65" Two Tone White & Black Small Wood Credenza

The hardest part about finding the right dining room storage isn't the style or size -- it's finding a piece that balances clean lines with personality without overwhelming your space. The Bassett Mirror Two Tone Black and White Small Wood Credenza is a 65-inch Boho Coastal sideboard built for contemporary dining rooms that want natural texture with streamlined proportions, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. This thoughtfully designed piece pairs matte black oak construction with natural rattan cane door inserts, creating visual interest while maintaining the refined proportions needed for smaller dining spaces. At 30 inches high and 16 inches deep, it fits beautifully against dining room walls without protruding into walkways, while the 65-inch width provides substantial storage for table linens, serving pieces, and everyday dining essentials.

What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low, horizontal storage cabinet designed specifically for dining rooms to store dishes, linens, and serving pieces while providing a surface for serving food during meals. Unlike a console table which is primarily decorative, a sideboard offers enclosed storage with doors and sometimes drawers, making it ideal for hiding clutter while keeping dining essentials easily accessible. Also known as a credenza or buffet cabinet, a sideboard is best for dining rooms that need both storage and a serving surface during entertaining, typically ranging from 30-36 inches in height to work comfortably for serving.

Design Elements That Define the Bassett Mirror Credenza

1. Natural Rattan Cane Door Inserts -- These aren't just decorative panels, they're functional elements that allow air circulation while hiding stored items. The open box-weave pattern adds texture and visual lightness to what could otherwise be a heavy-looking piece, making it perfect for smaller dining spaces that need storage without visual weight.
2. Two-Tone Black and Natural Finish -- The matte black oak frame provides contemporary sophistication while the natural light cane creates warmth and coastal appeal. This contrast prevents the piece from looking too stark or too casual, making it versatile enough for both modern and transitional dining rooms.
3. Sleek Sled-Style Metal Base -- The iron sled legs elevate the cabinet both literally and visually, creating an airy feeling underneath while providing rock-solid stability for the 163-pound cabinet. This base style is particularly smart for households with robot vacuums or anyone who likes to clean underneath furniture easily.
4. Antique Brass Bar Pull Hardware -- These aren't the usual brushed nickel pulls you see everywhere. The antique brass adds warmth that complements the natural cane while maintaining the sophisticated feel of the matte black finish, creating a curated rather than catalog look.
5. Enclosed Four-Door Storage System -- All storage is hidden behind hinged doors with two adjustable interior shelves, meaning you can customize the interior height for everything from tall serving pitchers to stacks of dinner plates. No exposed shelving means no dusting of displayed items.
6. Built-in Cable Management -- Even though this is designed as dining storage, the included cord management makes it versatile enough to use as a media console or office credenza if your needs change, adding long-term value to your investment.
7. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools, no setup, no missing hardware frustrations. This 163-pound cabinet arrives ready to place and use immediately, which is particularly valuable given the intricate cane door construction that would be nearly impossible to assemble correctly at home.
8. Commercial-Quality Construction -- Made from manufactured wood with a refined frame design and sturdy metal legs, this piece is built for daily use and entertaining rather than occasional decorative storage, making it suitable for busy family dining rooms and commercial hospitality applications.

Determining the Right Credenza Size for Your Dining Area

The fundamental rule for sideboard proportions is that your credenza should be no more than two-thirds the length of your dining table. For a standard 96-inch dining table that seats 8 people, this 65-inch credenza hits the sweet spot perfectly. If you have a smaller 72-inch table, the proportions still work beautifully without overwhelming the room. At 30 inches high (76 cm), it provides the ideal serving height -- comfortable for adults to set down serving dishes without bending, and the 16-inch depth (41 cm) means it won't intrude into your dining room traffic flow even in smaller spaces. For room planning, allow at least 36 inches of clearance behind dining chairs when they're pulled out, which means this credenza needs about 52 inches total from your table edge to the wall.

Styling Your Boho Coastal Dining Room

Position this credenza along your main dining room wall, ideally centered behind the dining table or offset to one side if you have a corner location. The natural rattan doors make it perfect for storing everything from seasonal table linens to good china, while the top surface becomes your staging area for entertaining. Style the top with a pair of table lamps for ambient lighting during dinner parties, or create a vignette with a large round tray, some coastal-inspired pottery, and a few coffee table books. The 65-inch width gives you plenty of space for layered styling without looking cluttered. For rug pairing, choose at least an 8x10 rug that extends 24 inches beyond your dining table on all sides, which will also ground the credenza visually. This piece works beautifully as a bar cabinet in a living room, an entryway storage piece in larger homes, or even as a media console in a bedroom or family room thanks to the built-in cable management.

Perfect for growing families furnishing their first formal dining room who need substantial storage that won't outgrow their space as their entertaining style evolves. Interior designers working on coastal or boho-inspired dining rooms will appreciate the quality rattan work and LOOMLAN's up to 40% trade discount with no minimum order requirement. Well-suited for boutique hotel dining areas and vacation rental properties where the piece needs to look residential but handle commercial use while arriving fully assembled for easy installation.

Common Questions About This Bassett Mirror Credenza

Will this work as a TV stand for my 65-inch television?

Yes, the 65-inch width is perfect for a 65-inch TV (which measures about 57 inches wide), and the built-in cable management handles all your AV components. The 30-inch height puts the center of your screen at ideal viewing height for most sofas. The enclosed storage keeps gaming consoles, cable boxes, and media clutter completely hidden.

How durable is the rattan cane construction for everyday use?

The natural rattan is woven into a sturdy box-weave pattern and backed by the solid door frame, making it much more durable than decorative rattan panels you might find on mass-market furniture. The cane naturally flexes slightly, which actually makes it more resilient to impacts than solid wood panels. At this price point, you're getting handcrafted rattan work typically found in pieces costing significantly more from specialty retailers.

Does this require any assembly when it arrives?

No assembly required whatsoever. This arrives fully assembled and ready to use immediately. Given the intricate rattan door construction and the 163-pound weight, full assembly is actually a major advantage -- you won't have to worry about aligning the cane panels correctly or supporting the weight during setup.

Is trade pricing available for interior designers?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail with no minimum order requirement and 1-2 day approval. This is significantly better than competitors -- Crate & Barrel Trade offers 25% off with a $1,000 minimum, while Arhaus requires 30% off with a $2,500 minimum.

What's your return policy if this doesn't work in my space?

LOOMLAN offers returns within the specified return window. Full details and return process information is available at https://loomlan.com/pages/returns. Given that this ships fully assembled, we recommend double-checking your door widths and room measurements before ordering.

How does this compare to similar pieces from West Elm or CB2?

The key difference is construction quality and shipping. This features genuine handwoven rattan doors and solid manufactured wood construction that arrives fully assembled, while most mass retailers offer printed wood-look finishes with flat-pack assembly. You're also getting antique brass hardware and sled-style metal legs rather than basic wood or plastic components, plus LOOMLAN's free shipping with no minimum order.

Can I use this as a bar cabinet for cocktail entertaining?

Absolutely. The interior shelves adjust to accommodate tall bottles, the enclosed storage keeps bar tools organized, and the top surface is perfect for a bar cart setup. The sophisticated black and natural finish works beautifully in living rooms, and the cable management even lets you add under-cabinet lighting if desired.
