Sideboards buffets are frequently considered synonymous and they do serve similar functions. There are some distinct differences. First, a buffet is more likely to be in a dining room, whereas a sideboard might be found in a kitchen or a dining room. Another difference is that buffets often have longer legs than a sideboard, and have a series of drawers and cubbies for storing things. Sideboards are more likely to have short legs or simply a base, although they are also used for storage and for displaying things. Both are useful things to have in your cooking and dining area.

Sideboard Buffet
Walker Edison
What we like: Rich herringbone pattern
What we don’t like: Only two shelves within
Not so great for: A narrow hall
Perfect for: An entryway table
This sideboard buffet measures fifty-eight inches wide and has a wholly contemporary look. It would be a brilliant option for an entryway due to the double doors, which will hide away any shoes or outdoor clothing. Crafted from engineered wood and alloy steel, it is available in three finishes, white, black, or ash brown. All three have mid-brown doors.
Plus, the distinct herringbone pattern adds an accent touch that will still blend in with most décor schemes. Two shelves are included within, both of which are adjustable and can hold up to 50lbs each. Moreover, rubber feet will help to prevent any annoying scratching on your precious wooden floor.

The gorgeous fleur-de-lis detailing emblazoned across the front is what really elevates this sideboard. Although it is designed to hold televisions up to seventy inches wide, we think it would look especially good in a French country style living room. Whether you opt for tarnished gray or off-white, this sideboard will make a statement.

To further add to the understated silhouette, the three soft-close drawers and two cabinet doors have no hardware. This creates a fresh and uncluttered look perfect for a simple décor scheme.
We recommend this sideboard for a dining room due to its generously-sized storage spaces. You can easily fit large plates and other dinner party necessities inside so they’re hidden away until needed. Best of all, it arrives fully assembled, so you can get to work organizing straight away.

Requesting a place of dignity in your home, this Acadia wood sideboard is ready to offset a simple entertainment or dining area.

Glam Sideboard Buffet
Etta Avenue™
What we like: Smaller and bigger storage spaces
What we don’t like: Mirrored surface will get dirty easier
Not so great for: Pets or children
Perfect for: Adding glamour to a room
Crafted from solid and engineered wood in a metallic finish, this sideboard buffet will add glamour to your living space. Covered in mirrored panels, it will flood any room with natural light, but we recommend it for a hallway. This is because it will maximize light and make your entryway appear bigger.
The three drawers and inner shelves offer a ton of storage space. Additionally, the tapered feet take inspiration from mid-century modern trends for a touch of tradition. Although beautiful, we do not recommend this sideboard if you have pets or children. Mirrored panels will show fingerprints and smudges very easily, which could be frustrating to clean constantly.
