87 Inch Sideboard Brown Modern

Most dining rooms can't handle an 87-inch sideboard -- it either overwhelms the space or gets squeezed against too many walls, making it feel cramped and disconnected. The Moe's Home Collection 87 Inch Sideboard Brown Modern is an extra-wide contemporary storage piece built for large dining rooms with tables that seat 10-12 people, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. This isn't furniture for average-sized spaces -- it's designed for open floor plans where you need serious storage presence without looking undersized. You're looking at four sliding doors that reveal generous interior shelving, all wrapped in dark stained walnut veneer with distinctive black corduroy wood detailing. The sleek hairpin metal legs keep the visual weight from becoming too heavy, essential when you're working with furniture this substantial. This is the sideboard for homeowners who've outgrown standard dining room storage and need something that matches the scale of their entertaining style.

What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low, wide cabinet typically placed against a dining room wall to store dishes, linens, and serving pieces while providing a surface for food presentation during meals. Unlike a buffet cabinet which often includes a hutch or upper section, a sideboard maintains clean horizontal lines that work well in modern interiors. Also known as a credenza when used in living rooms or offices, sideboards are best for dining rooms that need both enclosed storage and serving surface without the visual bulk of tall furniture.

What You Get With the Moe's Home Collection 87 Inch Sideboard Brown Modern

1. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required. Ready to place and use immediately. At 205 pounds and 87 inches wide, this eliminates the stress of trying to assemble something this substantial in your dining room.
2. Four Sliding Doors with Smooth Operation -- Each door slides effortlessly on quality hardware, no handles to catch on chairs or clothing. The sliding mechanism means you don't need clearance space in front of the sideboard for swinging doors, crucial in tight dining room layouts.
3. Four Large Interior Shelves -- Each shelf is removable and repositionable, letting you customize storage height for everything from tall wine bottles to stacked dinner plates. The enclosed storage keeps your dining essentials dust-free and organized.
4. Dark Stained Walnut Veneer Construction -- Quality veneer over MDF core provides the rich look of solid walnut without the weight, movement, and cost. Veneer won't split or warp like solid wood, making this a more stable choice for large-scale furniture.
5. Black Corduroy Wood Detailing -- The textured wood accent adds visual interest and breaks up the expanse of smooth veneer. This detail keeps the 87-inch length from looking monotonous while adding contemporary sophistication.
6. Hairpin Metal Legs in Black Finish -- The slender metal legs create visual lightness despite the sideboard's size, preventing it from looking too blocky. The open space underneath makes cleaning easier and helps the room feel less cramped.
7. Extra-Wide 87-Inch Length -- Designed specifically for large dining rooms and open concept spaces. This width provides substantial storage capacity while maintaining proper proportional relationship to extended dining tables.
8. 20-Inch Depth for Ample Storage -- Deep enough for large serving platters, small appliances, and bulk storage, but not so deep that items get lost in the back. The 33-inch height puts the top surface at perfect serving level for most people.

What Size Sideboard Do I Need for My Dining Room?

The rule is your sideboard should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For a 10-foot (120-inch) table, that means a sideboard up to 80 inches wide. This 87-inch Moe's Home Collection sideboard works perfectly with dining tables 10-12 feet long, making it ideal for formal dining rooms or great rooms with substantial furniture. The 20-inch depth provides generous storage without protruding too far into walkways -- you'll need at least 36 inches of clearance behind dining chairs when they're pulled out for seating. At 33 inches high, the top surface sits at ideal serving height for buffet-style meals or displaying decorative pieces. For room proportions, this sideboard works best in dining rooms at least 14 feet long and 12 feet wide. In smaller spaces, the 87-inch length can overwhelm the room and make traffic flow difficult.

How to Style the Moe's Home Collection Sideboard in Your Dining Room

Position this sideboard along your longest wall, typically opposite the dining table, where its 87-inch length can balance the visual weight of an extended table. The dark walnut finish anchors beautifully with warm metallics -- try brass or bronze table lamps at either end, leaving the center open for serving during dinner parties. Inside the four compartments, dedicate space to seasonal dinnerware, table linens, small serving appliances, and wine storage. The removable shelves let you create custom heights for everything from tall vases to stacked charger plates.

For rug pairing, choose a dining room rug at least 9x12 feet to accommodate both the table chairs and the sideboard without looking cramped. The walnut and black color combination works with rich jewel tones, warm grays, and cream palettes. Consider adding large mirrors above the sideboard to reflect light and make the space feel larger, or create a gallery wall with multiple pieces to fill the wall space proportionally. Complement with modern dining chairs that echo the clean lines, and add pendant lighting above the dining table to complete the contemporary aesthetic.

Ideal for homeowners furnishing large dining rooms or open concept spaces who need substantial storage that won't be dwarfed by extended dining tables. Interior designers specifying contemporary dining rooms for luxury residential projects will appreciate the walnut veneer quality and LOOMLAN's up to 40% trade discount with no minimum order. Well-suited for boutique hotels and vacation rental properties seeking dining room storage that looks residential but ships fully assembled and handles commercial use.

This sideboard needs a dining room at least 14 feet long and 12 feet wide to look proportional. You'll need 87 inches of uninterrupted wall space plus at least 36 inches of clearance behind dining chairs. Measure your doorways too -- at 87 inches wide, this may require professional delivery through patio doors or large openings.

How does the walnut veneer compare to solid wood at this price point?

At this price point, you get high-quality walnut veneer over MDF that delivers the rich look of solid walnut without the weight, movement, and cost. Veneer won't split, warp, or develop gaps like solid wood, making it actually more stable for large-scale furniture. You're getting furniture-grade construction typically found in pieces costing significantly more.

Does this arrive assembled or do I need to put it together?

This sideboard arrives fully assembled -- no tools or setup required. At 205 pounds and 87 inches wide, professional assembly eliminates the complexity and risk of trying to build something this substantial. Just unpack and position in your dining room.

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

LOOMLAN offers detailed return policies with clear guidelines. Given the size and weight of this piece, we strongly recommend double-checking measurements and considering professional space planning before ordering.

Can this work as a TV stand for a large television?

While structurally capable, this sideboard is 33 inches high, which puts most large TVs too high for comfortable viewing when seated. The ideal TV viewing height is 24-30 inches to the center of the screen. Consider this for dining room storage and look at our dedicated TV stands for media storage.

This Moe's Home Collection sideboard arrives fully assembled compared to West Elm's flat-pack furniture, and offers higher-quality walnut veneer construction than Article's typical offerings. The four sliding doors provide better access than hinged doors in tight spaces, and LOOMLAN's trade program offers deeper discounts than mass retailers.
