Brentan Black Sideboard

This server is an excellent choice for smaller homes or urban apartments due to its slim 18-inch depth. Its low-profile footprint provides significant storage capacity without overwhelming a narrow dining area. Furthermore, the elevated leg base creates visual "white space" underneath the unit, a design technique that helps a room feel more open and airy rather than cramped.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain the rich black finish. For minor spills, a dampened cloth with mild soap and water is sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes, as these can strip the finish and damage the intricate, handmade geometric detailing. In regions with significant seasonal humidity changes, keeping the server away from direct heat sources will help prevent the natural Acacia wood from expanding or contracting.

To ensure a comfortable flow in your room, a server should be proportional to your dining table. This model measures 59 inches in width, making it a perfect match for dining tables seating six to eight people. For optimal functionality, especially when hosting, we recommend leaving 24 to 36 inches of clearance between the server and other furniture to allow for easy movement and full access to the drawers and cabinets.

A combination of drawers and doors offers the most versatile storage for a dining area. This server includes three drawers, which are ideal for organizing delicate items like silverware, cloth napkins, and serving utensils. The two doors open to reveal larger compartments, providing the necessary height and depth to store fine china, oversized platters, or seasonal centerpiece displays out of sight and protected from dust.

While these terms are often used interchangeably, this sideboard—also categorized as a buffet server—is specifically designed to provide a functional serving surface and ample storage for dining essentials. Traditionally, sideboards feature a longer, lower profile. This piece stands 30 inches high and features an elegant leg base, making it a versatile storage solution that works equally well in a formal dining room or a sophisticated entryway.

This server features a solid Acacia wood top, a material we highly recommend for its superior durability and natural resistance to warping. Unlike many pieces made from engineered wood or MDF, the solid wood construction and handmade geometric design offer long-term stability and a unique, luxe Hollywood glam aesthetic. Investing in solid wood ensures the piece can withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining its structural integrity and beauty for years.
