The shape
The Eversley is a straightforward rectangle made interesting by its fronts. Every drawer and door carries a herringbone-effect pattern, the wood grain meeting in a chevron, and with no handles on the front the pattern runs uninterrupted from one end to the other. It sits on a raised frame with tapered outer legs and a discreet centre support, which lifts it off the floor and keeps it from looking heavy.
The storage
This is the sideboard for people who like things sorted. Three drawers across the top take cutlery, napkins, candles, chargers and paperwork. Below, three cupboard doors open onto three bays, each with a shelf, making six compartments for plates, bowls, glasses and serving dishes. Drawers and doors open with a recessed finger-pull channel rather than handles.
Two finishes
Oak is a pale oak effect that keeps the herringbone soft and light, and suits a bright room or a Scandi scheme. Walnut is a rich brown wood effect where the chevron reads more strongly, warmer and a touch more formal, and it looks good against a green or deep-coloured wall, as in the photographs.
Where it works
The product pages suggest a dining room, a living room or a hallway. At about 119cm wide it sits between our 80cm and 160cm sideboards, enough for a dining room's everyday tableware on a wall that will not take a long cabinet, and at 39.8cm deep it keeps a walkway clear.
Assembly and care
It arrives for full assembly, and the supplier recommends two people. Anti-tip brackets are supplied; use fixings suitable for your wall. Clean it with a lightly damp cloth, then wipe it dry.
Other sideboards
The Caldermere is longer, at 160cm, with sliding tambour doors. The Berwick and Wetherby are compact 80cm cabinets. Our guide to choosing a sideboard sets all four side by side.
