Mercana Wallen Three Drawers Wood Sideboard
When you're looking for substantial dining room storage that doesn't sacrifice style for function, most sideboards force you to choose between modern clean lines or classic warmth -- rarely both. The Mercana Wallen Three Drawers Wood Sideboard is a 79-inch solid mango wood credenza built for dining rooms that need serious storage capacity while maintaining sophisticated style, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. This dark walnut brown sideboard combines the sleek sled-base design of mid-century modern furniture with the rich wood grain and craftsmanship of traditional pieces. At nearly 7 feet wide, it's built for dining tables that seat 10-12 people, offering two hinged door cabinets flanking three spacious drawers in the center. The solid mango wood construction delivers durability that mass-market pieces can't match, while the smooth dark brown finish works equally well in contemporary and transitional dining spaces.What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet designed primarily for dining rooms to store dishes, linens, and serving pieces while providing a surface for food presentation during meals. Unlike a console table, a sideboard features enclosed storage with doors and drawers rather than open shelving. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, sideboards typically stand 30-36 inches tall and range from 48-84 inches wide. Best for dining rooms that need both hidden storage for everyday items and an elegant serving surface for entertaining, sideboards serve as the command center for family meals and dinner parties alike.What You Get With the Mercana Wallen Three Drawers Wood Sideboard
- Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required. Ready to place and use immediately, which means no weekend spent deciphering instruction manuals or hunting for missing screws.
- Solid Mango Wood Construction -- Built from genuine hardwood, not veneer over particleboard like most furniture in this price range. Mango wood offers excellent durability with a beautiful grain pattern that adds character to every piece.
- Five-Zone Storage System -- Two side cabinets with interior shelving provide hidden storage for larger items like serving platters and table linens, while three central drawers keep smaller items organized and accessible.
- Sled-Base Foundation -- The continuous wood base runs the full length of the sideboard, providing rock-solid stability while creating the floating appearance that defines modern design. No individual legs to wobble or adjust.
- Smooth Dark Brown Finish -- Hand-applied stain penetrates deep into the wood grain, creating rich color variation that won't chip or peel like painted surfaces. The finish highlights the natural wood texture while providing protection.
- Rounded Corner Details -- Softened edges throughout the design prevent sharp corners while adding visual sophistication. This detail work elevates the piece above basic box construction.
- Standard Counter Height at 33 Inches -- Perfect height for serving food and drinks during parties, while remaining comfortable for everyday use. The 21-inch depth provides ample surface space without protruding too far into the room.
- Hinged Door Hardware -- Traditional door mechanism ensures smooth operation and long-term reliability. Doors open wide for full access to interior storage compartments.
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 8-10 people, a sideboard up to 64 inches wide works perfectly -- the Wallen at 79 inches (201 cm) wide is designed for larger dining tables of 108+ inches that seat 10-12 people comfortably. Standard sideboard height is 30-36 inches, and the Wallen's 33-inch (84 cm) height hits the sweet spot for serving while seated guests can still see across the room. The 21-inch (53 cm) depth provides generous storage and serving surface while leaving adequate walking space in most dining rooms -- plan for at least 36 inches of clearance behind chairs when pulled out from the table. For room scale, this substantial piece works best in dining rooms of 12x12 feet or larger where its 79-inch width won't overwhelm the space.How to Style the Mercana Wallen Sideboard in Your Dining Room
Position the Wallen against your dining room's longest wall, typically opposite the main entrance to create a focal point as guests enter the space. The 79-inch width makes it ideal for floating between two windows or centering under a large piece of wall art. On top, create visual balance with a pair of 24-30 inch table lamps at either end, leaving the center section for a decorative bowl, small plants, or seasonal displays -- the 21-inch depth accommodates larger serving pieces during entertaining. Inside the side cabinets, store your fine china, serving platters, and table linens, while the three central drawers organize flatware, cloth napkins, and smaller serving utensils. For rug pairing, choose a dining room rug at least 9x12 feet to ground both your dining table and the sideboard in the same visual space. The rich walnut brown finish pairs beautifully with brass or black metal lighting fixtures. This sideboard also works as an entryway piece in larger homes, providing substantial storage for seasonal items, or as a media console in family rooms that need closed storage for games and electronics. Ideal for established homeowners furnishing a formal dining room of 200+ square feet who need substantial storage for entertaining 8-12 people regularly.

- What's the maximum dining table size this sideboard works with?
- The Wallen at 79 inches wide pairs best with dining tables 108-120 inches long. Following the 2/3 rule, it provides proper visual proportion for tables that seat 10-12 people. For smaller tables under 96 inches, consider a shorter sideboard to maintain room balance.
- Is this solid wood or veneer construction?
- This is genuine solid mango wood construction, not veneer over composite materials. At this price point, you get hardwood craftsmanship typically found in pieces costing significantly more from traditional furniture retailers. The solid wood construction means it can be refinished if needed and will last for decades with proper care.
- How long does assembly take?
- No assembly required -- the Wallen arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Simply unpack and place in your desired location. This is a major advantage over flat-pack furniture from mass retailers that require 2-3 hours of assembly time.
- Do you offer trade pricing for interior designers?
- Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail with no minimum order requirement and approval in 1-2 business days. This beats most competitors who require $1,000+ minimum orders for trade pricing.
- Can this sideboard be used as a TV stand?
- While the Wallen could physically support a TV, at 33 inches high it would place most TVs above comfortable viewing height for standard sofa seating. It's designed as dining room storage first, though it works excellently as an entryway or living room storage piece.
- What's your return policy if this doesn't fit my space?
- LOOMLAN offers a comprehensive return policy with detailed guidelines. Given the size and weight of this piece, we recommend confirming your room dimensions and delivery path before ordering.
- How does LOOMLAN compare to Article or CB2 for sideboards?
- LOOMLAN specializes in solid wood pieces from curated brands like Mercana, while Article and CB2 focus primarily on veneer construction. You also get free shipping with no minimum order, BBB accreditation, and access to trade pricing that beats CB2's 25% trade discount.
