DWR advertises the Console as 70." This one measures just under 71," so there is factory variation in each piece. Be sure to measure your location carefully. Photo 2 - hole seen right side top, showing through slats, is where wires go out through the back. Photo 3 - remote control infrared light can be seen behind the slats.

For those who appreciate enduring design, you know that the DWR - Design Within Reach Line Media Console (part of the Herman Miller brand collective) is much more than furniture ~ it is an architectural statement. Seamlessly balancing beauty, functionality, and thoughtful engineering, this iconic piece in excellent condition brings refined utility to any space. Every element is intentional, resulting in a clean, transitional form that feels timeless rather than trend driven.

This particular Console is in outstanding condition. It offers exceptional storage capacity. Integrated drawers and shelving can easily accommodate books, albums or cassettes, DVDs, gaming systems, recording equipment, PlayStation and/or Apple TV accessories ~ far more storage than one might expect from such a streamlined silhouette.

Functionality is where this piece truly distinguishes itself. The louvered front slat panels fold down smoothly on precision arms that glide effortlessly, while drawers open and close seamlessly. I especially love that media components are discreetly concealed behind the slats while allowing remote controls to function without obstruction. Thoughtfully placed, minimalist openings in the back also keep wiring hidden and organized, preserving the integrity of the design while eliminating visual clutter. No messes or clutter!

This Console also has been lovingly cared for and is in excellent condition, free of any visible blemishes or damage. It has been meticulously maintained and presents beautifully. Plus, over the years of ownership, this Console has steadily increased in value as reflected in Design Within Reach’s own pricing ~ making it not only a solid design choice but a smart long-term investment.

Maintenance is refreshingly simple. A light pass with a soft duster through the slats, followed by a gentle dusting of the top surface, is all that’s required. It is truly a low-maintenance piece designed for real living.

Versatile by design, this Console complements transitional, modern, and even layered traditional interiors with ease. It works equally well in a media room with a television placed on top or mounted above, in a library storing books and media, or in a bedroom styled with restraint. Its storage-forward design makes it especially valuable in smaller homes or studio apartments where efficiency and elegance must coexist.

With a core constructed of solid American walnut wood and finished in walnut veneer, this piece is not only gorgeous but built to last. Its timeless design, enduring materials, and architectural clarity make it a piece worthy of being passed down through generations.
