Arithmetic Three Drawers Wood Sideboard

Three drawers paired with two cabinet doors might seem like standard furniture math, but the proportions make all the difference in how a sideboard actually functions in your dining room. The LH Imports Arithmetic Three Drawers Wood Sideboard is a 60-inch mid-century modern credenza built for dining rooms that need both display space and concealed storage, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. This piece balances the accessibility of drawer storage for smaller items with the enclosed cabinet space needed for serving pieces, stemware, and larger dinnerware collections. Unlike sideboards that favor all doors or all drawers, the Arithmetic's mixed configuration lets you organize by access frequency -- everyday items in the three drawers, special occasion pieces behind the two hinged doors.

The natural wood finish showcases the grain patterns that make each LH Imports piece unique, while the hairpin legs keep the visual weight manageable in smaller dining spaces. This sideboard ships fully assembled, ready to place against your dining room wall and load with everything from cloth napkins to wine glasses to that collection of serving platters you only use when hosting.

What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low, wide storage cabinet designed for dining rooms, typically measuring 30-36 inches in height and ranging from 48-80 inches in width. Unlike a console table, a sideboard features enclosed storage through doors and drawers, making it ideal for hiding dinnerware, linens, and serving accessories. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, sideboards provide both storage and serving surface for entertaining. Best for dining rooms that need substantial storage without the height and formality of a china cabinet or hutch.

Dining Room Sizing Guidelines for Sideboards

The rule for sideboard placement is that your sideboard should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For a 90-inch table, that means a sideboard up to 60 inches wide works perfectly -- making the Arithmetic an ideal match for tables that seat 8-10 people. Standard sideboard height ranges from 30-36 inches, allowing comfortable serving access while maintaining sight lines across the room. Standard depth typically measures 16-18 inches, providing storage capacity without extending too far into the room's walking space.

The Arithmetic's 60-inch width (152 cm) works well in dining rooms measuring at least 12x12 feet, where it won't overwhelm the space proportionally. Plan for 18-24 inches of clearance on either side for proper visual balance, meaning your dining room wall should measure at least 108 inches wide for optimal placement. The hairpin legs create 6 inches of floor clearance, making the piece appear lighter than solid-base alternatives.

Placement and Organization Ideas

Position the Arithmetic sideboard against your dining room's longest wall, typically opposite windows to balance natural light distribution. The top surface accommodates table lamps (24-26 inches tall work best), a large mirror or artwork (36-48 inches wide), and decorative objects like ceramic bowls or small plants. Leave 6-8 inches between any wall-mounted art and the sideboard surface for proper visual breathing room.

Inside the three drawers, organize by frequency of use: everyday items like cloth napkins and serving spoons in the top drawer, seasonal items like holiday linens in lower drawers. The cabinet space behind the hinged doors handles larger items -- stacks of dinner plates, serving platters, pitchers, and glassware collections. Consider adding shelf liner to protect the interior and prevent items from sliding.

Beyond the dining room, this sideboard functions effectively as an entryway console in larger foyers, a media cabinet for smaller TVs in bedrooms or guest rooms, or bar storage in family rooms. The natural wood finish coordinates with leather furniture, jute rugs, and brass or black metal light fixtures. Pair with dining chairs in warm wood tones and consider adding a large area rug that extends at least 18 inches beyond the sideboard on each side.

This piece appeals to homeowners furnishing 1,200-2,000 square foot homes who appreciate mid-century modern aesthetics and need substantial dining storage without formal hutch styling. Interior designers specifying organic modern or transitional dining rooms will value the solid wood construction and LOOMLAN's trade pricing with no minimum order requirement. The sideboard also works well for vacation rental properties and boutique hotel dining areas seeking residential-scale furniture that ships fully assembled and handles regular use.

Common Questions About This Sideboard

What are the exact dimensions of this sideboard?

While specific measurements aren't provided in the product data, this is described as a 60-inch wide sideboard. For exact height, depth, and interior storage dimensions, contact LOOMLAN at 833-566-6526 or email info@loomlan.com with SKU ARI003B.

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

At $2,998, you get solid wood construction typically found in pieces costing significantly more from mainstream furniture retailers. Solid wood develops character over time, can be refinished if needed, and provides structural integrity that veneer-over-particleboard cannot match for long-term durability.

Is assembly required or does this ship ready to use?

The Arithmetic sideboard arrives fully assembled -- no tools, hardware, or setup time required. Simply unpack and place in your dining room, a significant advantage over flat-pack furniture that can require 2-4 hours of assembly.

Can I 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. This compares favorably to other retailers' trade programs that require higher minimums or lower discounts.

What if this sideboard doesn't work in my space?

LOOMLAN offers a comprehensive return policy for items that don't meet expectations. Contact customer service within the return window to discuss options if the piece doesn't work in your dining room.

Could this sideboard work as a TV stand?

While primarily designed for dining storage, the 60-inch width could accommodate TVs up to 55-60 inches. However, verify that the height provides comfortable viewing from your seating arrangement, and ensure adequate ventilation if storing electronic components inside.

How does LOOMLAN compare to other online furniture retailers?

Unlike mass market retailers that primarily sell flat-pack veneer furniture, LOOMLAN curates solid wood pieces that ship fully assembled. The trade program offers better discounts than CB2 (25%) or Crate & Barrel with no minimum order, plus BBB accreditation and 2,182+ verified customer reviews provide additional purchasing confidence.
