Unique Sideboards and Buffets We Love

The Mendoza Narrow Sideboard combines an adjustable wooden shelf concealed behind a sliding door with four drawers to fulfill practical storage needs. This buffet delivers unique touches galore, from the distinct rough-sawn maple to the eye-catching wheels that guide the door along its track. The result is a charming industrial sideboard that would supplement your modern farmhouse dining table.

This handsome sideboard conveys sophistication with every inch of its minimalist design, from the flush doors to the unusual base design. Uniquely square handles made from satin nickel jump forth from the wood to make the server to further underscore the modern aesthetic.

Uniqueness comes in many forms, as exhibited by the next buffet. Though simple in its Mission design, the Bernice Reclaimed Buffet’s distinctiveness comes from the hardwood itself – upcycled barnwood. We celebrate the distinct character of the timber, including filling (but not eliminating) nail and knot holes. The result is a buffet that highlights the wood’s unique history and grain. Best of all, you can choose two-tone staining that helps the organic coloring truly pop.

Unlike the other unique buffets and sideboards highlighted so far, the Cecilia Dining Server incorporates metal paneling, available in gold, silver, and black, for an unusual and truly modern accent. Plus, the dining server is available in three different lengths—36”, 54”, and 72”—enabling you to customize the buffet to precisely your dining room’s needs.

Proving that decor themes rooted in tradition can feel undeniably modern is the Shaker-styled Chipita Park Dining Server. When you behold the smooth, angled lines of this piece, there’s no avoiding falling in love. Choose the hardwood, stain, style of knobs, and make the server truly your own.

The Eddington Reclaimed Sideboard offers a big personality, thanks to its swooping black metal feet bridged with a decorative wood beam. Further enhancing the buffet are tasteful yet decorative black hinges that stand out against the reclaimed barn wood. Pair this unique sideboard with other furniture in its dining set or the metal-base dining table.

One look, and it’s immediately obvious why this buffet is unique—the appealing 3D pattern of the sliding doors serves as a chic dining room accent. Other features you'll appreciate include the discreet handles and splayed legs for a clean, minimalist design. Purchase the buffet individually or as part of the Mid-Century set, complete with a glass tabletop and chairs.

Unlike the other sideboards on this list, the Berkshire Wine Cabinet is uniquely built to showcase 20 bottles in the lattice and hang stemware. However, its thoughtful design extends beyond its utility to include bowed edges, a two-stain combination, and a selection of striking knobs. With the option to choose your own wood species, colors, and hardware, you can make the Berkshire Wine Cabinet Buffet truly unique to your home.

This unique dining buffet will feel right at home in a rustic or industrial farmhouse setting, thanks to its heavy use of rough-sawn maple uninterrupted by handles or adornments. The sideboard offers drawers of multiple sizes and modifiable shelves, catering to a variety of storage needs. Best of all, this buffet can be bought with the Cypress Dining Set or paired with the Cypress Bedroom Furniture Set.

The unique Laurelai Dining Server exemplifies cutting-edge design thanks to its robust hardwood and sleek steel accents completed with the powder coat coloring of your choosing. Boasting reverse bevel edges, a personalized hardwood frame, and a hand-applied finish, this mixed-material buffet introduces a modern touch to your dining room.

While this buffet isn’t the first two-tone piece we discussed, how it displays the duality of colors makes this sideboard ultra-unique. Black shelves form a striking line directly down the side, providing a dramatic contrast to whatever stain you may choose. More subtle design touches include the decorative beams that taper toward the bottom and the two divergent styles of handles.

This sideboard offers more than its share of unique touches, from the carved slats in the beams that frame the body to the outward jutting door fronts. However, its true value lies in its diverse organizational capabilities, from the central open shelf and bottle holders to the adjustable shelves and drawers.

As the name implies, the Cabrillo Mission Sideboard exhibits all the earmarks of Mission tastes, from the straight lines and crisp corners to the pattern of the mullions and delicate bottom accent. This sideboard stands out amongst the other options due to its angled sides and built-in features like LED lighting and glass shelving.

Crafted with precision, the Rowlett Buffet is the ideal addition to your contemporary dining room. The unique buffet boasts unwavering lines, flush doors, and a sharp two-tone look that effortlessly elevates a modern aesthetic. Order it in fresh white, au natural wood tones, Venezuela Chocolate . . . or any combination of colors you want to achieve a truly unique and modern look.

The final solid wood buffet we spotlight is one that straddles the line between French Country and contemporary, resulting in a unique aesthetic that’s hard to find. The undulating silhouette adds both elegance and playfulness to the look, which is completed by beveled glass doors and interior LED lighting. If you’re a fan of this look, you can pair the buffet with similarly styled buffets with narrower dimensions and larger china hutches.
