If you’re looking for a sideboard, you’ve probably found that they can be quite expensive. But, if you’re on a budget, there are ways to find quality pieces without breaking the bank. When I’ve been looking in person, I always run my hand over the top and edges, you can quickly feel if the finish is going to mark easily.
Buying a sideboard is all about finding the right piece at the right price. It’s about making sure it fits in with your space and style, and that it will last for years to come. One thing I’ve found is that some cheaper flat-pack sideboards can wobble a bit unless you take your time with the build and get them properly level.
But how do you know what to look for? What should it look like? How much should you spend? Take a look at the sideboards below for a good spread of available options on the market. Just bear in mind that a lot of budget options use thinner backs and drawer bases, so they can feel a bit flimsy if you load them up with heavier stuff.
