Open storage versus closed cabinets -- that's the design debate every minimalist faces when shopping for dining room storage. The Artesia Adelle Sideboard is a 63-inch Contemporary open-storage sideboard built for dining rooms that need display space for dishes and serving pieces, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. This smoke brown finish wooden sideboard features four open compartments instead of doors, making it ideal for showcasing dinnerware collections and keeping frequently used items easily accessible. The Artesia design philosophy centers on clean lines and practical storage that doesn't hide your beautiful dishes behind closed doors.
Unlike closed-door credenzas that hide everything from view, the Adelle's open design lets you curate what guests see while still providing substantial storage capacity. The smoke brown finish brings warmth to contemporary dining spaces without the heaviness of traditional dark wood pieces. You'll find this particularly useful if you host regularly -- serving pieces, wine glasses, and seasonal dishes stay organized and ready to use.
What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low, wide storage piece designed for dining rooms, typically 30-36 inches tall with storage compartments for dishes, linens, and serving pieces. Unlike a console table which is purely decorative, a sideboard provides functional storage while offering surface space for serving food or displaying decor. Also known as a credenza or buffet cabinet, sideboards are best for dining rooms that need both storage and serving surface without overwhelming the space with tall furniture.
Essential Features of the Artesia Adelle Sideboard
- Open Compartment Design -- Four spacious open compartments let you display dinnerware collections while keeping frequently used items accessible. No fumbling with cabinet doors when you're setting up for dinner parties or grabbing everyday dishes.
- Smoke Brown Wood Finish -- The rich smoke brown finish adds warmth to contemporary spaces without the formality of traditional dark wood. This versatile color pairs well with both warm and cool color schemes in modern dining rooms.
- Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required. Ready to place and use immediately, which is particularly valuable for heavy wooden furniture that would be challenging to assemble in your dining room.
- Two Size Options Available -- Choose medium or large based on your dining room scale and storage needs. The medium works well with 6-person dining tables, while the large accommodates 8-10 person dining setups.
- Contemporary Clean Lines -- The streamlined design works in both formal dining rooms and casual eat-in kitchens. No ornate details or traditional styling that might clash with modern decor.
- Solid Wood Construction -- Built from quality wood rather than particle board or MDF, ensuring durability for daily use and the weight capacity needed for dishes, glassware, and serving pieces.
- Generous Surface Space -- The wide top provides ample room for serving dishes during meals or displaying decorative objects like lamps, artwork, or plants when not entertaining.
- Versatile Height Compatibility -- At standard sideboard height, this piece works equally well for dining room storage or as a media console for smaller TVs in bedrooms or secondary living spaces.
Choosing the Right Sideboard Size for Your Dining Room
The standard rule for sideboards is they should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For a 72-inch dining table, choose a sideboard up to 48 inches wide. For an 84-inch table, you can go up to 56 inches. The Adelle sideboard's proportions work well with most standard dining tables, providing substantial storage without overwhelming the room visually.
Standard sideboard height ranges from 30-36 inches, allowing comfortable access to the surface while maintaining proper proportions with dining chairs. Standard depth runs 16-18 inches, deep enough for dinner plates and serving pieces but not so deep that items get lost in the back. Consider leaving at least 36 inches of walkway space around your sideboard for comfortable movement during meals and entertaining.
For room planning, measure your dining room's width and subtract 72 inches (for a typical dining table plus chairs). The remaining space determines your maximum sideboard width while maintaining comfortable traffic flow around the furniture.
Display and Storage Ideas for Open Compartments
The Adelle's open design works best when you treat each compartment as a curated display area. Store everyday dishes in the center compartments where they're most accessible, and reserve the outer sections for decorative pieces or seasonal items. Stack dinner plates with salad plates on top, arrange glassware by type and size, and dedicate one section to serving pieces you use regularly.
For styling the top surface, follow the rule of thirds: place a table lamp on one side, leave the center open for serving during meals, and add a decorative object or small plant on the other side. A 6x9 foot rug minimum works well to anchor the sideboard with your dining table and chairs. Consider the Adelle as a bar setup in open-plan homes -- the open storage displays glassware beautifully while keeping bar tools and bottles organized.
This sideboard also functions well in large living rooms as media storage, in entryways for linens and extra lighting, or in bedrooms for clothing and accessories. Pair with dining chairs that complement the smoke brown finish, or add table lamps for task lighting during evening meals.
Ideal for young professionals furnishing their first dining room who need substantial storage that doesn't look too formal or traditional for their contemporary lifestyle. Interior designers specifying organic modern or contemporary dining rooms will appreciate the clean lines and LOOMLAN's up to 40% trade discount with no minimum order requirement. Well-suited for boutique hotel dining areas and vacation rental properties seeking furniture that looks residential but ships fully assembled and provides attractive storage for linens and serving pieces.
Common Questions About the Adelle Sideboard
- What are the exact dimensions for both size options?
- Specific measurements aren't provided in the product data, but medium and large options are available. Contact LOOMLAN at 833-566-6526 for precise dimensions to ensure proper fit in your dining room.
- How does solid wood compare to veneer sideboards at this price point?
- At this price point, you get solid wood construction typically found in pieces costing significantly more from mass retailers. Unlike veneer over particle board (common in similar pieces from West Elm or CB2), solid wood provides better durability for daily use and the weight capacity needed for dishes and glassware.
- Does this require any assembly?
- The Adelle arrives fully assembled -- no tools or setup required. This is a significant advantage over flat-pack furniture from retailers like IKEA or Article, where you'd spend hours assembling a piece this size.
- Can I get trade pricing for design projects?
- Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail with no minimum order and approval in 1-2 business days. This compares favorably to Crate & Barrel Trade (25% off with $1,000 minimum) or Arhaus Trade (30% off with $2,500 minimum). Apply free at LOOMLAN's trade program.
- What's your return policy if this doesn't fit my space?
- LOOMLAN offers returns within the specified timeframe. Full details are available at LOOMLAN's returns page, including information about return shipping for large furniture items.
- Can this work as a TV stand for bedroom use?
- Yes, the sideboard height and open compartments work well for smaller TVs (up to about 50 inches) in bedrooms or secondary living areas. The open design provides ventilation for media components and cable management access.
- How does this compare to closed-door sideboards for families with pets?
- Open storage requires more attention to organization since everything is visible, but it's actually easier to clean and prevents pets from getting into closed cabinets. Consider your household's organization style and whether you prefer display storage or hidden storage.
