The gentle curve of the front of this sideboard gives grace and air to what is essentially a substantial piece of furniture. The shallow depth of each end makes this piece the perfect choice for a narrow hallway or room in which space is at a premium. The grain of the wood is left exposed to add to the aesthetic qualities of this piece. It would detract from the appearance if varnish or seal were added to the wood, so we recommend that you treat it with care and avoid any exposure to liquid by using coasters and placemats where necessary.
