What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low, long cabinet designed primarily for dining room storage and serving, typically featuring doors or drawers for enclosed storage. Unlike a console table, a sideboard offers storage space for dishes, linens, and serving pieces, making it ideal for formal dining situations.
What You Get With the Mercana Sorina Light Brown Wood Sideboard
- Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required, ready to place and use immediately without the hassle of flat-pack assembly.
- Solid Mango Wood Construction -- Built entirely from solid mango wood rather than veneer over particleboard, ensuring genuine wood grain throughout and natural durability.
- Reverse Fluted Door Design -- CNC-cut vertical fluted pattern on each door panel creates visual texture and movement while maintaining clean contemporary lines.
- Four Hinged Doors with Recessed Handles -- Traditional hinged doors with handles cut directly into the frame eliminate protruding hardware for seamless contemporary styling.
Where Does a 72-Inch Sideboard Work Best?
At 72 inches wide and 30 inches high, this buffet cabinet fits alongside dining tables that seat 6-8 people, providing enclosed storage without overwhelming the room. Pair it with other dining room furniture in organic modern finishes, or use it in open-plan spaces where you need living room storage that doubles as a media console.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How tall should a sideboard be?
- Standard sideboards range from 30-36 inches high, which places the surface at a comfortable height for serving food and allows most people to reach items stored inside without bending significantly.
- What is the difference between a sideboard and a credenza?
- The terms are often used interchangeably, though traditionally a credenza has shorter legs or sits closer to the floor, while a sideboard may have taller legs -- both provide enclosed dining room storage.
- What do you put in a dining room sideboard?
- Common items include table linens, extra dishes and glassware, serving platters, flatware, candles, and barware -- essentially anything you use for dining and entertaining but don't want visible on open shelves.
- How deep is a standard sideboard?
- Most sideboards measure 16-20 inches deep, which provides adequate storage capacity for dinnerware and linens while remaining shallow enough to fit along dining room walls without protruding too far into the room.
- Does this sideboard ship fully assembled?
- Yes, the Mercana Sorina ships fully assembled with free shipping to the continental US, eliminating the need for tools or setup time.
- What makes solid mango wood a good choice for furniture?
- Mango wood is a sustainable hardwood with attractive grain patterns, natural durability, and resistance to warping, making it ideal for furniture that sees daily use in dining rooms.
