Natural texture that reads upscale in formal dining spaces is surprisingly scarce -- most woven pieces skew too casual for refined entertaining. The Currey & Co Deanna Wood and Raffia Ivory Credenza, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping, is a 72-inch Hollywood Regency sideboard buffet that combines hand-woven raffia panels with ebony-stained Okoume wood and brushed brass hardware for sophisticated dining room storage.

What Is a Credenza?
A credenza is a long, low cabinet traditionally used in dining rooms for storing dishes, linens, and serving pieces while providing a flat surface for food presentation. Unlike a console table which is open underneath, a credenza features enclosed storage with doors and sometimes drawers, typically measuring 30-37 inches high and 16-20 inches deep.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Deanna Credenza
- Woven Raffia Panels -- Hand-woven natural raffia on door fronts, sides, and top adds organic texture while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic for formal entertaining spaces.
- Protective Glass Top -- Inset tempered glass protects the raffia from moisture and wear while providing a practical serving surface that sits flush with the wood frame.
- Four-Door Storage -- Hinged doors provide spacious interior compartments for concealing dining essentials, barware, or media components across the 72-inch width.
- Okoume Wood Frame -- Black-finished hardwood strips outline each raffia panel and form the structural frame with bold geometric contrast.
- Brushed Brass Hardware -- Linear door handles and the plinth base feature soft brass that adds Hollywood glamour without overwhelming the natural textures.
- Sled Base Design -- Continuous metal base creates a floating appearance that lightens the visual weight and simplifies floor cleaning.
How Do I Style a Raffia Credenza in a Formal Dining Room?
Position the Deanna credenza on the longest wall in your dining room to anchor the space, pairing it with upholstered dining chairs and a crystal chandelier overhead. Layer art or a mirror above the credenza and flank it with solid wood sideboards or accent tables if you have a large space. In open-plan homes, this buffet cabinet also works as a media console behind a sofa, especially when you need concealed storage that maintains formal elegance.
