Console

Hello,

Coud you please say whether you refer to any piece of furniture

with the word "console"? It's not necessary that the full furniture

appellation was comprised of this single word; "console" may

constitute only its part. And it's not necessarily should be a full

piece of furniture, but only a part =) I feel that I heard somebody

referring to something in the kitchen as to some "console", but I

cannot recollect Emotion: sad

Thanks in advance.

Then how do you usually call such elements of furniture like

described in your second example? A

cabinet, a cupboard, One of these two, I suppose. I seldom talk about such things,as I don't have one.
