Eldarion Handcrafted Wood Sideboard

Glass door sideboards that deliver visual lightness without sacrificing storage capacity solve a common design challenge in formal dining rooms. The Eldarion Handcrafted Wood Sideboard is a 70-inch Transitional sideboard built for dining rooms that need substantial storage with an airy, gallery-like display element, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. This handcrafted piece from LOOMLAN's curated collection features solid mango timber construction with wood-framed glass doors that create visual depth while keeping contents organized. At 40 inches tall and 17 inches deep, the Eldarion provides maximum storage without overwhelming smaller dining spaces. The distressed white finish adds sophistication while the glass elements prevent the piece from feeling too heavy or closed-off in your room.

What Is a Sideboard?

A sideboard is a long, low storage cabinet typically placed against a dining room wall to store dishes, linens, and serving pieces while providing a surface for food presentation. Unlike a console table, a sideboard offers enclosed storage with doors or drawers to keep items organized and dust-free. Also known as a buffet cabinet or credenza, sideboards are best for dining rooms that need both hidden storage and serving surface space during entertaining.

Key Features of the Eldarion Handcrafted Wood Sideboard

1. Arrives Fully Assembled -- No tools or setup required. Ready to place and use immediately, which is particularly valuable for a piece of this size and weight.
2. Solid Mango Timber Construction -- Built from genuine hardwood, not veneer over particle board. Mango wood provides durability and distinctive grain patterns that improve with age, making this an heirloom-quality investment.
3. Water-Resistant Lacquer Finish -- The protective coating resists spills and moisture damage, essential for dining room furniture that will encounter food and beverages. Easy to clean with just a damp cloth.
4. Wood-Framed Glass Door Panels -- Four hinged doors feature glass inserts in solid wood frames, allowing you to display beautiful dishware while protecting it from dust. The glass adds visual lightness to what could otherwise be a heavy-looking piece.
5. Brass-Finished Hardware -- Knobs coordinate beautifully with the warm wood tones and add an upscale detail that elevates the overall appearance. Brass hardware ages gracefully and maintains its finish over time.
6. Versatile Shelved Interior -- Multiple interior shelves provide flexible storage for everything from china and crystal to linens and serving pieces. The generous 70-inch width accommodates large platters and oversized items.
7. Stacked Top Design Detail -- The layered top construction adds architectural interest and prevents the long horizontal line from appearing monotonous. This detail work is hallmark of quality handcrafted furniture.
8. Notched Base Construction -- The recessed base creates the appearance of the cabinet floating slightly above the floor, making the substantial piece feel less visually heavy in your space.

Sizing Your Glass Door Sideboard for Your Dining Room

The rule for sideboard sizing is your piece should be no more than 2/3 the length of your dining table. For a 108-inch table (9 feet), the Eldarion's 70-inch width provides perfect proportion. For smaller tables -- a 96-inch table seats 8 comfortably -- this sideboard still works beautifully without overwhelming the space. Standard sideboard height ranges from 30-36 inches; at 40 inches tall, the Eldarion provides more storage volume while still allowing wall art or mirrors above. The 17-inch depth (43 cm) means the piece won't intrude too far into the room -- important in dining spaces where chairs need to pull out comfortably. Allow at least 36 inches between the sideboard and your dining table for proper traffic flow.

How to Style the Eldarion Sideboard in Your Dining Room

Position the Eldarion along your dining room's longest wall, centered if possible, or offset to balance other architectural elements like windows or doorways. The glass doors invite display -- arrange your finest china, crystal glasses, or decorative objects in the interior, keeping taller items toward the back and shorter pieces in front for visual depth. On top, create a balanced arrangement with a pair of table lamps at either end, a large mirror or artwork centered behind, and perhaps a decorative tray with seasonal accessories.

The 70-inch length provides ample surface space for serving during dinner parties -- use warming trays, serving platters, and beverage stations here. Inside, dedicate different shelves to specific items: china on one level, glassware on another, table linens in a lower section. For rugs, choose a size that extends at least 24 inches beyond each end of the sideboard -- an 8x10 or 9x12 rug works well in most dining rooms with this piece.

While designed for dining rooms, the Eldarion also excels as a living room display cabinet, entryway storage piece, or even a sophisticated bar cabinet with glassware visible through the doors. Consider pairing with dining chairs in complementary wood tones or pendant lighting that echoes the brass hardware finish.

Ideal for homeowners with formal dining rooms who entertain regularly and need substantial storage without visual heaviness. Interior designers specifying Transitional dining rooms will appreciate the handcrafted solid wood construction and LOOMLAN's up to 40% trade discount with no minimum order. Well-suited for boutique hotels and upscale vacation rental dining areas seeking furniture that appears custom but ships fully assembled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dining table size works best with this 70-inch sideboard?

The Eldarion pairs perfectly with dining tables 84-108 inches long (7-9 feet). For a 96-inch table that seats 8, this sideboard provides ideal proportion following the 2/3 rule. Even with smaller 72-84 inch tables, the piece works well if you have a spacious dining room.

Is this solid wood or veneer construction?

This is solid mango timber throughout with water-resistant lacquer finish.

No assembly required. The Eldarion arrives fully assembled and ready to place. Given the solid wood construction and glass door installation, professional assembly is included in your purchase.

Can this piece be used as a TV stand?
