Antique Whitewash Extra Wide Sideboard

Large dining rooms expose the truth about most sideboards -- they're just too small to make any visual impact or provide meaningful storage. The Sarreid Antique Whitewash Extra Wide Sideboard is a 119-inch farmhouse sideboard built for dining rooms that need both commanding presence and serious storage, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. Crafted from reclaimed pine with an antique whitewash finish and natural old pine top, this extra-wide sideboard offers six doors of enclosed storage plus three removable shelves inside. At nearly 10 feet wide, it's designed for homes with formal dining tables that seat 10-12 people where standard 60-70 inch sideboards look undersized and inadequate.

Full Specifications

What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet designed primarily for dining room use, typically ranging from 60 to 84 inches wide with a height of 30-36 inches. Unlike a console table, a sideboard features enclosed storage through doors and drawers rather than open shelving. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, a sideboard provides both storage for dishes, linens, and serving pieces, plus a flat surface for displaying decor or serving food during meals. Best for dining rooms that need substantial storage without the height of a china cabinet or hutch.

Essential Features of the Sarreid Extra Wide Sideboard

1. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required. Ready to place and use immediately, which is crucial for a piece this size and weight.
2. Extra-Wide 119-Inch Footprint -- Nearly 10 feet of storage and display surface, designed for formal dining rooms with tables that seat 10-12 people. Most sideboards max out at 84 inches, leaving large dining rooms looking unbalanced.
3. Six Hinged Door Storage System -- Each door opens to reveal enclosed storage space with three removable shelves that you can adjust or remove entirely for taller items. The six-door configuration allows you to organize different types of items in separate compartments.
4. Reclaimed Pine Construction -- Built from reclaimed pine wood, making this an eco-friendly choice that reduces demand for newly harvested timber. Reclaimed wood also adds character through natural variations in grain and texture that new wood lacks.
5. Antique Whitewash Finish with Natural Top -- The base features a weathered whitewash finish that shows the wood grain beneath, while the top maintains the natural old pine color for contrast. This two-tone approach adds visual interest and prevents the large piece from looking monotonous.
6. 20-Inch Depth for Stability -- The substantial depth provides stability for the wide footprint and creates generous interior storage space. Most dining items, from serving platters to small appliances, fit comfortably inside.
7. 36-Inch Standard Height -- Positions the surface at perfect serving height for buffet-style meals while allowing wall art or a mirror to be hung above without overwhelming the space.
8. Country Farmhouse Styling -- The weathered finish, reclaimed wood construction, and clean lines work in farmhouse, cottage, and transitional dining rooms where you want rustic charm without heavy ornamentation.

Sizing Guide for Extra-Wide Sideboards

The rule is your sideboard should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For this 119-inch sideboard, you need a dining table at least 12-14 feet long (144-168 inches). That typically means a table that seats 10-12 people comfortably. Standard height for sideboards is 30-36 inches -- this piece at 36 inches provides comfortable serving surface height. Standard depth runs 16-18 inches -- this sideboard's 20-inch depth (51 cm) offers more interior storage than most. In room scale terms, you need a dining room at least 14 feet wide to accommodate this sideboard against a wall with adequate walking space. Allow minimum 36 inches of clearance in front for opening doors and serving. The 119-inch width (302 cm) works best in dining rooms 16 feet wide or larger.

Styling Your Sarreid Whitewash Sideboard

Position this sideboard along your dining room's longest wall, typically opposite the entry door where it becomes a focal point as guests enter. The extra-wide surface accommodates multiple decorative elements -- try three groupings: table lamps on either end (24-30 inches tall), a large piece of art or mirror centered above, and decorative objects like pottery, books, or plants in between. Inside storage works for fine china in one section, everyday dishes in another, linens in a third, and small appliances or serving pieces in the remaining spaces. For rug pairing, choose a dining room rug at least 9x12 feet to anchor both the dining table and sideboard in the same space. This piece also works as an entryway console in grand foyers or as bedroom storage in master suites with sitting areas. Consider pairing with upholstered dining chairs and farmhouse chandeliers to complete the country-inspired look.

Ideal for homeowners with formal dining rooms over 250 square feet who entertain regularly and need storage for extensive dishware and serving pieces. Interior designers specifying farmhouse or transitional dining rooms will appreciate the reclaimed wood construction and LOOMLAN's up to 40% trade discount with no minimum order. Well-suited for boutique hotel dining areas and vacation rental properties seeking furniture that ships fully assembled and provides the storage capacity needed for commercial dining service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sideboard fit in my dining room?

At 119 inches wide, you need a dining room at least 14 feet wide with a dining table 12-14 feet long. Measure wall-to-wall width and subtract 48 inches for walking space to determine if this sideboard will fit comfortably.

What's the difference between reclaimed pine and new pine wood?

Reclaimed pine comes from old buildings, barns, or furniture that's been repurposed rather than newly harvested. This gives the wood character through natural aging, nail holes, and grain variations you can't get with new lumber. At this price point, you get solid reclaimed wood construction typically found in pieces costing significantly more from specialty reclaimed furniture makers.

How long does assembly take?

This sideboard arrives fully assembled -- no assembly required. Due to its size and weight, professional delivery service is recommended for placement in your dining room.

Can interior designers get trade pricing on this sideboard?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail pricing with no minimum order requirement and approval in 1-2 business days. Much better than competitors who require $1,000+ minimums.

What's your return policy for large furniture?

LOOMLAN offers returns on furniture -- see the complete policy at loomlan.com/pages/returns. Given this sideboard's size, return shipping costs are significant, so measure carefully before ordering.

Can this be used as a TV stand?

While the dimensions could accommodate very large TVs (85+ inches), the 36-inch height is taller than ideal for TV viewing when seated on a sofa. Standard TV stand height runs 24-30 inches for comfortable viewing angles.

How does this compare to sideboards from West Elm or CB2?

Most mass retailers max out at 72-84 inch sideboards in veneer or engineered wood construction. This Sarreid piece offers genuine reclaimed solid pine construction in an extra-wide 119-inch size unavailable from mass market retailers, plus LOOMLAN's free shipping versus their delivery fees.
