What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet typically placed against a dining room wall to store dinnerware, linens, and serving pieces. Unlike a console table, which is primarily decorative, a sideboard provides enclosed storage with doors and often drawers. Also known as a buffet or credenza, sideboards range from 48 to 84 inches wide and stand 30-36 inches tall.

What You Get With the Sarreid Scrubboard Ebony Front Wood Sideboard

1. Solid Reclaimed Pine Construction -- Unlike many sideboards at this price point that use veneer over MDF, this piece is built from solid reclaimed wood throughout, meaning it can handle heavy serving pieces and any minor scratches can be sanded and refinished.
2. Four Hinged Doors with Scrubboard Detail -- Traditional hinges give you full access to interior storage, and each door features scrubboard front texture that adds visual interest while maintaining minimalist lines.
3. Two Removable Interior Shelves -- Reposition or remove shelves entirely to accommodate tall vases, stacks of dinner plates, or folded tablecloths based on your storage needs.
4. 71-Inch Width for Large Dining Rooms -- Nearly six feet of surface area provides substantial serving space and works with dining tables seating 8-12 people, following the design guideline that your sideboard should be about 2/3 the length of your table.
5. Ebony Brown Finish with Visible Grain -- The rich ebony brown stain enhances the natural wood grain rather than hiding it, creating depth and organic warmth.

Where Does a 71-Inch Sideboard Work Best?

This 71-inch sideboard is ideal for dining rooms with rectangular tables seating 10-12, positioned against a long wall opposite windows or centered behind the table. The 17-inch depth and floor-mounted design make it suitable for high-traffic spaces, and the organic modern style pairs well with both rustic solid wood furniture and contemporary pieces in open-plan living areas.
