What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet traditionally used in dining rooms to hold serving dishes, linens, and tableware, though modern designs work equally well in entryways or living rooms. Unlike a credenza -- which typically has shorter legs or sits flush on the floor -- a sideboard often features a visible base and stands at standard table height. The Thomson sideboard sits 30 inches high, making it an ideal surface for buffet service or display.
What You Get With the Noir Thomson Sideboard
- 80-Inch Walnut Top Surface -- expansive display area for decor, serveware, or everyday storage needs.
- Ribbed Wood Texture -- vertical grooves across the walnut veneer add depth and tactile interest to the cabinet faces.
- Matte Black Steel Base -- industrial metal framework lifts the cabinet and provides architectural contrast to the warm wood tones.
- Robust 143-Pound Construction -- solid build quality ensures stability and long-term durability in high-traffic spaces.
- Ample Storage Compartments -- interior shelving keeps dishes, linens, and electronics organized and out of sight.
- Modern Minimalist Profile -- rectangular silhouette and clean lines suit contemporary, mid-century, or transitional interiors.
Where Does a Long Wooden Sideboard Work Best?
Place the Thomson behind a dining table as a buffet station, flanked by pendant lighting or mirrors to balance its 80-inch length. In open-plan layouts, use it as a low room divider between the dining zone and living room, topped with sculptural objects or a gallery of framed prints. The dark walnut pairs naturally with other solid wood pieces or serves as a grounding anchor in lighter, neutral palettes.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How tall should a sideboard be
- Most sideboards stand 30-36 inches high; the Thomson measures 30 inches, aligning with standard dining table height and making it comfortable for buffet service or display.
- What is the difference between a sideboard and a credenza
- Sideboards typically feature taller legs and a visible base, while credenzas sit lower with minimal or no legs and often have sliding doors; the Thomson's black steel base clearly identifies it as a sideboard.
- What do you put in a dining room sideboard
- Store table linens, serving platters, flatware, glassware, and seasonal tableware inside; use the top for a beverage station, decorative bowls, or a lamp and artwork.
