Modern Sideboards

Modern sideboards and buffet cabinets

A modern sideboard is a low, long cabinet built for a dining room or living room, with a flat top for serving or display and closed storage below. The modern look here means straight lines, flush or push-to-open doors, and finishes that stay understated rather than ornate. At Two Seventy Nine, modern sideboards start at $265.

The range covers several door treatments: vertical fluted panels, carved and paneled fronts, plain slab doors, glass fronts, and one geometric white design. Cases are built from wood, with a couple of solid wood builds and two glass-door models. Colors run from black, the most common, through walnut, white, green, oak, natural, brown, and taupe, so the cabinet can sit quiet against a wall or stand out.

Widths span a wide range, from a 28 inch glass-door cabinet up to a 75 inch six-door buffet, with most models near 55 to 63 inches. Depth stays about 12 to 18 inches and height runs from 24 inches on the low consoles to 36 inches on the taller cabinets. Inside, adjustable shelves are standard on most, and several add two or three drawers for flatware and linens.

Styles cross modern, mid-century, minimalist, and a few Scandinavian and arched pieces, with gold or wood legs on some. This suits a dining room buffet, a living room media base, or an entryway catch-all. For a specific look, the fluted, curved, narrow, and tall sideboard pages narrow the range further.

Prices run from $265 for the compact carved two-door cabinet up to $265 for the wide walnut buffet with drawers. Every order ships free with delivery in 5 to 7 days.
