A console table with shelves you can configure to whatever the entryway needs.

Open storage shelves that reconfigure horizontally or vertically — combine into a long behind-couch layout or stack into a tall hallway storage piece. Modern finish, slim profile, the kind of versatility that earns its keep through multiple apartments.

Holds baskets, books, framed photos, the front-door accumulation.

For the apartment that's still figuring out what the entryway should be. Adapts as the answer changes.
