### Difference Between a Sideboard & a Buffet

A buffet is similar to a sideboard but is usually larger. Both buffets and sideboards are large, decorative table-like pieces outfitted with cabinet-like doors and/or storage drawers. They are often placed in dining rooms to store dishes and serve food. An IKEA sideboard gives you plenty of space to stow items and a surface to create an attractive display or to unload serving dishes while you dine.
