Post pics nd actual measurements

Thank you!

Our home. Excuse the builder, he was doing a YouTube on our home.

This is not our home but same floorplan and you can see the front door.

I’d measure with the door fully open first to make sure the table won’t interfere with it or the walkway. and Yes, you can place the table behind the door. I’d prioritize the door swing and walking clearance over centering the table perfectly on the wall.

If the space is tricky, please DM us and we can help you design.

I wouldn't make centering the table the goal. With only about 34 inches available, I'd try a very shallow console or a half-round table, around 8 to 10 inches deep, and let it sit off center if that keeps the path clear.

Before buying, tape the full outline on the floor and wall, then open the door all the way. Make sure the handle can't hit the table or anything sitting on it. A doorstop can protect the furniture, but it shouldn't reduce the opening. If even a shallow table pinches the walkway, a small wall-mounted ledge with a mirror above it will give you a drop spot without using much floor space.

If the table sits fully behind the door, you can't reach it while the door is open, which is exactly when you're setting down keys and mail. Worth thinking about before committing to that spot.

When you measure with the door open, include the knob or lever, not just the door itself. That's another couple of inches, and it's what hits the table first. Also check that a lamp or tray won't block your light switch.

For the off-center problem, hang the mirror centered over the table rather than over the wall. The grouping looks intentional, and nobody notices the wall isn't symmetrical.

A depth of 10–12 inches handles keys and mail fine while keeping the walkway clear. Tape the outline on the floor first and swing the door, five minutes and you'll know for sure.

This one is off center, but they don't have much depth next to the door, which you seem to have. I think you have room for a longer console.

This one has a bit more depth than you seem to have, but I think the idea would still work for your foyer.

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions! Now I can choose from one of the many tables I have saved in my shopping cart. I appreciate your help!

I agree with other posters - a very shallow console table is about all the space can accommodate.
