so numerical promises are excluded.

Weight, overhang, attachment points, and wall fixation must be evaluated together.

For complex projects, the solution is coordinated with a designer or STAVROS manager.

Tabletop made of MDF or veneer

The tabletop category includes different versions, but not every one is automatically compatible with two frames.

MDF is convenient for opaque finishes, while the veneered surface helps preserve the wood character.

Size, thickness, weight, and attachment points are checked separately.

You can view in the catalog MDF and veneer countertops, without accepting material match as confirmation of compatibility.

How to coordinate the countertop with the mirror

The width of the countertop and mirror should create a clear composition.

For STL-026-3, the mirror can be close to the width of the base or slightly narrower if the margins look balanced.

STL-026-5 supports a large horizontal mirror and paired light fixtures.

The exact height of the mirror is determined after confirming the height of the finished console.

How to check the stability of the console

Narrow furniture against a wall requires evaluation of the support contour, countertop, and actual use.

It may be leaned on with hands, have heavy objects placed on it, or be accidentally bumped in a walkway.

The check is performed on a level floor after assembly and installation of the countertop.

Numerical load cannot be assigned without technical data.

When the console needs to be attached to the wall

The need for fixation depends on the height, depth of the countertop, weight, overhang, base, and usage scenario.

The tall STL-026-5 and heavy surface require particularly careful evaluation.

If the furniture is in a walkway, children's area, or commercial space, the risk of accidental impact is higher.

The detailed principle is explained in the article about whether the console needs to be attached to the wall.

Why you can't promise stability based on width alone

A wide base doesn't compensate for a shallow depth of 400 mm.

Stability depends on the position of mass relative to supports, assembly quality, and the floor.

STL-026-5 is wider but also taller, so comparing only by length is misleading.

Finished furniture is tested as a system with the selected tabletop.

How to check the floor and wall

An uneven floor can cause wobbling even in a properly assembled frame.

A weak wall is not suitable for fixation without preparation.

Before installation, check the flatness, wall material, and location of hidden utilities.

The fastening method is chosen based on the specific base.

How to check the console after assembly

The frame is placed on a level surface and the geometry, supports, and connections are checked.

Then the countertop is temporarily installed without operational load.

After final fastening, check for any wobbling or shifting.

If fixation to the wall is planned, it is performed according to the agreed node.

Beech for opaque enamel

Beech is suitable for a project where the base needs to get an exact white, black, or colored tone.

Opaque enamel helps tie the console to doors, wall panels, cabinets, and other painted furniture.

On the compact STL-026-3, a monochrome finish makes the piece calmer.

On the wide STL-026-5, the color has a stronger impact on the entire wall, so a test paint-out is mandatory.

Oak under tinting

Oak is chosen when you need to preserve the natural wood grain pattern.

Tinting helps match the underframe with the floor, doors, mirror frame, or other furniture.

On STL-026-3, the texture works as a local detail.

On STL-026-5, the oak surface becomes a noticeable part of a long furniture composition.

Beech or oak for the hallway

Beech under enamel is convenient if the console needs to match painted doors and architraves.

Oak under tinting suits an interior with natural flooring, a wardrobe, and a wooden mirror frame.

The material cannot be chosen based solely on a sample photo.

The color is checked in the actual lighting of the hallway.

Beech or oak for the bedroom

Light enamel helps make the dressing table visually lighter.

Oak tinting ties the console to the bed, nightstands, and wardrobe.

For STL-026-3, the material is chosen together with the mirror and countertop.

For STL-026-5, it is especially important not to get a too heavy long line.

Beech or oak for the study

Oak suits a classic study, library, and natural furniture.

Beech under enamel allows integrating the underframe into a more modern color scheme.

The working function still requires checking the height and depth.

General differences can be further studied in the material about choosing beech or oak for the frame.

How to coordinate the finish of the underframe and tabletop

Two parts can be the same color or built on a well-thought-out contrast.

A beech base under enamel pairs well with a painted tabletop.

An oak underframe requires checking the tone and pattern of the veneer or wood.

All samples are viewed together before processing the full set.

Why beech and oak cannot be considered the same

The species differ in pattern and visual character.

Under dense enamel, color becomes key; under tinting, the natural texture.

Random mixing of materials can look like a configuration error.

The specification separately indicates the species of the underframe and tabletop.

