What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low, wide storage cabinet designed specifically for dining rooms, featuring doors, drawers, or both to store dishes, linens, serving pieces, and dining essentials. Unlike a console table which is primarily decorative, a sideboard provides substantial enclosed storage while serving as a surface for serving food or displaying decor. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, sideboards typically measure 30-36 inches in height and 48-84 inches in width.
What You Get With the Sarreid Desmond Sideboard?
- Shagreen Leather Wrapping -- This exotic textural finish mimics traditional stingray skin, creating a sophisticated surface that resists stains and everyday wear better than smooth leather finishes.
- Four Framed Glass Doors -- Glass panels let you display curated dishware or decor while keeping items dust-free and protected.
- Three Center Drawers -- Concealed drawer storage organizes linens, flatware, or personal items without visual clutter.
- Aged Brass Accents -- Hardware pulls and tapered leg caps add warmth and contrast against the cool grey shagreen.
- Mixed Storage Design -- Combination of open-view glass compartments and hidden drawers adapts to both display and utility needs.
Where Does a 66-Inch Buffet Cabinet Work Best?
This sideboard anchors formal dining rooms as a serving station and storage hub, but the Transitional styling adapts equally well to living rooms for media consoles or bar setups. Pair with other sideboards and credenzas for inspiration, or explore solid wood hand-carved sideboards for complementary pieces.
