The glazed top protects the contents from dust, it is easy to care for such furniture. Initially, this furniture was made only from expensive wood, the legs were curved, with patterns. Shelves with glass were divided into sectors, and various kitchen utensils were stored in the lower chest of drawers. Today, the design of the product can be very diverse, from luxurious patterned walls of the classics to straight lines of minimalism.
The concept of “buffet” and “sideboard” are similar, but there is a small difference. The upper part of the latter is always closed by doors with glass, in the buffet the upper parts can remain open.
