Narrow sideboards and buffets come in myriads of varieties. To ensure that you get only the unit that suits your needs and preferences best, keep on reading as we've made a buying guide especially for you. Check it out.

What sideboard design will best fit your space?

Sideboards and buffets, which are also called as servers, are available in every style imaginable from traditional and modern to transition. If you have a farmhouse-style dining room or kitchen, we would suggest you choose a solid wood unit with exposed grain, turned feet, and decorative molding as you'll find it fitting for your space.

In a contemporary kitchen or dining room setting, what would work best is a streamlined design that has a glossy finish and clean lines.

If you want a sideboard or buffet that blends stunning classic architectural elements to designer-inspired furniture profiles, finishes, and materials, then it's a good choice if you have a space with a transitional theme.

When shopping for a narrow sideboard, server or buffet, you need to ensure the piece matches or complements the dining set you currently have.

What's the most durable material for sideboards and buffets?

Buffets and sideboards that are constructed out of solid hardwoods such as oak, cherry, and maple are more durable, resilient to damage, and they last longer. If you plan to store heavy dishes and plates on the shelves, make sure that your sideboard or buffet is made of high-quality, sturdy materials as you will need sufficient support for your collection.

There are those who prioritize affordability rather than construction, and this is perfectly fine. Consider models that have components (e.g. doors) made from composites or particle board. A buffet or sideboard that has glass sides will enable you to witness the contents with just a single glance. Solid sides, on the other hand, offer more protection in case the items tip over accidentally while inside the unit.

Who can benefit from a sideboard with lighting?

If you'll be using a sideboard to store keepsakes and art objects, consider models that have glass sides with pre-wired lighting. Whenever you turn off the overhead lights of your room, the lighting from your unit will create a sexy and romantic atmosphere. The lighting will enhance an intimate dining's mood. Just make sure that there is an electrical outlet near the location you have chosen for the unit. Typically, there's a switch inside a sideboard or buffet to control the lights.

What extra featuresto look for in a sideboard?

Select a sideboard or buffet that can double as a home credenza or living room furniture if you're trying to save money.
If you will be storing taller items, check for shelves that can be adjusted.
Choose a unit that has drawers if you will be storing candles, linens, and flatware.
