What Is a Sideboard?
A sideboard is a low, wide storage cabinet traditionally used in dining rooms to hold serving dishes, linens, and tableware, though modern sideboards function equally well as media consoles or hallway storage. Sideboards typically stand 30-40 inches tall and feature a combination of doors, drawers, or open shelving. The term is often used interchangeably with buffet cabinet or credenza, though credenzas historically have no legs and sit flush to the floor.
What You Get With the Furniture Classics Washed Blue Briquette Sideboard
- Serpentine Profile -- the curved front and sides create a distinctive silhouette that breaks up linear room layouts.
- Reclaimed Pine Construction -- solid reclaimed wood ensures durability while adding rustic texture and grain variation.
- Working Lock Hardware -- functional locks on the doors provide secure storage for valuables or sensitive items.
- Removable Interior Shelves -- adjust shelf height to accommodate tall vases, serving platters, or media equipment.
- Hand-Rubbed Blue-Gray Finish -- the finish is distressed to reveal natural pine undertones, creating a weathered patina.
- Generous Top Surface -- the 78.75-inch-wide top provides ample space for lamps, artwork, or decorative displays.
Where Does a Curved Sideboard Work Best?
Position this sideboard buffet along a dining room wall to balance a rectangular table, or float it in a living room to define zones in an open floor plan. The serpentine shape softens hard angles, making it a natural fit in entryways or hallways where flow matters. Pair it with other solid wood hand-carved pieces to build a layered, collected aesthetic, or use it as a focal point in a dining room anchored by simpler furnishings.
