What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low storage cabinet designed for dining rooms, typically featuring doors and drawers for storing dishes, linens, and serving pieces. Also known as a credenza or buffet cabinet, a sideboard serves dual purposes as both storage and serving surface during meals.
What You Get With the Chelsea House Avery Raffia Sideboard
- Hand-Applied Raffia Covering -- Each piece is individually wrapped by artisans, creating subtle texture variations sealed for durability.
- Fully Assembled Delivery -- No tools or setup required, ready to place and use immediately upon arrival.
- Three-Door Configuration -- Hinged doors provide full access to interior storage compartments with more flexibility than double-door designs.
- Tapered Leg Construction -- Solid wood legs elevate the cabinet off the floor, creating visual lightness and easy cleaning access underneath.
- Contemporary Profile -- Streamlined design balances organic texture with modern proportions for formal dining rooms.
Where Does a 70.5-Inch Raffia Sideboard Work Best?
This buffet cabinet anchors dining room furniture arrangements that pair natural materials with refined finishes, and the 70.5-inch width suits rooms with at least 80 inches of wall space. Pair with solid wood hand-carved sideboards or contrast against smoother sideboards and credenzas in adjacent living room furniture zones.
