Haru Wooden 5 Center Drawer Sideboard

Dining room sideboards walk the line between practical storage and attractive display -- and most fail to deliver both effectively in one piece. The LH Imports Haru Wooden 5 Center Drawer Sideboard is a 63-inch Contemporary storage cabinet built for dining rooms that need substantial storage with a refined visual presence, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. Crafted from solid acacia wood with acacia veneer and MDF construction, this piece offers the durability and natural beauty that homeowners seek without the bulk that dominates smaller dining spaces. At 31.5 inches high and 17.7 inches deep, the Haru sideboard provides maximum storage capacity while maintaining a streamlined profile that won't overwhelm your room. The light tan finish showcases acacia's natural grain patterns, while rounded edges soften the rectangular silhouette for versatility in both modern and transitional interiors.

What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low, wide storage cabinet designed for dining rooms, typically featuring doors, drawers, and shelves for organizing dinnerware, linens, and serving pieces. Unlike a console table which offers surface space but limited storage, a sideboard provides substantial enclosed storage while maintaining a serving surface for meals and entertaining. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, sideboards are best for dining rooms that need both storage and a surface for serving food or displaying decorative items.

What You Get With the LH Imports Haru Wooden 5 Center Drawer Sideboard

1. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required. Ready to place and use immediately, eliminating the frustration and time commitment of flat-pack furniture assembly. Simply unpack and position in your dining room.
2. Solid Acacia Wood Construction with Veneer Accents -- Primary frame built from solid acacia wood provides structural integrity and longevity, while acacia veneer on MDF panels maintains the wood grain aesthetic at accessible pricing. Acacia naturally resists warping and offers excellent durability for daily use.
3. Three Center Drawers with Standard Runners -- Each drawer measures 18.5 x 12.75 x 4.75 inches inside, perfect for storing flatware, napkins, and small serving pieces. Standard runners provide smooth operation and reliable performance for years of regular use.
4. Dual Cabinet Storage with Four Shelves -- Two door cabinets feature both top shelves (20 x 14 x 10.25 inches each) and bottom shelves (20 x 15 x 11 inches each) for organizing dishes, linens, and larger serving pieces. Interior space accommodates dinner plates, serving bowls, and wine storage.
5. Soft-Close Door Hinges -- Premium soft-close hinges prevent slamming and reduce wear on both doors and cabinet frame. Doors close gently and quietly, essential for open floor plans where kitchen and dining areas connect.
6. Integrated Catch Door Handles -- Recessed catch handles maintain the sideboard's clean lines without protruding hardware that can catch clothing or bump into dining chairs. The integrated design contributes to the Contemporary aesthetic while providing secure door operation.
7. Sled Base Design -- Solid wood sled legs provide stability while creating visual lightness beneath the cabinet. The sled base allows easy floor cleaning underneath and prevents dust accumulation common with solid-to-floor designs.
8. 279-Pound Weight Capacity -- Engineered to support substantial weight across the 63-inch top surface, suitable for large serving pieces, electronics, or decorative displays during entertaining. The robust construction handles real-world use in active dining spaces.

What Size Sideboard Do I Need for My Dining Room?

The rule is your sideboard should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For a 72-inch table, that means a sideboard up to 48 inches wide -- but the Haru at 63 inches works perfectly with dining tables 84 inches and longer, which typically seat 8-10 people comfortably. At 31.5 inches high (80 cm), this sideboard provides the standard serving height that aligns with most dining chair seat heights of 18-19 inches. The 17.7-inch depth (45 cm) offers substantial storage without extending too far into your room's traffic patterns. Plan for at least 36 inches of clearance between your dining table and the sideboard for comfortable movement during meals. In terms of room scale, this 63-inch sideboard works best in dining rooms at least 12 feet long to maintain proper proportion with your overall space.

How to Style the Haru Sideboard in Your Dining Room

Position the Haru sideboard against your dining room's longest wall, centered behind or adjacent to your dining table for optimal serving access. The top surface accommodates table lamps up to 28 inches tall (keeping total height under 60 inches), artwork up to 40 inches wide, or a combination of serving pieces and decorative objects. Inside the cabinets, organize dishes by frequency of use -- everyday dinnerware on lower shelves, special occasion pieces and serving platters on upper shelves. The center drawers work perfectly for flatware organizers, cloth napkins, placemats, and small serving utensils. For rug pairing, choose a dining rug at least 8x10 feet to anchor both table and sideboard in the same visual zone. The Haru's versatility extends beyond dining rooms -- it works equally well as an entryway console for larger homes, bedroom storage for linens and clothing, or living room media storage for electronics and games. Pair with upholstered dining chairs in rich fabrics, ceramic table lamps for ambient lighting, and large-scale wall art to complete your dining room design.

Ideal for growing families furnishing a 1,200-1,800 sq ft home who need substantial dining storage that doesn't overwhelm smaller open floor plans. Interior designers specifying Contemporary and Transitional dining rooms will appreciate the solid acacia construction and LOOMLAN's 40% trade discount with no minimum order for client projects. Well-suited for vacation rental properties and boutique hotel dining areas seeking furniture that ships fully assembled and handles frequent guest use while maintaining residential appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dining table length works best with this 63-inch sideboard?

The Haru sideboard pairs perfectly with dining tables 84-96 inches long, which seat 8-10 people. Following the design rule that sideboards should be no more than 2/3 the length of your table, this 63-inch piece requires a table at least 95 inches for proper proportion, though it works well with slightly shorter tables 84+ inches in contemporary settings where the sideboard serves as a substantial statement piece.

How does the acacia wood construction compare to other materials at this price point?

At this price point, you get solid acacia wood primary construction typically found in pieces costing significantly more from retailers like Crate & Barrel or West Elm, where similar-sized pieces often feature veneer-over-particleboard construction. Acacia offers superior durability to pine or MDF-only construction, with natural resistance to warping and the ability to handle daily use in active dining rooms.

Does this sideboard require any assembly?

No assembly required. The Haru sideboard ships fully assembled and ready to use immediately upon delivery. Simply unpack and position in your room -- no tools, hardware, or setup time needed. This contrasts with flat-pack furniture from IKEA or Wayfair that typically requires 2-4 hours of assembly.

Can I get trade pricing if I'm an interior designer?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail pricing with no minimum order requirement. Apply free online with approval typically within 1-2 business days. This exceeds most competitor programs -- Crate & Barrel Trade offers 25% with a $1,000 minimum order, while Arhaus requires 30% with $2,500 minimum orders.

What's your return policy if this doesn't fit my space?

LOOMLAN offers comprehensive returns on furniture with detailed policy information available on their returns page. Given the fully assembled delivery, it's recommended to measure your space carefully and review the 63 x 17.7 x 31.5-inch dimensions before ordering.

Can this sideboard be used as a TV stand?

While structurally capable of supporting a TV up to the 279-pound weight limit, the 31.5-inch height may position the screen too low for comfortable viewing from standard dining chairs or sofas. The width accommodates TVs up to about 55-60 inches, but consider a dedicated media console designed specifically for optimal TV viewing height.

How does this compare to similar sideboards from Article or CB2?

The Haru offers solid wood primary construction versus the veneer-over-engineered-wood typical of Article and CB2 pieces in this price range. Additionally, it ships fully assembled versus the flat-pack assembly required by most competitors. LOOMLAN's trade program also offers up to 40% off versus CB2's 25% trade discount, with no minimum order requirement.
