Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right size buffet?
- The Right Proportion: Long buffets are ideal for large rooms that need extra storage. The rules about table size do not apply.
- Clearance: Leave at least 30 inches of open space in front for people to walk and pull out chairs comfortably.
Do finishes vary from piece to piece?
Our finishes are hand-carved and painted or stained by skilled artisans, so slight variations are to be expected in our buffets and sideboards.
Pro Tip: Create visual interest by decorating your long buffet with varying textures, like wood, glass, and ceramics, and group items in odd numbers and different heights. Candleholders can anchor the piece with a large mirror or artwork in the center, and complementary decor around it.
