Just because it's a sideboard, doesn't mean the dining room is the only place for this piece in your home! Would it look great in your dining room? Of course! But, this piece would look fantastic in an entry or even as a smaller tv stand in a tighter space. It is open, allowing you to display your favorite decor pieces and also has a couple cabinets for the items you'd like to tuck away. However you use it in your home, it will look perfect.