How to preserve the relief under the enamel

A thick coating layer can smooth edges and fill small depressions.

Prestige sanding prepares the surface but does not replace a trial painting cycle.

First, approve one sample with primer, enamel, and the selected gloss.

After that, finish all parts of one batch.

How to preserve the oak texture

Tinting should emphasize the fibers, not hide them with a randomly chosen opaque compound.

The protective finish is coordinated with the console's usage conditions.

The base and tabletop are treated according to a common system or two pre-agreed samples.

The difference in shades is evaluated in daylight and evening light.

What is included in the delivery

Both models are supplied unassembled, with a set of fittings included.

The exact composition of elements and assembly order are checked against the card and accompanying materials.

Specific fasteners cannot be promised in advance if they are not listed in the approved diagram.

After delivery, completeness is checked before painting.

How to accept a set of fittings

The packaging is opened on a clean surface, and parts are sorted by purpose.

The number of elements is compared with the documentation, without mixing fittings from two models.

Lost fasteners cannot be replaced with random equivalents without verification.

All issues are resolved before assembly begins.

How to prepare parts for assembly

Wooden elements are inspected along their entire length and protected from impacts.

The work surface must be level and spacious enough for a frame 800 or 1200 mm wide.

Do not place threads and face surfaces directly on a hard floor.

Plan finishing and assembly in a sequence that maintains access to joints.

How to assemble STL-026-3

Assemble the frame according to the provided scheme with the included fittings.

Before final tightening, check the squareness and position of the supports.

Place the underframe on a level floor and check for any wobbling.

Install the tabletop only after verifying the completed geometry.

How to assemble STL-026-5

A width of 1200 mm requires more workspace and control of long geometry.

Tighten the connections evenly, without trying to correct misalignment by force in one corner.

Recheck the height before installing the countertop.

After assembly, check the frame against the wall in its design position.

When to paint — before or after assembly

Pre-finishing makes it easier to access individual surfaces.

Finishing after assembly helps unify visible joints and connection points.

The optimal sequence depends on the design and chosen coating.

A test assembly shows

Mistake: forgetting about doors and drawers

Opening elements take up additional space in front of the wall.

The countertop may fit but block the cabinet door or drawer.

The layout is checked when fully opened.

STL-026-3 is often easier to integrate between existing furniture.

Error: ordering STL-026-5 without checking the height

The current table indicates 850 mm, while the old description contains 740 mm.

This discrepancy directly affects the countertop, mirror, and fit.

Before payment, confirmation of the current size must be obtained.

In the specification, the height is recorded separately.

Error: using 850 mm with a regular chair without calculation

A high base may raise the work surface above a comfortable level.

Even if the 1200 mm width fits the monitor, the fit may be incorrect.

The user must check the layout with the specific chair.

For constant work, ergonomics are more important than extra length.

Error: choosing a tabletop only by length

A width of 800 or 1200 mm does not confirm compatibility.

You need to consider depth, thickness, weight, mounting points, and overhangs.

A surface that is too heavy or deep changes stability.

The choice is made based on the full drawing.

Error: not checking depth and mounting points

The base has a depth of 400 mm, but the tabletop may be deeper.

The front overhang creates additional leverage.

Mounting points must fall within the designated support area.

Drilling is performed only after checking the diagram.

Error: making a large front overhang

The desire for a deeper workspace must not compromise stability.

A large overhang is especially dangerous when leaning on hands or installing a heavy monitor.

A universal value cannot be given without calculation.

If a deep tabletop is needed, a different frame may be required.

Error: installing a heavy tabletop without approval

Stone, thick wood, and other heavy materials require design verification.

The scheme has no permissible load for two models.

Weight affects the attachment to the base and possible fixation to the wall.

The entire assembly is coordinated before ordering the material.

Error: do not consider wall fixation

Narrow furniture may be subject to tipping forces.

Height, depth, overhang, and load determine the need for fixation.

Pay special attention to STL-026-5 and the heavy countertop.

The attachment method is chosen based on the wall material.

Error: placing a wide console in a cramped hallway

A depth of 400 mm seems compact, but a width of 1200 mm takes up a significant part of the wall.

Furniture can block visual fields and interfere with doors.

For a small space, STL-026-3 is often more suitable.

The solution is checked on the plan and in the actual passage.

