Console radios are radios that sit in a wooden cabinet on the floor. The cabinet is generally taller than it is wide, and the controls may be located on the front or top. One variety, the chairside, is smaller, with controls on top to provide easy access from an armchair. Consoles were treated as decor, creating a theater feeling when radio programs came on. Kids would crowd around and listen.
