At 34 inches tall and 17 inches deep, this sideboard delivers the swirled grain patterns and rich character of exotic wood through real mappa burl veneer over oak veneer construction.

What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low, horizontal storage cabinet designed specifically for dining room use, typically featuring doors or drawers for storing dishes, serving pieces, and linens. Unlike a console table, a sideboard offers enclosed storage to keep items dust-free while providing a flat surface for serving food. The standard height of 30-36 inches makes it ideal for accessing stored items and for use as a serving station during meals.
What You Get With the LH Imports Mappa Sideboard
- Genuine Mappa Burl Veneer -- Real mappa burl veneer over MDF substrate delivers stunning swirled grain patterns with natural variations that make each piece unique.
- Ships Fully Assembled -- No tools, hardware, or assembly required; arrives completely built and ready to place in your dining room.
- Three Equal Storage Compartments -- Each hinged door opens to interior storage measuring approximately 20.75 x 14.75 inches with organized space for dinnerware, serving pieces, and linens.
- 65-Inch Width -- Sized to complement dining tables that seat 6-8 people, providing ample storage and serving surface for formal or everyday use.
- Contemporary Design -- Tapered wood legs with 48-inch leg span create a modern profile that works in both traditional and contemporary dining rooms.
Where Does a 65-Inch Sideboard Work Best?
This 65-inch buffet cabinet works beautifully in dining rooms behind or adjacent to tables that seat 6-8, where it provides both storage and a serving surface during meals. The 17-inch depth keeps it from protruding too far into the room, while the 34-inch height allows you to display art or mirrors above it. Pair it with other sideboards and credenzas in similar wood tones, or use it in open-concept living rooms as a media console or bar cabinet.