Error: choosing STL-026-3 for a large monitor without checking

A width of 800 mm and depth of 400 mm may not be enough for comfortable continuous work.

Monitor, keyboard, laptop, and documents quickly take up surface area.

The buyer should lay out real items on the layout.

If space is limited, consider STL-026-5 or another work frame.

Error: considering beech and oak the same

Beech is intended for opaque enamel, oak for tinting and visible texture.

The difference affects the appearance of the countertop and underframe.

Random mixing can create an inconsistent set.

The material is fixed in the order for both parts.

Error: ordering tinting when dense enamel is needed

Tinting preserves the wood grain and does not replace opaque color.

If a white, black, or bright console is required, beech under enamel is often chosen.

Oak under tinting suits a natural surface.

The finish is checked on a sample before processing the entire set.

Error: not coordinating the countertop finish

Even the correct frame looks random next to an unsuitable top surface.

The color, gloss, and pattern of the material must be consistent.

Samples of the underframe and tabletop are compared side by side.

Only after this is the full set approved.

Error: lose the complete set of fittings

Both models are supplied disassembled with a set of fittings.

Small parts can easily be mixed with other fasteners during repairs.

The set is checked immediately after unpacking and stored separately.

A random replacement is not used without confirmation.

Who is STL-026-3 suitable for

The model is suitable for a small apartment, hallway, bedroom, compact dressing room, and home office.

It is convenient under a mirror, laptop, cosmetics, and a local decorative composition.

The height of 740 mm is closer to a seated scenario.

The model may not suit a full-fledged workspace with large equipment.

Who is STL-026-3 not suitable for

The base will be too short for a long wall and a large horizontal mirror.

It may not provide enough space for two lamps, a large monitor, and documents.

If the console should visually fill a wall opening wider than one and a half meters, the small format may get lost.

Then you should consider STL-026-5.

Who is STL-026-5 suitable for

The model is suitable for a spacious hallway, living room, hall, study, salon, and hotel.

Width 1200 mm is convenient for a large mirror, a long countertop, and distributed decor.

A high mark may be useful for a standing console.

For work and a vanity table, the height must be checked.

Who is not suitable for STL-026-5

The model may be too wide for a small partition and a narrow corridor.

Height 850 mm may not match a standard chair.

A long countertop and heavy objects increase stability requirements.

Without confirmation of size and mounting unit, the purchase is postponed.

When it is better to choose a different frame

If a large depth is needed for constant work, the console base may be too narrow.

If a length between 800 and 1200 mm is required, it is worth comparing other models.

If the furniture should include built-in drawers or a ready-made countertop, a ready console may be needed.

In the category you can view other frame sizes and choose the appropriate format.

Practical choice: wall section 1000 mm

STL-026-3 with a width of 800 mm leaves margins on the edges and usually looks more cohesive.

STL-026-5 physically does not fit such a wall.

Additionally, check the overhang of the countertop, trims, and switches.

If the mirror is wider than the base, its outline is also included in the layout.

Practical choice: wall section 1500 mm

Both models can be considered, but they give different results.

STL-026-3 creates a local item with wide fields.

STL-026-5 fills the wall and supports a large mirror.

The choice depends on the function and number of items on the countertop.

Practical choice: narrow entrance area

Compact STL-026-3 is usually safer in terms of width.

The depth of 400 mm is still checked against the door and passage.

Only necessary items are left on the countertop.

The wide model is chosen only for a truly spacious hall.

Practical choice: large mirror in the living room

STL-026-5 better supports a long mirror and paired lights.

A base width of 1200 mm creates a full furniture line.

The mirror height is calculated from the final countertop.

Oak tint or enamel must be coordinated with the frame.

Practical choice: compact mirror in the bedroom

STL-026-3 is suitable for a mirror about 700–900 mm and a small set of items.

A height of 740 mm is more convenient for checking seated posture.

The countertop should not have excessive front overhang.

The chair and knee space are tested before ordering.

Practical choice: laptop and desk lamp

STL-026-3 can provide enough surface for brief work.

Items are laid out on a layout with a width of 800 and the depth of the future tabletop.

Cables and outlets are planned near the rear edge.

For constant work, check the height and position of the hands.

Practical choice: monitor and documents

STL-026-5 is better in width, but a depth of 400 mm requires caution.

The monitor should not be placed too close to the user.

