What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low storage cabinet designed for dining rooms, typically used to store dishes, linens, and serving pieces while providing a surface for displaying food during meals. Unlike a console table, a sideboard offers enclosed storage rather than open shelving, making it ideal for hiding clutter while keeping essentials accessible. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, sideboards work in dining rooms, living rooms, entryways, and bedrooms for versatile storage.
What You Get With the Furniture Classics Lafayette Four Doors Wood Sideboard
- Hand-Carved Basket Weave Design -- Each of the four doors features an intricate basket weave pattern carved by hand, with white-wash finish settling into carved grooves to emphasize every detail.
- Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required, which is particularly important given the size and weight of this 78-inch piece.
- Sustainable Wood Construction -- Built from fir and recycled elm, combining new growth timber with reclaimed wood for an environmentally conscious approach.
- Substantial Storage Capacity -- Four hinged doors conceal deep cabinet storage across nearly 6.5 feet of width, ideal for large families who need to hide clutter.
Where Does a 78-Inch Sideboard Work Best?
This 78-inch credenza anchors a dining room behind a table, serving as both storage and buffet surface during meals. The 34-inch height also makes it suitable for living rooms as a media console or display cabinet.
