Anubis Three Doors Black Sideboard

When you need a sideboard that commands attention but doesn't overpower a room, most furniture stores offer you two extremes -- boring boxes or overly ornate pieces that cost twice your budget. The NOIR Anubis Three Doors Black Sideboard is a 60-inch Contemporary mahogany sideboard built for dining rooms and living spaces that need substantial storage with geometric sophistication, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. Handcrafted from solid mahogany with NOIR's signature "pale" black finish and striking geometric picket relief door fronts, this piece bridges the gap between modern minimalism and artisanal craftsmanship. At 30 inches high and 22 inches deep, it provides the perfect proportions for both dining room buffet service and living room media storage without dominating your space.

What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low, wide cabinet designed primarily for dining room storage and serving, typically measuring 30-36 inches high and featuring both open and closed storage compartments. Unlike a console table which is purely decorative, a sideboard offers substantial enclosed storage for dishes, linens, serving pieces, and seasonal items while providing a flat surface for food service during dinner parties. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza depending on regional preferences, a sideboard is best for dining rooms that need both everyday storage and elegant entertaining capability.

Key Features of the NOIR Anubis Black Sideboard

1. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required. Ready to place and use immediately upon delivery, which is particularly valuable given this piece weighs 170 pounds and would be challenging to assemble in your home.
2. Solid Mahogany Construction -- Built entirely from solid mahogany wood, not veneer over particle board like mass-market alternatives. This means the piece can be refinished if needed and will develop a richer patina over time with proper care.
3. NOIR's Signature "Pale" Black Finish -- A sophisticated matte black finish with rubbed edges that reveals the wood grain beneath, creating depth and visual interest. This finish technique prevents the flat, painted look common in less expensive black furniture.
4. Geometric Picket Relief Door Fronts -- Handcrafted raised geometric patterns on each door front add texture and visual weight without requiring decorative hardware. Each door features traditional hinges for reliable, quiet operation.
5. Sled Base Design -- The continuous sled base provides stability while creating a floating appearance. This design choice also makes cleaning underneath easier compared to individual legs, which tend to collect dust and debris.
6. Finished Back Panel -- Unlike many sideboards that have unfinished backs, the Anubis can be used as a room divider or positioned away from walls, giving you more flexibility in furniture placement.
7. Interior Storage with Shelving -- Multiple interior shelves provide organized storage for dishware, serving pieces, table linens, and other dining essentials. The enclosed design keeps items dust-free and visually organized.
8. Handcrafted Variations -- As a handmade piece, each Anubis sideboard shows slight variations in wood grain, finish depth, and distressing that make your piece unique. These variations are considered desirable characteristics of artisan furniture, not defects.

Sizing Guidelines for 60-Inch Sideboards

The rule for dining room sideboards is they should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For a 90-inch dining table, this 60-inch sideboard fits perfectly. For a 72-inch table, it provides generous proportional presence without overwhelming the space. Standard sideboard height runs 30-36 inches -- this piece at exactly 30 inches (76 cm) height works well for both adults and children to access serving items. The 22-inch (56 cm) depth provides substantial storage capacity while leaving adequate walkway clearance behind dining chairs -- you need minimum 36 inches between the sideboard back and chair backs for comfortable movement during meals. In living rooms, this 60-inch width complements sectional sofas 108 inches or longer, providing visual balance as a media console or bar cabinet.

Design Applications and Styling Options

The Anubis works beautifully against a dining room accent wall, where its matte black finish creates dramatic contrast with lighter wall colors. Place table lamps on either end -- choose lamps 24-28 inches tall to maintain proper scale with the 30-inch cabinet height. The flat top surface accommodates serving trays, decorative bowls, or a long low arrangement of seasonal greenery. Inside, store your good china, serving platters, table runners, and candles for dinner parties. For living room use, the enclosed storage hides gaming consoles, DVD collections, board games, or bar supplies while the top surface displays books, plants, or decorative objects. Consider pairing with a 5x8 foot minimum area rug to properly ground the piece in the space. The geometric door pattern complements both contemporary dining chairs and organic modern accent seating, while the black finish coordinates with metal light fixtures and cabinet hardware throughout your home.

Ideal for homeowners furnishing a formal dining room in a 1,800+ square foot home who need substantial storage that won't compete with statement lighting or artwork. Interior designers specifying contemporary dining rooms will appreciate the solid mahogany construction and LOOMLAN's up to 40% trade discount with no minimum order requirement for project efficiency. Well-suited for boutique hotel dining areas and upscale vacation rental properties seeking furniture that photographs beautifully and withstands commercial use while maintaining residential sophistication.

Common Questions About the NOIR Anubis Sideboard

What's the maximum weight this sideboard can hold on top?

The solid mahogany top can safely support 75-100 pounds of distributed weight, making it suitable for heavy serving pieces, lamps, or even a small television. The 22-inch depth provides excellent stability for larger items.

How does solid mahogany compare to veneer construction at this price point?

At this price point, you get handcrafted solid mahogany construction typically found in pieces costing significantly more from traditional furniture retailers. Most similarly styled sideboards under $4,000 use mahogany veneer over plywood or MDF core, which cannot be refinished and lacks the durability of solid wood construction.

Since this arrives fully assembled, how does delivery work for a 170-pound piece?

LOOMLAN coordinates white glove delivery service for furniture this size and weight. The delivery team brings it into your home and places it in the desired room. You'll receive tracking information and scheduling details once your order ships.

Can I get trade pricing on NOIR furniture?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail on NOIR furniture with no minimum order requirement. Approval takes 1-2 business days, and trade pricing shows automatically after login without coupon codes needed.

What's LOOMLAN's return policy on large furniture pieces like this?

LOOMLAN offers returns within the timeframe specified in their returns policy. Given the size and weight of this piece, contact customer service before initiating a return to arrange proper pickup and handling.

Can this sideboard work as a television console?

The 60-inch width and 30-inch height make it suitable for TVs up to 65 inches, though you'll want to verify your specific TV's base width fits within the 60-inch top surface. The enclosed storage is perfect for cable boxes and gaming systems, though this piece lacks built-in cable management.

How does NOIR compare to Article or CB2 for sideboard quality?

NOIR uses solid mahogany construction and handcrafted finishing techniques, while Article and CB2 typically use engineered wood with veneer surfaces at similar price points. NOIR pieces arrive fully assembled versus flat-pack assembly required from most contemporary retailers, and LOOMLAN offers deeper trade discounts than CB2's 25% program.
