Which furniture piece is attached to the wall and supported by two legs, sometimes with drawers?

• A. Bureau Plat
• B. Console tables
• C. Commodes
• D. Tabouret

Answer: (B)

This question hinges on recognizing a piece designed to sit against a wall and be supported mainly by two end legs, with a shallow surface that sometimes includes small drawers. That description fits a console table. Console tables are intentionally narrow and are placed against walls in foyers or behind seating; the top is supported at each end by two legs, and a shallow drawer or two may be included for small items. They are distinct from freestanding desks or chests, which rely on four legs and are not meant to be mounted against a wall. The other options describe freestanding furniture: a writing desk with a broad work surface and multiple drawers, a chest of drawers on a base, or a small stool with no wall attachment.
