Leather-wrapped handles that actually feel substantial in your hand aren't as common as you'd think -- most furniture makers skip this expensive detail for cost savings. The Urbia Cody Two Doors Wooden Sideboard is a 63-inch Contemporary mindi wood sideboard built for dining rooms that need substantial storage and dual-function capability as a media console, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. At 170 pounds, this solid wood piece arrives fully assembled and features four hinged doors that open to reveal generous interior shelving for everything from dinnerware and linens to gaming consoles and AV equipment. The elongated leather-wrapped handles in rich brown complement the warm walnut brown mindi wood finish, creating a sophisticated storage solution that works equally well in dining rooms, living spaces, or entryways. Built-in cord management functionality means you can easily convert this dining sideboard into a media console when room layouts change.
What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet designed primarily for dining rooms to store dishes, linens, and serving pieces while providing a surface for food presentation during meals. Unlike a console table, a sideboard features enclosed storage with doors or drawers rather than open shelving. Also known as a credenza, buffet, or server, modern sideboards often include features like cord management that allow them to function as media consoles in living rooms. Best for dining rooms that need both storage and serving surface, or living rooms seeking substantial enclosed storage that can double as TV stand functionality.
Key Features of the Urbia Cody Wooden Sideboard
- Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required at 170 pounds. This solid mindi wood sideboard ships ready to place and use immediately, eliminating the frustration of assembling heavy furniture with multiple doors and interior components.
- Four Hinged Doors with Generous Interior Storage -- Each door opens to reveal ample shelving space perfect for dinnerware sets, table linens, or media equipment. The interior dimensions accommodate full dinner sets for 8-12 people or multiple gaming consoles and cable boxes when used as a media console.
- Elongated Leather-Wrapped Handles -- These oversized handles aren't just decorative -- the leather wrapping provides a comfortable grip and sophisticated texture that elevates the entire piece. The brown leather coordinates with the walnut finish while adding tactile luxury typically found in high-end custom furniture.
- Built-in Cord Management System -- Integrated cord functionality allows this sideboard to seamlessly transition from dining storage to media console. Cable management keeps power cords and HDMI cables organized and hidden, maintaining clean sight lines whether storing dishes or electronics.
- Solid Mindi Wood Construction -- Mindi wood offers the rich grain pattern and durability of premium hardwood at a more accessible price point than teak or walnut. The natural wood construction means this piece will develop character over time and can be refinished if needed decades from now.
- Contemporary Sled Base Design -- The sleek sled legs create visual lightness despite the substantial 63-inch length. This base style allows for easy cleaning underneath and makes the piece appear to float above the floor, preventing it from overwhelming smaller dining rooms.
- Multi-Room Versatility -- The 32.25-inch height and cord management make this equally suitable as a dining sideboard, living room media console, or entryway storage. The neutral brown finish and clean lines complement both mid-century modern and contemporary interiors without competing with existing furniture.
- Professional Weight and Stability -- At 170 pounds, this sideboard provides the substantial feel and stability that distinguishes quality furniture from lightweight alternatives. The weight indicates solid wood construction throughout, not veneer over particleboard.
Sizing Guide for Your 63-Inch Sideboard
The rule for dining room sideboards is they should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For a 96-inch table that seats 8-10 people, this 63-inch sideboard provides ideal proportions. Standard sideboard height runs 30-36 inches -- this piece at 32.25 inches offers comfortable serving height for most adults. The 18.5-inch depth (47 cm) provides substantial storage without protruding too far into walkways. In dining rooms, allow at least 36 inches of clearance behind dining chairs when they're pulled out for seating. For living rooms, this 63-inch width works well with sectional sofas 84 inches or longer, providing visual balance without overwhelming the seating area. The 32.25-inch height places TV screens at optimal viewing height when used as a media console -- center your TV screen 42-48 inches from floor for comfortable sofa viewing.
Styling Your Cody Sideboard Across Multiple Rooms
In dining rooms, center this sideboard on the wall opposite your dining table, leaving 18-24 inches of wall space on each side for visual breathing room. The top surface accommodates table lamps for ambient lighting, decorative bowls, or artwork leaning against the wall -- keep items under 24 inches tall to maintain proportions. Store everyday dishes and glassware in the left doors, special occasion pieces on the right, with table linens and serving pieces distributed throughout the interior shelving. For living rooms, position against the wall where your TV will mount above or sit on top, using the interior storage for gaming consoles, streaming devices, and cable management. The cord functionality handles multiple device connections while keeping cables invisible.
Layer a 8x10 foot area rug underneath when using in dining rooms, or a 9x12 foot rug in larger living spaces to anchor the piece visually. Pair with dining chairs in complementary warm woods or accent chairs that echo the brown leather handle detail. Table lamps with ceramic or brass bases complement the organic material mix, while wall art in earth tones or botanical prints enhance the natural wood aesthetic.
Ideal for homeowners furnishing a 1,200-1,800 sq ft home who need substantial dining storage that can adapt to changing room functions over time. Interior designers specifying contemporary dining rooms will appreciate the solid mindi wood construction and LOOMLAN's 40% trade discount with no minimum order for budget flexibility. Well-suited for boutique hotels and vacation rental properties seeking furniture that ships fully assembled and handles both residential charm and commercial durability requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the exact interior dimensions for storage planning?
- While Urbia doesn't publish interior shelf dimensions in their specifications, the four-door design with generous shelving accommodates full dinner sets for 8-12 people or multiple large gaming consoles. For specific interior measurements needed for custom storage planning, contact LOOMLAN at 833-566-6526 for detailed dimensions.
- Is mindi wood durable enough for daily use, and how does it compare to other hardwoods at this price point?
- Mindi wood offers excellent durability with rich grain patterns similar to teak but at a more accessible price point. At $1,799, you get solid hardwood construction typically found in pieces costing significantly more from mainstream retailers. The 170-pound weight confirms solid wood throughout rather than veneer over particleboard construction common in mass-market furniture.
- Can this sideboard support a 75-inch TV as a media console?
- Yes, the 63-inch width and substantial 170-pound construction can support large TVs. A 75-inch TV measures approximately 65 inches wide, so it will overhang slightly but remain stable. The 32.25-inch height provides ideal viewing angles for most seating arrangements. The built-in cord management handles multiple device connections cleanly.
- How do I access trade pricing for interior design projects?
- LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail with no minimum order requirement. Application approval takes 1-2 business days, and trade pricing appears automatically after login. This compares to 25% off at Crate & Barrel with $1,000 minimum orders, or 30% at other retailers with higher minimums.
- What is LOOMLAN's return policy for large furniture pieces like this?
- View complete return terms at LOOMLAN's returns page. Given the fully assembled delivery and substantial weight, returns require coordination with freight carriers, but LOOMLAN works with customers to resolve any issues with damaged or defective pieces.
- How does this compare to similar sideboards from West Elm or Article in terms of construction?
- This Urbia sideboard offers solid mindi wood construction and full assembly, while many West Elm and Article pieces use veneer over engineered wood and require customer assembly. The leather-wrapped handles and cord management represent premium details often missing from mass retailers. LOOMLAN's curation focuses on brands unavailable through mainstream channels.
- Can the leather handles be repaired or replaced if damaged over time?
- Leather handle repairs depend on the specific damage type. For maintenance questions or replacement part availability, contact Urbia through LOOMLAN at trade@loomlan.com. The quality leather wrapping is designed for years of daily use, but like any natural material, it will develop patina over time.