The height of 850 mm is compared with the chair and the thickness of the tabletop.

If the seating is uncomfortable, choose a different type of desk.

Practical choice: decorative console without a seat

In this scenario, height is primarily important relative to the mirror, painting, and objects.

STL-026-5 can function as a tall, long surface.

STL-026-3 is suitable for a small accent near a door or window.

Wall fixation is evaluated considering height and load.

Practical choice: custom-made new furniture

The underframe is included in the project before the countertop is manufactured.

The drawing links width, depth, thickness, overhang, and attachment points.

STL-026-5 requires separate confirmation of height.

Material and finish are approved using common samples.

Practical choice: updating an existing interior

First, measure the free wall space and existing furniture.

STL-026-3 is easier to add without rebuilding the entire wall.

STL-026-5 may require moving sockets, mirrors, or lights.

The color of the underframe is checked next to the floor and doors.

Practical choice: commercial space

In a salon or hotel, the console is often used more intensively than at home.

Check stability, fixation, finish, and ease of cleaning.

STL-026-5 is suitable for a long display surface.

STL-026-3 is convenient for a local waiting area or room.

How not to confuse a console frame with a finished console

STL-026-3 and STL-026-5 are underframes that require a tabletop to be selected.

Mirror, drawers, lights, and the countertop itself are not automatically included.

A ready-made console solves a different problem and may have a fixed configuration.

Before ordering, check which elements are included in the selected card.

How not to confuse a console with a full-fledged desk

A depth of 400 mm is typical for narrow furniture against a wall.

A full-fledged workspace often requires greater depth and precise ergonomics.

STL-026-5 is wider but does not automatically become more comfortable for work.

The function is confirmed through a layout of equipment, chair, and user position.

How not to confuse the width of the under-desk and the tabletop

The size 800 or 1200 mm refers to the base.

The countertop may have overhangs, but they cannot be assigned arbitrarily.

In the specification, the dimensions of the frame and the top surface are recorded separately.

This eliminates errors during manufacturing and delivery.

How to buy on STAVROS

First, open the model card that matches the width and function.

Then check the height, material, sanding, delivery format, and hardware set.

After that, select the countertop and check the complete assembly.

For a wide selection, you can open the STAVROS furniture frame catalog and compare bases by size.

How to fill out the order specification

Specify the article number, size, material, finish, and quantity.

Record the tabletop, its dimensions, weight, and mounting method on a separate line.

For STL-026-5, add the height confirmed by the manager.

If wall fixation is required, include the assembly in the project as well.

What to buy together with the console underframe

The underframe becomes furniture only after a tabletop, finish, and a safe mounting assembly are selected for it. For the compact STL-026-3, it is important not to overload the base with a too deep or heavy surface. For STL-026-5, you need to simultaneously check the length, height, weight of the tabletop, and possible wall fixation.

Broad queries are best directed to categories where you can compare other frames and tabletops. Specific product links are needed for choosing between 800 and 1200 mm. This route helps assemble a set without accidental matching only by color or length.

How to choose between decorative and working function

The same console does not have to perform both tasks equally well. A decorative model needs enough space for a mirror, lamp, and a few items, while a working model requires comfortable seating, equipment, cables, and free space for hands.

STL-026-3 is more suitable for a compact mixed scenario: a vanity table in the morning, short work with a laptop during the day. STL-026-5 offers more length, but with a confirmed height of 850 mm, it may be more convenient as a standing or decorative surface.

Before purchasing, it is better to choose one main function and check the dimensions specifically for it.

How to check cables and sockets

A working console requires power for a laptop, monitor, lamp, or charging devices.

Sockets should not be blocked by the apron, tabletop, or mirror.

For STL-026-5, the long surface allows you to spread out equipment, but the cable route is still planned in advance.

Before assembly, mark the connection points and ensure that the wall fixation does not intersect with hidden wiring.

How to choose a console for a painting or panel

If there is a painting instead of a mirror above the furniture, the width of the base should support its scale.

STL-026-3 is suitable for single medium-format work and leaves free margins.

STL-026-5 can serve as a base for a large panel or a group of images.

The hanging height is calculated from the finished countertop, not from the floor to the assembly.

How to organize lighting

One lamp is easier to place on STL-026-3 without overloading the surface.

