What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low, wide storage cabinet typically placed in a dining room or living area to hold dishes, linens, and serving pieces. The terms sideboard, buffet cabinet, and credenza are often used interchangeably, though sideboards traditionally feature a combination of cabinets and open shelves for both concealed and display storage.
What You Get With the Furniture Classics Piper Sideboard
- Oak Construction -- solid wood frame delivers durability and classic warmth in a brown finish.
- Tempered Glass Cabinet Doors -- two separate compartments with transparent doors showcase dinnerware, décor, or collectibles while keeping items dust-free.
- Lower Open Shelf -- additional surface below the cabinets accommodates baskets, books, or serving trays.
- 70-Inch Width -- generous horizontal span fits beneath wall art or mirrors in dining rooms and living areas.
- Fully Assembled Delivery -- the sideboard arrives assembled and ready to place, no construction required.
Where Should You Place a Sideboard Buffet?
Position the Piper behind a dining table as a serving station and display credenza, or use it in a living room for media components and decorative objects. The 15-inch depth and 35-inch height suit narrow entryways or hallways, and the glass doors keep prized pieces visible while the open shelf holds everyday items. Pair with dining room furniture or living room furniture to create cohesive storage zones, and browse solid wood hand-carved sideboards for complementary accent pieces.
