What is a good height for a sideboard?

The standard height for a sideboard is around 34 to 36 inches (86–91 cm).
This makes it roughly the same height as a dining table, which is practical since sideboards are often used in dining rooms for serving food, storing tableware, or displaying decor.

• Dining room sideboards: 34–36 inches high to align with dining tables.
• Living room or hallway sideboards: Can range from 30–40 inches, depending on style and storage needs.
• Modern designs: Sometimes slightly taller, especially if used as a statement piece or for extra storage.

Rule of thumb: A sideboard should feel proportionate to the room and nearby furniture. Too low, and it won’t be functional; too high, and it may look bulky.
