What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet designed primarily for dining rooms, featuring doors and sometimes drawers for storing dishes, linens, and serving pieces. Unlike a console table, a sideboard provides enclosed storage to keep items dust-free and organized. Also known as a credenza or buffet cabinet, this furniture type typically measures 30-36 inches in height -- the perfect height for serving food or displaying decor. Best for dining rooms that need both storage and a surface for serving during meals or displaying decorative items year-round.

What You Get With the LH Imports Tempo Wooden White Sideboard

1. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required. This 165-pound piece ships ready to place and use immediately, which is a significant advantage over flat-pack alternatives that can take hours to assemble and often feel wobbly when finished.
2. Distinctive Arched Door Design -- Four doors feature captivating arched fronts that create visual rhythm along the 76-inch length. These aren't applied details but integral to the door construction, giving the piece architectural character that works in both traditional and contemporary settings.
3. Solid Mango Wood Construction -- Built entirely from solid mango wood, not veneer over particle board. This sustainable hardwood offers natural durability and grain patterns that make each piece unique, plus it ages beautifully over decades of use.
4. Generous Storage Configuration -- Two separate double-door cabinets provide organized storage for different categories of items. Each cabinet section includes shelving for maximum versatility in storing everything from table linens to serving dishes.
5. Push-Pull Door System -- Doors open and close with smooth push-pull hardware rather than traditional knobs or pulls. This creates clean lines across the front while ensuring easy access to contents with a simple press.
6. Interior Shelf Specifications -- Each cabinet features fixed shelving with precise dimensions: top shelf measures 36.75 x 14.25 x 14.25 inches, bottom shelf measures 36.75 x 13.75 x 14.25 inches. These measurements accommodate standard dinnerware sets and serving pieces.
7. Professional White Finish -- The white finish is applied over the natural mango wood to create a smooth, elegant surface that complements any decor style. This isn't paint that will chip easily but a properly applied furniture finish designed for durability.
8. Compact Depth Profile -- At just 16 inches deep, this sideboard provides maximum storage without overwhelming smaller dining rooms. The narrow profile means it won't interfere with chair pull-out space even in tighter layouts.

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 72-inch table, that means a sideboard up to 48 inches wide. The Tempo Sideboard at 76 inches (193 cm) wide works best with dining tables 108+ inches long, making it ideal for tables that seat 10-12 people comfortably. At 34 inches (86 cm) high, it falls within the standard sideboard height range of 30-36 inches -- tall enough to provide useful surface area while staying below typical artwork hanging height. The 16-inch (41 cm) depth is actually advantageous in most dining rooms, as it provides substantial storage while maintaining at least 18 inches of clearance behind dining chairs for comfortable seating and movement.

How to Style the Tempo White Sideboard in Your Dining Room

Position this sideboard along the longest wall in your dining room, allowing at least 6 inches of clearance on each end for visual breathing room. The 76-inch length makes it substantial enough to anchor a large wall while the white finish keeps it from overwhelming the space. On top, create a balanced display with a pair of table lamps on the outer thirds, leaving the center section for a large piece of artwork above or a decorative tray with candles or seasonal elements. The arched door detail pairs beautifully with round or oval mirrors hung above -- the curved elements echo each other without being too matchy. Inside the cabinets, use the generous shelf space for storing your good dinnerware, cloth napkins, table runners, and serving pieces you don't use daily. The enclosed storage keeps everything dust-free while remaining easily accessible for entertaining. Consider adding shelf liner to protect the interior from scratches and make cleaning easier. For rug pairing, choose a rug at least 9x12 feet to accommodate both the dining table and sideboard within the rug's boundaries. This creates a cohesive dining zone and prevents the sideboard from feeling disconnected from the rest of the room setup. This piece also works beautifully as a media console in large living rooms, an entryway storage piece in spacious foyers, or even as a bedroom credenza for storing linens and clothing in primary bedrooms with enough square footage. Ideal for established homeowners furnishing a formal or semi-formal dining room who need substantial storage for entertaining essentials without sacrificing style. Interior designers specifying Contemporary or Transitional dining rooms will appreciate the solid wood construction and LOOMLAN's up to 40% trade discount with no minimum order requirement. Well-suited for boutique hotels and luxury vacation rental properties seeking furniture that looks custom-built but ships fully assembled and handles commercial use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this 76-inch sideboard fit in my dining room?

Measure your available wall space and ensure you have at least 88 inches of clear wall length (76 inches plus 6 inches clearance on each side). The 16-inch depth means it needs 18-20 inches from the wall to allow for door opening. For rooms with dining tables, confirm there's still 36+ inches between the sideboard and table for comfortable movement.

Is this solid wood or veneer?

This is solid mango wood throughout, not veneer over particle board or MDF. At this price point, you get genuine hardwood construction typically found in pieces costing significantly more from traditional furniture stores. Mango wood is sustainable, durable, and develops character over time unlike veneer pieces that can chip or peel.

How long does assembly take?

No assembly required -- this sideboard ships fully assembled and ready to use. Simply position it in your room and it's ready. This is a major advantage over flat-pack alternatives that can require 2-4 hours of assembly and often result in less sturdy construction.

Do you offer trade pricing for designers?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail pricing with no minimum order requirement. Approval takes 1-2 business days, and trade pricing automatically appears after login -- no coupon codes needed.

What is your return policy?

LOOMLAN offers a comprehensive return policy for customer satisfaction. Given the size and weight of this piece, we recommend confirming measurements and finish preference before ordering.

Can this be used as a TV stand?

While it's designed as a dining room sideboard, the 76-inch width and sturdy construction could accommodate large TVs. However, the 34-inch height may be too high for comfortable TV viewing in most living room setups where optimal viewing height is typically 24-30 inches from the floor.

How does this compare to similar pieces from West Elm or CB2?

Unlike mass retailers who often use veneer over particle board construction, this piece is solid mango wood throughout. You also get fully assembled delivery instead of flat-pack DIY assembly, and LOOMLAN offers professional trade pricing (up to 40%) versus West Elm's limited trade discount options.
