I knew a lady that called it a credenza, some call it a sideboard and buffet table but to me all these go in a dining room.

I've only ever known it as a console or sofa table as well. Has the word you were thinking of come to you Mima?

Chalk up another vote as a Console. We had one when I was a kid - many eons ago. So did my grandparents.

demi-lune (or something like that)?

A demi-lune table is a half circle table . Demi: half Lune: moon

I always heard sofa-table. Hunt boards or hunt tables could be used for sofa tables, but
are meant for dining room use.

So, Mima????

{#emotions_dlg.biggrin} Inquiring minds want to know if anyone has answered your question {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

I would vote sofa table or console table, but there have been several other suggestions that sound a little less common. Let us know if you figure it out.

I'm interested in hearing back from the OP as to whether she ever figured it out. I Googled it and couldn't find another name for console or sofa table. Those are the only two names I've ever heard it called.

Can you find one by looking at an Ethan Allen web site? Or another furniture place?

Can you find one by looking at an Ethan Allen web site? Or another furniture place? Art Van called them Sofa tables. Think someone here mentioned that already.
