What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low storage cabinet designed for dining rooms, featuring doors and drawers to hold tableware, linens, and serving pieces. Sideboards typically measure 30-36 inches in height and provide a surface for food presentation during meals while concealing storage behind closed doors.
What You Get With the Mercana Phil Sideboard
- Intricate Hand-Carved Doors -- Beaded cabinet doors feature detailed carvings that create visual depth and reflect traditional Indian woodworking techniques.
- Dark Aged Brass Hardware -- Engraved knobs with matching detailing complement the carved door fronts for a cohesive old-world aesthetic.
- Customizable Interior Storage -- Removable shelves behind each door allow you to adjust storage heights for different items, from dinner plates to serving bowls.
- Center Drawer Bank -- Three central drawers provide dedicated space for flatware, napkins, and other dining essentials that need quick access.
- Solid Wood Construction -- Rich dark brown solid wood offers durability and a substantial presence in dining or living spaces.
How Do You Style a Long Low Sideboard Cabinet?
The Phil's 82-inch width makes it ideal for placement along dining room walls where it can anchor your table setting and provide serving space during meals. The 33-inch height works well beneath windows or wall art, and the hand-carved details pair beautifully with other pieces from our solid wood hand-carved sideboards collection. Consider it as a media console in living room furniture arrangements or use it in entryways where the ample drawer and cabinet storage can organize household essentials.
