Sideboard

   

A sideboard is an item of furniture traditionally used for both storage and display. It usually consists of a set of cupboards with a flat display surface on top, approximately at waist height.

Originally, as indicated by its name, a sideboard would have been used for serving food, but it came to be a household object found in a living room, where items such as books or ornaments might be found. It is now almost obsolete.
