What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet designed for dining rooms to hold dishes, linens, and serving pieces while providing a surface for food presentation. Also called a buffet cabinet or credenza, sideboards typically range from 60 to 80 inches wide and stand 30 to 36 inches high.
What You Get With the Mercana Poppy Sideboard
- Four Glass-Panel Doors -- Metallic cross-hatch pattern adds visual interest while protecting dishes from dust and keeping less attractive items hidden.
- Solid Iron Construction -- Built from sturdy iron throughout with no particle board, this frame handles heavy dishes, books, or barware without structural concerns.
- 79-Inch Storage Length -- Over six and a half feet wide provides serious linear storage that accommodates full dinner service for 8-12 people with room for serving pieces and linens.
- Black Powder Coat Finish -- Durable industrial finish resists scratches and maintains its appearance through daily use in high-traffic dining areas.
Where Does This Sideboard Work Best?
The 79-inch width suits large dining rooms or open-plan spaces where you need substantial storage without visual bulk. The glass doors pair well with solid wood sideboards in eclectic spaces or anchor industrial-themed living rooms as a media console or bar cabinet.
