Black Sideboards

Black sideboards for the dining room

A black sideboard is a long, low cabinet that stores dishes, linens, and serving pieces along a dining room wall, and the black finish is what sets this group apart. A dark case grounds a room, hides fingerprints better than pale wood, and pairs with almost any table, chair, or wall color. At Two Seventy Nine, black sideboards start at $230.

The range covers several looks. Fluted fronts with vertical grooves are the most common, and there are arched-panel doors, farmhouse barn doors, mid-century sunburst and carved fronts, and plain modern push-open doors. Cases are built from solid wood, and a few pair the black case with glass doors, brass hardware, or a walnut top for contrast.

Storage is the point. Four doors is the standard layout, with wider 75-inch models running six doors, and several add two to five drawers across the top for flatware and napkins. Behind the doors you get adjustable shelves so you can set the height for plates, platters, or bottles, and the low-profile TV-stand versions leave an open shelf for a soundbar or console.

Sizes run from 30 inches wide for a small buffet or coffee bar up to about 75 inches for a full dining wall. Depth sits near 12 to 17.7 inches, and height ranges from about 24 inches on the console models to 35.8 inches on taller buffets. That range lets a black sideboard work behind a sofa, under a wall-mounted television, or across from a dining table.

If you want one storage piece that anchors the room and holds everything a dining table needs, a black sideboard is a practical choice, starting at $230. Every order ships free with delivery in 5 to 7 days.
