Solid Wood Sideboard & Dining Room Buffet Cabinets

Complete your kitchen or dining area with the addition of a wooden sideboard to provide stylish storage. Our collection of wood buffet cabinets is completely customizable to match your dining room furniture. Select the matching wood and color, as well as style details like a beveled edge along the buffet top that matches the table.

Sideboards and Buffets Size Options

Buffet cabinet styles come in varying standard sizes for your convenience. Small 2-door options range from 36"-48" wide depending on the style of the cabinets. Larger buffets typically have 3 or 4 doors, or a stack of drawers in the center. These larger buffets are commonly at least 60"-72" wide, offering ample storage and serving space.

Perhaps the most common custom option is the ability to order any sideboard or buffet in a custom size. For small dining rooms where every inch counts, having the buffet slimmed down to 16"-18" deep instead of 22" gains valuable floor space. This helps maneuverability around the dining table as well.

You can configure the storage space within our buffet cabinets for your specific needs. Add a wine rack into the base or extra drawers for storing seasonal linens. Request storage solutions such a silverware divider insert inside buffet drawers. Pullout trays add extra serving space if you often setup dessert or beverages along the buffet table top.

A common custom request is the addition of a top hutch cabinet. Traditional enclosed, glass display top cabinets offer storage to showcase treasured family heirlooms. Modern, open shelving hutch tops create a place to display seasonal decor or collectibles. These top options are available on any buffet base cabinet.

Aside from variations of our standard buffets, we also build completely one of a kind, custom wood buffets. Submit a picture or simple sketch of your vision along with the dimensions and type of wood you are looking for. Our artisans use local hardwoods. Some designs are not possible because of the characteristics of solid wood.

Our team is happy to assemble a free quote of the custom buffet along with a detailed 3D blueprint upon request. The visual aid eliminates the stress of custom ordering. See at a glance how the sideboard will fit into your room.

Open floor layouts of spacious new homes often need a large buffet to fit proportionately on an open wall. Having your buffet made a few inches taller helps ground the space as well. Taller buffets also become more visible when setting behind a large dining table. A room with high ceilings is great for displaying a tall buffet with a mirror or piece of art above it.

Aside from the kitchen and dining room, solid wood sideboards are versatile in other rooms as well. Some styles are perfect as TV stands in the family or living room, with or without added wine storage. A 2-door buffet may fit perfectly in a small entryway, creating a beautiful drop zone inside the front door.

Choosing the Best Wood for a Sideboard Cabinet

How do you know which wood type is best for your solid wood buffet? All the hardwoods used by our Amish craftsmen are durable, long-lasting and sturdy. Much of it comes down to personal preference. Here is a quick guide to common Ohio hardwoods used in solid wood buffets.

Maple wood has a smooth, subtle grain texture with simple elegance. The light color of Maple wood makes it a natural choice for those wanting a buffet with a light brown or grayish wood tone. These stain colors beautifully complement the neutral color scheme of farmhouse interior design styles.

Maple is easy to find and paints nicely, so we often use it for black or white painted buffets. Opt for a smooth white painted buffet base with a coordinating wood stained top. Popular top stain colors on Maple wood include Cocoa Light, Sandy Point, and DC Driftwood.

Cherry wood has a similar hardness and grain texture as Maple. The main difference between the two is the undertone in the wood. Natural or light stains on Cherry wood will have a warm, reddish undertone that darkens with age.

Medium stain colors are most popular on Cherry wood, such as Michael's Cherry and Asbury Brown. People typically use cherry wood buffets in traditional, more formal dining areas.

Red and White Oak, along with Hickory wood have a prominent grain texture. Durability wise, these tend to rank highest on the Janka hardness scale. Hickory tops the chart at 1820, the hardest wood type we use.

Lighter stains on Oak or Hickory tend to lend an informal, slightly rustic appeal to your home. Dark stains will even out the grain texture and lean more traditionally formal.

White oak wood with a light stain color is especially beautiful in mid-century modern dining room styles. Mid-century modern interior design styles lean toward minimalism, no extra details or trim work. The simple designs highlight the grain texture of White Oak wood.

Walnut is a beautiful wood option for a modern dining room sideboard. The natural grayish brown tone of the wood makes it perfect with a clear finish and no stain applied at all. Light gray or tan stains will smooth the color variations, while still showcasing the grain texture of the wood. Live edge buffet tops of solid walnut add a stunning wood accent to your space.

Elm wood is a local hardwood used often by Amish craftsmen in Ohio. The feathery grain texture in Elm appears almost exotic looking. In dining room buffets, we use Elm wood most often as part of a 2-tone cabinet. The top of the buffet may be Elm wood with the base crafted using Maple wood and a black Ebony stain.

Finally, another hardwood option is choosing reclaimed barnwood. Sustainably sourced reclaimed wood buffets are available in multiple sizes and styles.
