Full Specifications

What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low, wide storage cabinet designed specifically for dining rooms to hold dishes, serving pieces, and linens while providing a surface for food service during meals. Unlike a console table which is typically narrower and more decorative, a sideboard offers substantial enclosed storage with both drawers and cabinets. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, sideboards typically measure 30-36 inches in height and 48-80 inches in width. Best for dining rooms that need both storage and serving surface, a quality sideboard like the Runway model can also function as a media console in living rooms or entryway storage in larger homes.

What You Get With the LH Imports Runway Three Drawers Wood Sideboard

1. Solid Oak Construction -- This isn't veneer over particleboard like you'll find at big box stores. The entire cabinet is built from solid oak, which means it can handle the weight of dishes and serving pieces for decades without sagging or warping. The natural wood grain varies from piece to piece, giving each sideboard unique character.
2. Three Storage Drawers -- The top drawer measures 22.5" x 12.5" x 3.75", perfect for flatware, placemats, and napkins. The two lower drawers are deeper at 5.75" high, ideal for larger serving utensils, dish towels, and table runners. Full-extension slides mean you can access items in the back corners easily.
3. Two Soft-Close Door Compartments -- Behind each door, you'll find adjustable shelving with three height positions to accommodate everything from dinner plates to tall vases. The soft-close hinges prevent slamming and add a premium feel every time you open them. Each compartment offers generous storage for dishes, glassware, or even wine bottles.
4. Adjustable Interior Shelving -- Unlike fixed shelves, these adjust to three different heights, so you can store short bowls on one level and tall pitchers on another. This flexibility means you're not stuck with shelf spacing that doesn't match your actual storage needs. The clearances range from 7.75" to 13" depending on configuration.
5. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required. This 156-pound cabinet arrives ready to place and use immediately, which is a huge advantage over flat-pack furniture that takes hours to assemble and often feels wobbly when complete.
6. Tapered Leg Design -- The legs lift the cabinet off the floor for a lighter visual appearance and make cleaning underneath easier. The taper adds a subtle mid-century modern touch while keeping the overall design clean and contemporary.
7. Light Oak Finish -- This warm, natural finish works with both warm and cool color schemes. The light tone brightens dining rooms without looking too casual or rustic. Oak's natural durability means the finish ages well and can be refreshed if needed years down the road.
8. Generous Proportions -- At nearly 67 inches wide, this sideboard works with larger dining tables and provides serious serving surface. The 17.7-inch depth gives you storage capacity without protruding too far into the room's traffic flow.

What Size Sideboard Do I Need for My Dining Room?

The rule is your sideboard should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For a 96-inch table that seats eight people, that means a sideboard up to 64 inches wide -- making this 66.9-inch Runway model perfect for tables in that range or larger. If you have a smaller 72-inch table, this sideboard will be proportionally larger but still work well visually. Standard sideboard height runs 30-36 inches, and this piece at 31.5 inches hits the sweet spot for comfortable serving height while fitting under most dining room windows. The 17.7-inch depth (45 cm) provides substantial storage without making your dining room feel cramped -- you'll want at least 36 inches between the sideboard and your dining table for comfortable chair pullout and walking space. In metric terms, this sideboard measures 170 x 45 x 80 cm, requiring a dining room of at least 4 x 3 meters to feel properly proportioned.

How to Style the Runway Sideboard in Your Dining Room

Position this sideboard against your longest dining room wall, typically opposite any built-in storage or buffet niche. The light oak finish pairs beautifully with both warm metals like brass and copper, and cooler metals like matte black and pewter. On top, create height variation with a table lamp on one end (24-30 inches tall works well), a medium-height decorative object or small plant in the center, and perhaps a tray with glasses or a decanter on the other end. Inside the drawers, store everyday linens in the top drawer and serving pieces in the lower drawers. The cabinet compartments work perfectly for storing dishes you don't use daily -- good china, serving platters, or seasonal items like holiday dinnerware.

For area rugs, choose one that's at least 9 x 12 feet so both the dining table and sideboard sit fully on the rug, creating a cohesive dining zone. This sideboard can also work beautifully as a media console in larger living rooms, though you'll want to ensure your TV width doesn't exceed the 67-inch cabinet width for proper visual proportion. Consider pairing it with upholstered dining chairs in complementary tones or pendant lighting that picks up the oak's warm undertones.

Ideal for homeowners with dining rooms larger than 200 square feet who need substantial storage for entertaining and daily dining needs. Interior designers specifying organic modern or contemporary dining rooms will appreciate the solid oak construction and LOOMLAN's up to 40% trade discount with no minimum order. Well-suited for boutique hotels and vacation rental dining areas seeking furniture that looks residential but ships fully assembled and handles commercial use -- the solid oak construction and soft-close hardware stand up to frequent use better than veneer alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sideboard work with a 72-inch dining table?

Yes, though it will be proportionally larger than the traditional 2/3 rule suggests. At 66.9 inches wide, it's about 93% of your table length, which creates a bold, substantial look. If you prefer smaller proportions, consider that this sideboard offers exceptional storage capacity that smaller pieces can't match.

Is this solid wood or veneer over particleboard?

This is solid oak throughout, not veneer. At this price point, you get construction quality typically found in pieces costing significantly more from mainstream retailers. The solid wood construction means better durability, the ability to refinish if needed, and natural wood movement that gives each piece character over time.

Does this arrive fully assembled?

Yes, this arrives completely assembled and ready to use immediately. No tools, hardware, or setup required. Just unpack and place in your dining room. This is a major advantage over flat-pack furniture that requires hours of assembly and often feels less sturdy when complete.

Can I get trade pricing on this sideboard?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail with no minimum order and approval in 1-2 business days. This is significantly better than competitors -- Crate & Barrel Trade offers 25% off with a $1,000 minimum, while Arhaus requires a $2,500 minimum order for their 30% discount.

What is LOOMLAN's return policy?

LOOMLAN offers a comprehensive return policy detailed at loomlan.com/pages/returns. Given the size and weight of this sideboard, we recommend reviewing the policy before purchase, especially regarding white glove delivery and return logistics.

Can this be used as a TV stand?

While it's designed as a dining room sideboard, it could work as a media console for TVs up to about 65 inches wide. However, there's no specific cable management, and you'll want to ensure adequate ventilation around any electronics you place inside the cabinets.

How does this compare to sideboards from West Elm or CB2?

This solid oak construction offers significantly better durability than the veneer-over-engineered wood pieces typically found at those retailers. Plus, it arrives fully assembled rather than requiring several hours of flat-pack assembly. LOOMLAN's free shipping also beats most competitors who charge for white glove delivery on pieces this size and weight.
