What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low, wide storage cabinet traditionally used in dining rooms to hold dishes, linens, and serving pieces. Also known as a credenza or buffet, a sideboard typically measures 30-40 inches in height and provides both enclosed storage and surface space for display or serving. Unlike a console table, which is primarily decorative, a sideboard offers substantial hidden storage behind doors or drawers. Modern sideboards work well beyond the dining room -- they're equally useful as TV stands, entryway storage, or bedroom dressers. Best for homeowners who need stylish storage that doesn't overwhelm smaller rooms, the sideboard's horizontal profile makes spaces feel larger while providing practical organization.

What You Get With the Artesia Olivia 2 Door Sideboard Natural

1. Handmade Construction -- Each cabinet is individually crafted, not mass-produced, which means subtle variations in wood grain and wicker weave that make your piece unique. This level of craftsmanship typically costs significantly more at boutique furniture stores.
2. Wood and Wicker Combination -- The natural wood frame provides structural durability while the woven wicker door panels add texture and visual interest. Wicker also allows for slight air circulation, making this ideal for storing linens or items that benefit from breathability.
3. Three Interior Shelves -- Multiple shelving levels let you organize items by height and frequency of use. Store dinner plates on one shelf, serving bowls on another, and linens on the third for complete dining room organization.
4. Two Hinged Doors -- Traditional hinged doors open wide for easy access to stored items, unlike sliding doors that only reveal half the interior at once. The doors close securely to keep contents dust-free and visually contained.
5. Tapered Leg Design -- The angled legs lift the cabinet off the floor, creating visual lightness and making it easier to clean underneath. This leg style is characteristic of mid-century and transitional furniture, giving the piece broader style compatibility.
6. Natural Finish -- The unstained wood finish shows the authentic color and grain of the wood species, aging beautifully over time. This neutral tone works with both warm and cool color palettes without committing to a specific stain color.
7. Compact Proportions -- At 43 inches wide, this sideboard fits comfortably in smaller dining rooms or apartments where larger buffets would overwhelm the space. The 17-inch depth keeps it from protruding too far into walkways.
8. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required -- simply unpack and place in your room. This saves hours of assembly time and eliminates the risk of loose joints that can develop with flat-pack furniture over time.

What Size Sideboard Do I Need for My Dining Room?

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. The Artesia Olivia at 43 inches wide works perfectly with dining tables from 60-66 inches long -- ideal for tables that seat 6-8 people comfortably. Standard sideboard height ranges from 30-36 inches, and this piece at 39 inches is slightly taller, providing more storage volume while maintaining proper proportions. The 17-inch depth keeps it from overwhelming narrow dining rooms while still offering substantial storage space. This size handles storage for a family of 4-6: dinner plates, salad plates, serving platters, table linens, and seasonal entertaining pieces. For secondary placements, the compact dimensions work well as an entryway console (though the 17-inch depth may be tight for keys and mail), home office credenza, or bedroom dresser alternative for folded clothes and accessories.

How to Style the Artesia Olivia in Your Coastal Dining Room

Place this sideboard centered on the longest wall in your dining room, typically opposite windows to balance natural light. Position it 12-18 inches from your dining table to allow comfortable chair movement while maintaining visual connection between the pieces. On top, layer a table lamp with a natural linen shade at one end (24-26 inch height works best with the 39-inch cabinet height), add a wooden bowl or woven tray for keys and small items, and include a small plant or dried coastal grasses for organic texture. The wicker door panels naturally complement jute or sisal rugs -- choose a minimum 8x10 foot rug to properly anchor your dining table and sideboard together. Inside the cabinet, store everyday dinnerware on the lower shelves and reserve the top shelf for seasonal serving pieces or table linens. This piece transitions beautifully from dining storage to entryway console or bedroom dresser -- in a bedroom, use it for folded sweaters, jeans, and accessories while displaying books and personal items on top.

Ideal for small families furnishing a 10x12 foot dining room who need storage that doesn't visually overwhelm the space while providing organization for daily dining and entertaining needs. Interior designers specifying bohemian or coastal pieces for residential projects will find the handmade construction and natural materials offer better longevity than mass-produced alternatives at this price point. Well-suited for boutique hotels and bed-and-breakfasts seeking authentic, artisanal storage for guest rooms or dining areas -- the handcrafted quality reads as intentional design rather than budget furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dining table size does this sideboard work with?

Is this solid wood or veneer construction?

This cabinet features solid wood construction with genuine wicker door panels -- not printed wood-grain veneer or fake wicker overlays. At this price point, you typically find MDF with veneer, making the solid wood construction excellent value for handmade furniture.

Can this sideboard work as a TV stand?

At 43 inches wide, this cabinet can accommodate TVs up to 48 inches diagonal comfortably. However, the wicker door panels may interfere with remote control signals to devices stored inside, and there's no built-in cable management. Consider this primarily for storage with the TV as a secondary function.

How does this compare to similar sideboards at West Elm or CB2?

Unlike West Elm's engineered wood construction with printed finishes, this offers genuine solid wood with hand-woven wicker details. CB2's comparable pieces require assembly and typically use veneer over particleboard, while this arrives fully assembled with authentic materials at competitive pricing.
