What is a sideboard?
A sideboard is a low, long storage cabinet typically placed in a dining room or living room, designed to hold dinnerware, linens, serving pieces, or display items. Also called a buffet cabinet or credenza, it usually stands 30-36 inches tall and features a combination of drawers, cabinets, and sometimes open shelving.
What You Get With the SUNPAN Markwood Sideboard
- Solid Mango Wood Construction -- authentic hardwood with natural grain variation, visible knots, and organic texture that adds character to each piece.
- Brass Inlay Detailing -- antique brass accents against dark brown wood create modern global-traveler aesthetic with tapered legs and steel base.
- Versatile Storage Configuration -- two cabinets, one drawer, and interior shelving provide organized space for dinnerware, linens, or media components.
- Handcrafted Artisan Quality -- skilled Indian craftsmen use intricate woodworking techniques, resulting in unique imperfections that make each sideboard one-of-a-kind.
- Safety and Stability Features -- anti-tipping kit included for secure installation, especially important for homes with children or high-traffic areas.
Where Does a 55-Inch Sideboard Work Best?
The Markwood's 55-inch width and 17.75-inch depth suit dining room furniture arrangements behind a table or along a wall, while the modern brass accents and tapered legs complement living room furniture as a media console or bar cabinet. Pair with other solid wood hand-carved sideboards for layered storage in open-concept spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How tall should a sideboard be
- Standard sideboard height ranges from 30 to 36 inches; the Markwood measures 32.25 inches, placing it at ideal serving height for dining use.
- What is the difference between a sideboard and a credenza
- The terms are often used interchangeably, though credenzas traditionally have shorter legs and a lower profile, while sideboards may have taller legs and drawers; the Markwood functions as both.
- What do you put in a dining room sideboard
- Dining room sideboards typically store table linens, serving platters, dinnerware, glassware, flatware, and occasionally wine or bar accessories in the cabinets and drawers.
- How deep is a standard sideboard
- Most sideboards measure 16 to 20 inches deep; the Markwood's 17.75-inch depth provides storage capacity without protruding far into the room.
- Does the Markwood Sideboard ship for free?
- Yes, LOOMLAN provides free shipping on all orders to the continental USA with no minimum purchase required.
- What kind of care does solid mango wood require?
- Wipe mango wood with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals; the porous nature of the wood means it will naturally display color variation and may develop fine indentations over time.