STL-026-5 allows the use of paired lamps or a symmetrical composition on the sides of the mirror.

The weight of the lamps and the location of the wires are taken into account when choosing the countertop.

Wall sconces are placed after confirming the height of the console and mirror.

Why a ready-made frame is better than a random set of legs

The ready-made underframe already has agreed-upon width, depth, height, and a set of fittings.

A set of individual legs requires independent calculation of stretchers, rigidity, angles, and tabletop attachment.

STL-026-3 and STL-026-5 allow you to focus on choosing the size, finish, and top surface.

This does not eliminate the need to check stability, but it reduces the risk of assembling a base from incompatible parts.

For a final check, it is useful to print a wall plan with two options: compact 800 mm and wide 1200 mm. On one sheet, mark the tabletop, mirror, chair, outlets, doors, and possible wall mounting. Such a comparative layout helps to see which model actually solves the problem and which only seems more attractive in a photo.

Additionally, it is worth checking how the console will be used a few months after installation: whether there will be electronics, heavy books, a desk lamp, or new organizers on it. Such a forecast helps to immediately choose the appropriate width, tabletop depth, mounting method, and finish, rather than reworking the finished furniture after a change in the scenario.

Where to buy STL-026-3 and STL-026-5?

In the corresponding cards on the STAVROS website or through the console frame category.

How to check the final composition from a distance

The console is evaluated not only up close, but also from the entrance to the room.

STL-026-3 should look like a deliberate local object, not a too small detail on a long wall.

STL-026-5 should not overwhelm doorways and adjacent furniture.

A photo of full-size markings helps compare two models before purchase.

How to choose a color for a narrow hallway

Light enamel reduces visual mass and helps a compact console blend into the wall.

Dark oak or contrasting enamel emphasizes the 400 mm depth more strongly.

For STL-026-5 in a narrow room, contrast may be too heavy.

A finishing sample is placed next to doors, floor, and mirror.

How to choose a color for a spacious living room

On a large wall, the long STL-026-5 can become an independent furniture line.

Oak tint supports a natural interior, while solid-color enamel connects the base with the panels.

STL-026-3 is suitable as a point accent near an armchair or window.

The color is chosen together with the countertop, not after its fabrication.

How to maintain repairability

After assembly, the article number, size, material, color, and countertop details are retained.

The complete documentation and leftover finishing material are not discarded.

For STL-026-5, the confirmed height is recorded separately.

This data simplifies part replacement, reassembly, and ordering a second item.

How to care for painted beech

Care is determined by the chosen enamel and protective coating.

Dust is removed with a soft cloth without abrasives.

Do not leave water in connections and at lower supports.

Before local repair, test the compound on a spare sample.

How to care for tinted oak

Clean natural texture with products compatible with the finish coating.

Strong friction may alter the gloss on protruding areas.

Service the tabletop and underframe considering different materials if they differ.

First assess the damage, do not mask it with random stain.

How to accept the finished console after installation

Check the tabletop for levelness, support position, and absence of wobbling.

Doors, drawers, and passages must remain clear.

During wall mounting, the density and safety of the unit are assessed.

Final acceptance is carried out before placing heavy decor and equipment.

Final check before adding to cart

Check the model, size, material, finish, and delivery format.

For STL-026-5, confirm the height of 850 mm with the manager.

Determine the tabletop, overhangs, mounting, and the need for wall fixation.

After that, order a single set, not separate random parts.

Result: STL-026-3 800 mm or STL-026-5 1200 mm

STL-026-3 is chosen for a compact console, small vanity table, hallway, bedroom, and workspace with a laptop. The size 800 × 400 × 740 mm is easier to place on a short wall, under a mirror about 700–900 mm, and next to existing furniture. The height is closer to a seated scenario, but the final mark is still calculated with the tabletop.

STL-026-5 is suitable for a long console, large mirror, spacious hall, and wider work surface. The size according to the current table is 1200 × 400 × 850 mm. Due to discrepancies with the old description, the height must be confirmed before ordering. For a regular office chair, the model cannot be considered comfortable without a separate seating check.

Both bases are made of beech or oak, have a "Prestige" sanding finish, are supplied unassembled, and come with fittings. Beech is chosen for enamel, oak for tinting. The tabletop is selected based on size, weight, depth, overhangs, and attachment points; matching width alone does not confirm compatibility.
