The sideboard collection
A raised walnut-effect cabinet with two framed doors of open vertical slats, slim gold-tone bar handles and four tapered solid-wood legs. The slats give a glimpse of what is inside, and at 80cm wide it fits where a longer sideboard will not.

The Wetherby is a mid-century cabinet on tall legs. Its two doors are framed panels of open vertical slats, each with a slim gold-tone bar handle, and it stands on four tapered solid-wood legs that lift it well off the floor. At 88.4cm high it is the tallest of our sideboards, so its top sits closer to hand height and makes a natural landing spot.
Behind the slatted doors is one open cupboard with no central divider, which makes it easy to fit wide things such as serving platters or a stack of placemats. A full-width shelf splits it into two levels; it moves between three heights, or lifts out for taller items. Because the slats are open, the inside shows a little, which suits neatly stacked tableware, books or baskets better than clutter.
The Wetherby comes in walnut effect only: a rich brown grain that sets off the gold handles. It looks warm against a green or cream wall, as the photographs show, and sits comfortably beside timber floors and other walnut-effect pieces.
The product page suggests a dining room, a living room or a hallway. Its 80cm width suits an alcove or a short stretch of wall, and its height makes it a good spot for a table lamp or a drinks tray. For a longer run, two cabinets bought separately sit side by side, as in one of the photographs. An anti-tip device comes with it, to fit as the assembly instructions describe.
Wipe it with a soft, lightly damp cloth and dry it. A soft brush reaches between the slats.
The Berwick is the same width with solid fluted doors and comes in oak or walnut. For more storage, the Eversley is 119cm wide with drawers, and the Caldermere is 160cm. Our guide to choosing a sideboard sets all four side by side.
The details
Height includes the legs. Sold individually: each purchase is one cabinet. Accessories are not included.
80cm wide, 39.9cm deep and 88.4cm high including the legs.
A little. The doors are framed with open vertical slats, so they give a glimpse of the storage behind them. Anything you would rather hide completely suits a solid-door sideboard such as the Berwick better.
One. Some photographs show two side by side to illustrate a longer arrangement; that is two cabinets bought separately.
No. The case is engineered wood in a decorative walnut-effect finish. The four legs are solid wood.
