What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet designed primarily for dining rooms, providing both enclosed storage and serving surface. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, a sideboard typically measures 30-36 inches high and 60-90 inches wide. Unlike a console table, a sideboard features substantial storage through doors and drawers rather than just open shelving.

Where Should You Place a Long Sideboard Cabinet?

An 81.5-inch sideboard anchors formal dining rooms behind or perpendicular to the table, providing immediate access to serving pieces during meals. The Braxton's farmhouse aesthetic also suits open-concept spaces where living room furniture blends with dining areas. Position it opposite windows to balance natural light, or use it to define zones in large multi-purpose rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a sideboard and a credenza

The terms are now used interchangeably, though historically credenzas had shorter legs and were used in offices, while sideboards stood on taller legs and were dining-specific.

What do you put in a dining room sideboard
