What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a low, wide storage cabinet typically placed along a dining room wall to hold dinnerware, linens, and serving pieces. Unlike a console table, a sideboard features enclosed storage with doors and drawers rather than open shelving, keeping contents dust-free and organized. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza when used in other rooms, sideboards range from 48 to 80 inches wide and stand 30-36 inches tall. This furniture piece is best for formal dining rooms, large kitchens, or any space requiring substantial concealed storage with a decorative surface for display.

What You Get With the Dralena White Washed Wood Sideboard

1. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required, which is rare for an 80-inch piece. Most sideboards this size ship in pieces, but this arrives ready to place against your wall immediately.
2. Hand-Carved Block Pattern Doors -- Each of the four doors features intricate blocks of various shapes carved directly into solid mango wood, creating depth and texture that mimics rustic stone walls. This isn't applied veneer -- it's carved from the actual door material.
3. Solid Mango Wood Construction -- Built entirely from solid mango wood rather than engineered wood or veneer over MDF. Mango wood is sustainably harvested from fruit trees at the end of their productive life, making this an eco-friendly choice with natural grain variations.
4. Hand-Applied White Wash Finish -- The white wash stain is applied by hand, allowing the natural wood grain to show through while creating an authentically weathered appearance. Each piece will have unique color variations and grain patterns.
5. Chrome Bar Pull Hardware -- Sleek chrome door pulls provide a modern contrast to the rustic wood, making doors easy to grip while adding sophisticated metallic accents that work with both warm and cool color schemes.
6. Sled Base Design -- The continuous sled base eliminates individual legs, creating clean lines and making floor cleaning easier. This base style also provides excellent stability for the 80-inch width without wobbling.
7. Four-Door Enclosed Storage -- Four hinged doors conceal ample storage space for dinnerware, table linens, or barware. The enclosed design keeps contents dust-free and organized, unlike open shelving that requires constant dusting.
8. Substantial 80-Inch Width -- At nearly seven feet wide, this sideboard can handle storage needs for large families or frequent entertainers, with enough surface area on top for table lamps, art, and seasonal decor.

What Size Sideboard Do I Need for My Dining Room?

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. This 80-inch Dralena sideboard works perfectly with dining tables 120 inches (10 feet) or longer -- think large farmhouse tables that seat 10-12 people comfortably. Standard sideboard height runs 30-36 inches, and this piece sits at 36 inches, ideal for adult use without requiring step stools. The 19-inch depth provides substantial storage without protruding too far into walkways.

This sideboard handles storage for 8-12 people's worth of dining essentials: dinner plates, salad plates, serving bowls, cloth napkins, placemats, and entertaining pieces. For secondary placements, the 19-inch depth works in spacious entryways (most entryways need minimum 12-inch depth), and it can serve as a media credenza alternative in large living rooms, though you'll want to consider cable management for TV setups.

How to Style the Dralena Sideboard in Your Dining Room

Position this sideboard along your longest dining room wall, typically opposite windows to avoid competing with natural light. With an 80-inch width, center it behind your dining table for balanced proportions, allowing 12-18 inches between the table and sideboard for chair clearance during meals.

On top, the white washed finish pairs beautifully with warm brass or bronze table lamps in the 26-28 inch height range -- shorter lamps get lost on this substantial piece. Layer in natural textures like woven baskets for remotes or small plants, and hang a large mirror or artwork above, keeping it 6-8 inches above the sideboard surface.

Inside the four doors, store your best dinnerware on one side and table linens on the other. The enclosed storage keeps everything dust-free and organized. For room-wide styling, anchor the space with at least an 8x10 foot rug that extends under both the dining table and sideboard front legs.

Beyond dining rooms, this piece works as a statement credenza in large entryways, home offices, or living rooms. The farmhouse aesthetic pairs naturally with rustic dining chairs and reclaimed wood dining tables.

Interior designers specifying Bohemian Farmhouse pieces for residential projects will appreciate the solid wood construction and hand-carved details that justify the investment over mass-produced alternatives. Well-suited for boutique hotels and bed & breakfasts seeking authentic rustic charm -- the solid mango wood construction and hand-applied finish provide the durability needed for commercial settings while maintaining residential warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dining table size does this 80-inch sideboard work with?

This sideboard works best with dining tables 120 inches (10 feet) or longer, following the 2/3 rule where your sideboard should be no more than 2/3 your table length. It's designed for large farmhouse tables that seat 10-12 people comfortably. For smaller tables, this piece will overwhelm the proportions.

Is this solid wood or veneer construction?

This is solid mango wood throughout -- not veneer over particle board or MDF. At this price point, you typically find engineered wood with veneer facings, but this uses genuine solid wood construction. Mango wood is sustainably harvested from fruit trees at the end of their productive life, so you're getting both quality and environmental responsibility.

Does this arrive assembled or require assembly?

This sideboard arrives fully assembled, which is remarkable for an 80-inch piece. Most sideboards this size ship in pieces requiring 2-4 hours of assembly, but this comes ready to place against your wall immediately. You'll just need to position it and style it.

Is there a trade or designer discount available?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail pricing with no minimum order requirement. Compare this to CB2's 25% discount with $1,000 minimum, or Arhaus requiring $2,500 minimums. Approval takes 1-2 business days, and trade pricing automatically applies when you log in.

What is LOOMLAN's return policy for large furniture pieces?

LOOMLAN offers returns on furniture with some restrictions for large pieces like this 80-inch sideboard. Check the complete return policy for specific details about timing and condition requirements. Given the size and weight, inspect carefully upon delivery.

Can this sideboard work as a TV stand for large screens?

While the 80-inch width could support TVs up to 85 inches, this piece isn't designed for media use. At 36 inches high, it's taller than ideal TV viewing height (24-30 inches recommended). Plus, there's no built-in cable management, and the enclosed doors don't accommodate media components that need ventilation.

How does this compare to similar sideboards from West Elm or Article?

This solid mango wood construction with hand-carved details stands apart from the engineered wood and veneer construction typical at West Elm. Article's sideboards in this size range use veneer over particle board, while this uses solid wood throughout. The hand-applied white wash finish and fully assembled delivery add value that mass retailers can't match.
