Collection: Buffets & Sideboards

Dining Room Storage That Balances Function and Design

Buffets and sideboards should support the room without creating unnecessary visual weight. Stickley sideboards and buffets are designed to provide substantial storage while maintaining openness and architectural balance within the dining space.

Concealed storage helps keep serving materials organized and out of sight, and spacious surfaces allow for displaying accents and serving. Details like open shelving, tapered legs, and carefully proportioned cases help many buffets and sideboards feel lighter and more sophisticated despite their large storage capacity. This balance allows buffets and sideboards to contribute to the overall character of a dining room while still being useful for everyday serving.

Dining Storage: Materials and Hardwood 

Material selection plays a major role in the appearance and longevity of luxury buffets and sideboards. Every buffet and sideboard is crafted from premium hardwoods such as quartersawn white oak, walnut, cherry, and maple, which are all valued for both their durability and natural beauty.

Quartersawn white oak is especially known for its strength and distinctive grain pattern, making it closely associated with traditional Arts and Crafts furniture. Walnut wood brings deeper tones and a more modern appearance, while cherry and maple wood deliver rich grains that naturally deepen over time.

Natural variation in wood grain and hand-applied finishes give each piece a unique character. These materials are selected not only for their visual appeal, but also for their ability to maintain their strength and beauty through decades of everyday use.

Craftsmanship and Construction Features

Stickley sideboards and buffets are built with a focus on long-term durability, ample storage, and quality craftsmanship. Across the collection, time-honored woodworking techniques like mortise-and-tenon joinery and butterfly joinery help reinforce the structure of these pieces while highlighting the craftsmanship behind each.

Many designs also incorporate other useful construction details like side-hung, center-guided drawers, adjustable shelving, silverware trays, and premium liners. Decorative elements, including inlays, laser-cut fretwork, and hand-carved details, add visual depth to buffets and sideboards while maintaining balance.

Some contemporary pieces also introduce material contrasts and softer forms, including granite tops, woven textures, and rounded corners that bring a lighter and more modern feel to buffets and sideboards.

Recognized Excellence in Stickley Buffets and Sideboards

Stickley has been recognized in the industry for craftsmanship and quality construction. For the second year straight, Stickley was named the Best Luxury Furniture Company by Furniture Today readers, a network of furniture industry professionals nationwide. This recognition highlights the dedication of Stickley’s craftspeople and staff, who have upheld the brand’s 125-year reputation as a leader in luxury furniture. Stickley crafts every piece in the buffet and sideboard collection with that reputation in mind.

Stickley has also been awarded for specific pieces in its buffet and sideboard collection over the last few years, including the Portfolio120 Durant Sideboard and the Portfolio120 Welland Sideboard. This once again showcases the trust that the furniture industry places in Stickley’s craftsmanship.

Contemporary vs. Traditional Buffets and Sideboards

Stickley offers buffets and sideboards across a variety of styles, allowing these pieces to work naturally in traditional, transitional, and modern interiors. This variety allows Stickley buffets and sideboards to complement many different interiors while maintaining the same commitment to heirloom-quality craftsmanship, premium materials, and long-term durability across every collection.

Traditional Mission-inspired collections like Harvey Ellis, Surrey Hills, and Park Slope highlight the warmth and structure associated with historic American furniture-making. These pieces often feature quartersawn white oak wood, inlays, decorative joinery, and forms that create a strong presence within the dining room. 

Updated collections like Saranac, Martine, Walnut Grove, and Portfolio120 bring a more modern perspective. These pieces often have lighter visual profiles, softer silhouettes, cleaner lines, and balanced proportions.
