A buffet is typically a lower, longer cabinet designed for serving food during meals and usually lives against a wall. A sideboard is similar in form but is often used more broadly for storage and display. A server is generally a smaller, taller piece used specifically to hold serving dishes, glassware, or linens close to the dining table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size sideboard or buffet should I buy for my dining room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good rule of thumb is to choose a sideboard or buffet that is no wider than your dining table — ideally within 6 to 12 inches narrower on each side. For height, most standard sideboards range from 30 to 36 inches tall, which works well beneath wall art or a mirror. Always measure your available wall space and leave at least 36 inches of clearance for comfortable movement around the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Alfa Home Furniture offer free shipping on sideboards and buffets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes!
