What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low, long cabinet designed for dining room storage and serving, typically 30-36 inches high and 16-24 inches deep. Unlike a console table, a sideboard provides enclosed storage with doors and shelves for hiding linens, serving pieces, and glassware. Also called a credenza or buffet cabinet, sideboards work in dining rooms, living rooms as media storage, or entryways as household catch-alls.
What You Get With the Moe's Home Henley Sideboard
- Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required, eliminating wobble from poorly tightened hardware.
- Solid Oak and Oak Veneer Construction -- Primary structure uses solid oak, not particleboard, so joints stay tight over decades of use.
- Four Hinged Doors with Enclosed Storage -- Each door opens wide for easy access to dishes, linens, books, or electronics with enough depth for large serving platters.
- Japanese Tansu-Inspired Sled Legs -- Elongated leg design lifts the cabinet off the floor for visual lightness while providing rock-solid support.
- Brown Oak Finish -- Rich wood tone adds warmth without overwhelming modern or traditional interiors.
- Substantial 157-Pound Weight -- Authentic heft signals real furniture, not hollow mass-market alternatives.
Where Does a 74-Inch Sideboard Work Best?
The 74-inch length makes the Henley ideal for dining rooms behind a table or against a long wall where you need serving and storage space. The 17-inch depth fits well in spaces where deeper sideboards and credenzas would protrude too far, and the sled base allows it to float visually in living rooms as media storage.
