Add Style to Your Living Room With Vintage Sideboards

Retro sideboards add style and class to living rooms. Vintage sideboards come in appealing shades that suit any decor that you have, from a rusty traditional look to luxurious conventional styles. You can find sideboards that suit your needs on eBay listings.

Are used vintage walnut sideboards durable?

Yes. Used vintage sideboards are made with materials like particleboard, metal, and MDF, which are durable. Industrial style sideboards will easily match your converted loft or any other living space.

Are flip-down compartments included on small retro sideboards?

Yes. If you like the feel of flip-down compartments, you will find them on small, medium, and large sideboards. Ensure that you measure the space where you plan to use the sideboard, so it does not look too small in your living room. Several options on eBay have three flip-down compartments that offer additional storage space. They have chalkboard door inserts that make it easy to label your compartments, so you can stay organised. Some designs also feature stemware racks, which are elegantly angled for easy access.

Sideboards with single drawers

To preserve the design, many retro sideboards with angled tops have a single drawer. This allows viewing the contents, and fine wood artistry of the drawers while making it easy to secure small items. Drawers may be placed on metal glides, so they are easy to open and close. Drawers are often complemented by open shelves, and their number varies according to the size of the unit. Some have two interior shelves placed behind the doors. Check the manufacturer’s site for the details.

Sideboard varieties for every preference

Many people enjoy the look of miniatures, and vendors on eBay have several sideboards which are less than 30 inches high. When paired with their vintage design, they look almost like toys and will make an excellent focal point. If you prefer larger units for display or storage, there are options on eBay in appealing shades like dusty green, vanilla bean, and honey oak. With as many as five closed sections, these may also have open shelves, which allow you to display and organise magazines, pottery, and your favourite jars. You also benefit from the following additional features :

  • Wood is complemented by brass metal handles that are easy to grip.
  • Some may be constructed using Asian hardwood, or exotic fruitwood.
  • These heavy units may have a flat base or sturdy legs, which give them a high level of stability.
