Q: I am looking for either this exact low console table or something similar. I currently have one, drawer-less, that i use for my laptop (I like sitting on the floor) and tv. It works perfectly with the sloped walls of my attic bedroom. I have painted my old one several times, but I can't get anymore life out of it at this point.I also like the draw storage and ethnic vibe on this model pictured. I need it to be at least 72" long.
Can anyone help?

Try your local Asian Import shop
Where did you obtain the image? That would seem a logical starting point for determining a source for the console.
Otherwise, if you find something you like that is too tall, you could chop the legs to the desired length. The legs shown look to be straight-cut on the bottom.
I also second just finding a reg. height console table of your liking and chopping the legs off.
It gives you more options then finding a particular/non-standard console height
I would check out Craigslist, local thrift/vintage furniture shops and oh overstock.
You're struggle may be with the 72" requirement.
Estate sales. Get on a good email forward for estate sales in your area. I see those all the time.
Think you could best find something like this by searching for coffee tables online, as this looks like what is usually known as a coffee table to me, at that low height. You'll have to look hard to find the right length, but that's always the case when llooking for something specific.
It would be vary easy to make one of these, if you have the tools/skills/desire ... a couple of laminated pine craft boards, smaller boards to create the sides and divide up the length, and some legs. Depending on the style you are trying to achieve, you could add some decorative molding. You could use shallow baskets as an alternative to drawers ... prime and paint and you're done.

they have a lot of things similar to what you seem to be looking for, usually listed under 'altar tables'
I think you could hack something from Ikea. They certainly have pieces that are 72" long and you can add shorter legs.
I hacked a table from Ikea -- just as previous posters suggested, I just cut the legs down. It works really well!
I was going to say to use a coffee table, but the leg choppin' is smarter.
i know a taller console that is similar...I am an interior designer, Citera Design

Could you go with two tables to achieve the 6ft requirement?
