What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low, long storage cabinet traditionally placed in dining rooms to hold servingware, linens, and tableware. Modern sideboards also function as media consoles and credenzas in living rooms, offering versatile storage with drawers and cabinets. The 63-inch width and 18-inch depth of the Highland Classic make it a standard sideboard profile suitable for buffet service or media equipment.
What You Get With the Essentials For Living Highland Classic Sideboard
- Fluted Wood Drawer Fronts -- textured vertical grooves add depth and a classic architectural detail to the oak veneer surface.

Where Does a 63-Inch Oak Sideboard Work Best?
Place this sideboard buffet along a dining room wall to hold serving platters, glassware, and table linens, or use it as a media console in a living room with the cord management holes routing cables for streaming devices and sound systems. Pair it with other dining room furniture in oak or walnut finishes, or anchor a living room furniture arrangement with its low 31.5-inch height that leaves wall space for artwork or mirrors.
