At 187 pounds fully assembled, this credenza handles real-world dining room storage demands for tables that seat 8-10 people.

What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a horizontal storage cabinet designed for dining rooms, typically featuring doors and drawers for storing dishes, linens, and serving pieces. Unlike a console table which is primarily decorative, a sideboard provides substantial enclosed storage with adjustable shelves and serves as both functional storage and a serving surface during meals.
What You Get With the Urbia Holly Engineered Wooden Sideboard
- Fully Assembled Delivery -- Arrives ready to place and use immediately with no tools or setup required, unusual for a 71-inch piece weighing 187 pounds.
- Pull-Tab Hardware System -- Integrated pull tabs machined directly into the wood veneer eliminate protruding handles that catch clothing or loosen over time.
- Soft-Close Door Mechanism -- Engages in the final 2 inches of closing to prevent slamming and protect dishes from vibration.
- Three-Position Adjustable Shelving -- Interior shelves adjust to 12.5", 11.5", and 10.5" heights to accommodate different dish and glassware sizes.
- Stainless Steel Hairpin Legs -- Provide stability and support for the 187-pound cabinet while maintaining a light visual profile.
Where Does a 71-Inch Sideboard Work Best?
This buffet cabinet fits dining rooms with tables that seat 8-10 people, providing storage for full place settings, serving platters, and linens. The 31.5-inch height works as a serving surface without blocking sightlines across the room. Pair it with pieces from our dining room furniture or sideboards and credenzas collections. The white oak veneer coordinates with both modern and transitional solid wood sideboards in open-plan spaces.
