When your dining room needs serious storage but you want something that feels collected over time rather than bought from a catalog, standard sideboards often lack the character of vintage finds. The Sarreid Covent Gardens Old Stain Wood Sideboard is a 96-inch rustic buffet cabinet with six hinged doors and five drawers, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping. This handcrafted solid wood sideboard features old stain finish and iron hardware that give it the authentic look of a European countryside antique, providing restaurant-level storage capacity for large dining rooms that seat 10-12 people.

What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet originally designed for dining rooms to hold serving dishes, linens, and dinnerware during formal meals. Unlike a console table which is primarily decorative, a sideboard provides substantial enclosed storage with doors and drawers. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, sideboards typically measure 30-36 inches in height and range from 48-120 inches in width.
What You Get With the Sarreid Covent Gardens Sideboard
- Ships Fully Assembled -- This 96-inch piece arrives complete and ready to place, saving you hours of assembly time and ensuring all joints and hardware are professionally installed.
- Six Hinged Doors with Faux Keyhole Escutcheons -- Traditional swing-open doors provide wide access to interior storage compartments with decorative keyhole hardware that adds authentic period detail.
- Five Integrated Drawers -- Mixed storage design combines door compartments with drawer storage for organizing linens, silverware, and smaller serving pieces.
- Solid Wood Construction with Old Stain Finish -- Built from genuine wood with a hand-applied stain that creates depth and natural color variation mimicking aged wood patina.
- Iron Hardware Accents Throughout -- All hinges, pulls, and decorative elements use iron that creates authentic weight and develops natural patina over time.
Where Should You Place a 96-Inch Sideboard?
This sideboard works best in large dining rooms behind an 8-10 seat table, providing serving surface and storage for linens and dinnerware. The 12-inch depth also makes it ideal for wide hallways or as a living room media console. Pair with other solid wood sideboards for a collected look in open-plan spaces.
