Brown Wood Sideboard - Old Country - Heirloom Quality Wood

The Old Country sideboard brings reclaimed fir and alder together in a six-compartment cabinet that answers the dining room's real problem: where to put the linens, serveware, and flatware that pile up between meals. This Furniture Classics Old Country sideboard -- a horizontal storage cabinet crafted from salvaged wood and finished in contrasting brown tones -- is available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping. A sideboard is a low, wide cabinet traditionally placed in the dining room to hold dishes and linens while offering a flat serving surface; the Old Country version delivers that function with reclaimed timber, handcrafted joinery, and a raised top ledge that keeps platters secure.

Why Choose Reclaimed Wood from Sideboards and Things?

The reclaimed fir and alder in the Old Country sideboard carry grain patterns and color variations that reflect each plank's original life -- no two pieces match. At 59 inches wide and 19.75 inches deep, the cabinet anchors a dining room wall or works as a media console in a living room, while the raised top ledge keeps serving pieces from sliding and adds subtle architectural detail. Pair it with other pieces from our credenzas and sideboards collection or explore complementary solid wood furniture for a cohesive rustic interior.

Frequently Asked Questions

How tall should a sideboard be?

Most dining room sideboards stand 30 to 36 inches tall so the top sits at or just below table height; the Old Country measures 35.5 inches high, placing it at the upper end for comfortable serving.

What is the difference between a sideboard, a credenza, and a buffet?

A sideboard typically has legs and serves dining rooms, a credenza sits lower and appears in offices or living spaces, and a buffet refers to the same type of cabinet used for serving -- though today the terms are used interchangeably for low horizontal storage.

How much storage does it hold?

Three full-width drawers and three cabinet doors organize linens, flatware, serving dishes, wine glasses, and tablecloths -- enough to clear a dining table of clutter and keep essentials at hand.

What size sideboard fits my dining room?

At 59 inches wide and 19.75 inches deep, the Old Country sideboard fits behind most dining tables without protruding far into the room, and its 35.5-inch height keeps the top surface visible and accessible.

Does it arrive assembled?

Standard curbside delivery is free; white-glove placement, assembly, and packaging removal are available on request for an additional fee.

How do I care for reclaimed wood?

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, wipe spills immediately, and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture -- the reclaimed finish ages naturally with use.
