Caldermere160cm Fluted Sideboard with Sliding Doors

Our longest sideboard: a 160cm cabinet with rounded ends, a thin capsule-shaped top and closely spaced vertical tambour slats. Two sliding doors follow its curves to open four compartments, so it holds a dining room's worth of tableware without a door ever swinging into the room.

The shape

The Caldermere sideboard is the mid-century shape of our Caldermere console table, stretched to 160cm. Its ends are rounded rather than square, its top is a thin capsule shape, and its whole front is made of closely spaced vertical slats. Four outer wooden legs lift it 15cm off the floor, with a centre support underneath to carry the length.

Storage that slides

The two doors are tambours: narrow slats on a flexible backing that run along a track. They slide across the front and round the curved ends, so you can open either side, or both, without anything swinging into the room. That matters in a dining room, where a sideboard often sits behind the chairs. Inside, a central divider and two fixed shelves make four compartments, for plates and glasses, serving dishes, table linen and the everyday things that need a home.

Two finishes

Oak is a light oak-effect grain that keeps the room relaxed and bright, and pairs with natural timber and cream upholstery. Black is a matte black with a subtle wood-grain texture. The slats give it depth, and it looks sharpest against a pale or green wall, as in the photographs. Both have handles in a matching finish.

Where it works

The product pages suggest a dining room or a living room. At 160cm it wants a long wall, and at 45cm deep it is the deepest of our sideboards, so allow room to walk past it. Its 76cm top is close to dining-table height, which makes it an easy place to serve from. Anti-tip straps come with it; fix it to the wall with fixings that suit your wall.

Living with it

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, lightly damp cloth, and run a soft brush along the slats. Keep the door tracks free of grit and the doors will keep sliding smoothly.

Other sideboards

The Eversley is 119cm wide with three drawers and three doors, and the Berwick and Wetherby are 80cm. Our guide to choosing a sideboard sets all four side by side.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Caldermere sideboard?

160cm wide, 45cm deep and 76cm high, including legs of 15cm. Both finishes are the same size.

How does the storage work?

Two tambour doors slide along the front and round the curved ends, rather than swinging open. Behind them are four compartments: a central divider splits the cabinet in two, and a fixed shelf splits each side again.

Is there a matching console table?

Yes. The Caldermere console table is the same design at 100cm wide and 30cm deep, with two compartments, in oak, walnut or black.

What is it made of?

Engineered wood and MDF, in a decorative oak-effect finish or a matte black with a subtle wood-grain texture. It needs full assembly, and anti-tip straps are supplied; use fixings suitable for your wall.
