I was surprised at how solidly built and versatile this sideboard was. I know that they are traditionally used in a kitchen like a buffet, but we decided to give this a try in a bedroom to replace a dresser with shelving for storing clothes. It works great, has a lower profile against the wall than the dresser it replaced and stores the same amount of clothing. We were impressed. I love the casual design that works well with the modern look of the rest of our decor. Much more sturdy than anticipated.
