What Is a Sideboard Buffet?

A sideboard buffet is a low, wide storage cabinet designed for dining rooms to store dishware, linens, serving pieces, and barware while providing a surface for serving food or displaying decor. Unlike a console table which is primarily decorative, a sideboard offers substantial enclosed storage with doors and often drawers, making it ideal for dining rooms that need both hidden storage and an elegant serving surface.

What You Get With the Sarreid Benedict Sideboard Buffet

1. Antiqued Trumeau Mirror Backsplash -- Built-in aged mirror reflects light throughout your dining room while creating the illusion of more space.
2. Laser-Cut Moroccan Door Motifs -- Each of the four doors features precision geometric patterns inspired by traditional Moroccan design, adding visual texture and air circulation.
3. Natural Multi-Tonal Mango Wood Finish -- Finish varies from grey brown to espresso to black walnut tones, creating depth that changes as light hits different angles throughout the day.
4. Adjustable Interior Shelving -- Each door section contains adjustable shelves that accommodate everything from stacked dinner plates to tall serving platters.
5. Substantial 71-Inch Width -- Generous proportions provide storage capacity for full dinnerware sets plus linens while maintaining a 16.5-inch depth that fits most dining room layouts.

How Do You Style a Sideboard in a Dining Room?

Place this buffet cabinet against your longest dining room wall to anchor the space, then layer decorative objects like table lamps, artwork, or seasonal greenery on top while storing everyday dining essentials behind closed doors. Pair with other dining room furniture in complementary wood tones or mix with solid wood hand-carved sideboards for layered texture in open-plan spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard sideboards measure 30-36 inches tall for comfortable serving access while seated; this Sarreid model is 31 inches, ideal for standard dining table heights of 28-30 inches.

What is the difference between a sideboard and a credenza?

Sideboards traditionally have shorter legs and are used in dining rooms, while credenzas sit flush to the floor and are used in offices or living rooms, though the terms are now often interchangeable for similar low storage cabinets.

What do you put in a dining room sideboard?

Store dinnerware sets, table linens, serving platters, flatware, glassware, napkin rings, and wine or bar accessories behind the doors while using the top surface for serving during meals or displaying decorative objects.

How deep is a standard sideboard?

Standard sideboards measure 16-22 inches deep; this model's 16.5-inch depth fits most dining room layouts without blocking walkways while still accommodating standard-size dinner plates.

Does this sideboard ship fully assembled?

Assembly is required and takes approximately 45-60 minutes with two people to attach the mirror backsplash and secure door hardware.

Is the wood finish uniform across the piece?

No, the antiqued multi-tonal mango wood finish intentionally varies from grey brown to espresso to black walnut tones for natural depth and character.
