What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low storage cabinet designed for dining rooms, typically featuring doors and drawers to hold dinnerware, linens, and serving pieces. Unlike a console table, a sideboard offers enclosed storage to hide clutter while providing a surface for serving food or displaying decor. Also known as a credenza or buffet, a sideboard works best in dining rooms where you need both storage and a serving station during meals.

What You Get With the Currey & Company Kallista Taupe Cabinet

1. Figured Sycamore Veneer Doors -- Real wood veneer with natural grain patterns creates visual texture and depth, with unique character marks that catch light differently throughout the day.
2. Soft-Close Door Mechanism -- Premium hinges prevent doors from slamming shut, protecting both the cabinet and extending the life of the piece by reducing wear on hinges and door frames.
3. Polished Brass Hardware -- Substantial brass pulls provide durability and luxury appeal, designed to develop a natural patina over time while adding visual weight to each door front.
4. Cord Management Openings -- Built-in openings allow you to use this cabinet for media storage or as an office credenza without visible cable clutter.
5. Three-Door Configuration -- Multiple compartments let you organize different types of items in separate sections for dinnerware, linens, and serving pieces.
6. Fully Assembled Delivery -- The cabinet arrives ready to use with no assembly required, saving you time and ensuring factory-quality construction.

Where Does a Taupe Sideboard Work Best?

This 54-inch buffet cabinet fits in formal dining rooms where you need enclosed storage for dinnerware and table linens. The neutral taupe finish and brass hardware also work in living rooms as a media console or in home offices as a credenza. Pair it with other sideboards and credenzas to create a cohesive storage wall in larger spaces.
