Red oak charging sofa console

A sofa-back console in honey-toned red oak, only 260mm deep and 720mm high so it tucks behind a sofa floated off the wall: sockets and USB chargers set flush in the top, a hidden wireless pad at one end and a cable tray underneath. It takes the place of side tables and trailing extension leads, and turns the back of the sofa into a lamp table, a drop for phones and a low shelf for baskets.
