What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low, horizontal cabinet typically placed against a dining room wall to provide storage and serving surface during meals. Unlike a console table which focuses on display, a sideboard prioritizes enclosed storage with doors and drawers for dishes, linens, and serving pieces. Also known as a credenza or buffet cabinet, a sideboard typically stands 30-36 inches tall and ranges from 48-72 inches wide. Best for dining rooms that need both storage space and a surface for serving food or displaying decor items during gatherings.

What You Get With the 68" Perrine Brown & Gold Wooden Credenza

1. Fully Assembled Delivery -- Arrives completely assembled and ready to place in your dining room. No tools, no setup, no weekend spent wrestling with instruction manuals. The Bassett Mirror Perrine ships as a finished piece you can position and start using immediately.
2. Geometric Gold Door Carvings -- Four doors feature intricate geometric patterns finished in contrasting gold that catch and reflect light throughout the day. These aren't applied overlays that can peel -- the patterns are carved into the wood itself and finished with durable metallic coating that maintains its luster through regular use.
3. Custom Acrylic Hardware -- Bassett Mirror designed exclusive acrylic door pulls specifically for the Perrine collection. The clear hardware creates a floating effect that lets the geometric door patterns remain the visual focus while providing a comfortable grip that won't tarnish or require polishing like metal hardware.
4. Mixed Material Construction -- Built with rubberwood solids for the frame structure and oak veneers for the visible surfaces, creating durability where you need it most while achieving the rich wood grain appearance. The metal tapered legs provide stability and elevate the cabinet for easier cleaning underneath.
5. Adjustable Interior Storage -- Three adjustable shelves inside let you customize the interior space for everything from dinner plates to wine bottles. Shelf positions adjust on sturdy metal supports that hold their position even when fully loaded with dishes or glassware.
6. Integrated Cord Management -- Discrete cable management keeps power cords organized if you choose to use this as a media console or bar cabinet with small appliances. The system routes cords cleanly without visible holes or gaps that compromise the cabinet's finished appearance.
7. Two-Tone Finish System -- The main cabinet showcases a rich brown oak finish while the tapered legs and base feature the same gold accent treatment as the door carvings. This coordinated approach ties the piece together visually while adding depth that prevents the large cabinet from appearing monotonous.
8. Spacious Single Drawer -- One large drawer provides easy-access storage for smaller items like cloth napkins, serving utensils, or candles. The drawer operates on smooth metal guides and features the same brown oak finish as the main cabinet for visual consistency.

What Size Sideboard Do I Need for My Dining Room?

The rule for dining room sideboards is simple: your credenza should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For a 96-inch table that seats 8-10 people, the Perrine's 68-inch width (172 cm) fits perfectly within this guideline. The standard sideboard height of 32-36 inches puts serving surfaces at the right level for most dining chairs, while the 18-inch depth provides substantial storage without protruding too far into the room. In dining rooms smaller than 12x14 feet, position the Perrine on the longest wall with at least 36 inches of clearance behind dining chairs when they're pulled out for seating. For larger dining spaces, you can center the credenza on a wall or use it to divide an open-plan dining and living area. The tapered legs raise the cabinet enough to maintain visual flow while the 68-inch width provides serious storage capacity without overwhelming rooms with 9-foot ceilings.

How to Style the Perrine Credenza in Your Dining Room

Position the Bassett Mirror Perrine against your dining room's longest wall, ideally opposite or adjacent to your dining table rather than behind it where chairs would block access. The geometric gold door patterns work beautifully with warm metallic accents -- consider table lamps with brass bases or copper finishes that echo the gold without competing. On top, create visual balance with items in odd numbers: a pair of medium-height ceramic vases flanking a decorative bowl or serving tray works well on the 68-inch surface. The rich brown oak pairs naturally with deep jewel tones -- burgundy, navy, or forest green accessories enhance the wood tones without clashing with the gold accents.

Inside the Perrine, use the adjustable shelving to create zones: everyday dishes on lower shelves, special occasion pieces higher up, and frequently used serving pieces in the drawer. The cord management system makes this credenza equally effective as a bar cabinet -- store glassware on the shelves and run power to a wine fridge or cocktail mixer. For area rugs, choose something at least 8x10 feet that extends beyond both the credenza and your dining table. The Perrine's sophisticated finish works with both traditional Persian patterns and contemporary geometric designs, as long as the rug includes warm brown or gold tones that tie the room together.

Ideal for homeowners with formal dining rooms who entertain regularly and need storage that impresses guests while handling the practical demands of dinner parties. Interior designers specifying Modern Glam dining rooms for upscale residential projects will appreciate the distinctive geometric detailing and LOOMLAN's up to 40% trade discount with no minimum order requirements. Well-suited for boutique hotels and luxury vacation rental properties seeking statement pieces that photograph well and withstand frequent use while maintaining their sophisticated appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the maximum dining table size this credenza works with?

Following the 2/3 rule, the 68-inch Perrine pairs perfectly with dining tables up to 102 inches long. That covers most 8-10 person dining tables. For larger tables, you'd want to consider adding a second storage piece or choosing a longer credenza to maintain proper visual proportions in your dining room.

Is this solid wood or veneer construction?

The Perrine combines both -- rubberwood solids for the structural frame with oak veneers on the visible surfaces. This mixed construction approach gives you the durability of solid wood where it matters most while achieving the rich grain patterns that make oak so desirable. At this price point, you get construction quality typically found in pieces costing significantly more at traditional furniture retailers.

Does this require any assembly?

No assembly required. The Bassett Mirror Perrine arrives fully assembled and ready to place in your dining room. Unlike flat-pack furniture that requires weekend assembly projects, this credenza ships as a finished piece you can position and start using immediately.

Can I get trade pricing on this credenza?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail pricing with no minimum order requirement. Approval typically takes 1-2 business days, and trade pricing displays automatically after login -- no coupon codes needed. This beats most competitors like Crate & Barrel's 25% trade discount with $1,000 minimum orders.

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

LOOMLAN offers returns on furniture within the timeframe specified in our returns policy. Given the fully assembled delivery, we recommend checking your doorway and room measurements carefully before ordering. The Perrine measures 68 inches wide by 18 inches deep by 35 inches tall.

Can this be used as a TV stand?

While the Perrine wasn't designed specifically as a media console, its 68-inch width and 35-inch height could accommodate TVs up to about 65 inches. However, the geometric door carvings and gold accents make this piece more suited to dining room storage than media room use. For TV-specific features like ventilation and cable management, consider our dedicated TV stands.

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

The Perrine offers solid wood frame construction and fully assembled delivery, while most West Elm and CB2 sideboards in this price range use veneer-over-particle-board construction and require assembly. The custom acrylic hardware and hand-carved geometric patterns are details you won't find in mass-market furniture. Plus, LOOMLAN's trade program offers better discounts than CB2's 25% with minimum orders.
