Q: What is a credenza?
A: A credenza is a piece of furniture with no legs that features sliding doors that open to allow space for storing dishware and other dining essentials. They are a cabinet-style piece, and their long and low design permits them to double as a serving surface. While they predominantly are found in dining rooms and kitchens, credenzas can also be found in offices or entryways in homes.
Q: What is the difference between a credenza and a console?
A: While a credenza is a long, low piece of cabinet-style furniture with sliding doors, a console is a wide, shallow piece of furniture. A console’s storage space is usually open rather than behind sliding doors, but can often feature drawers for storing small items. They are often as tall as regular tables and are found in a range of heights. Consoles are frequently used behind couches and sofas but are referred to as sofa tables in this capacity.
Q: What is a credenza desk used for?
A: Credenza desks have multiple uses. In offices, they are often used as a secondary workspace for storing and organizing files and other office items. For smaller offices and home offices, credenza desks are frequently used as a primary workspace thanks to their storage compartments.
Q: What were antique buffets used for?
A: Antique buffets originally were used to store dishes, flatware, and other entertaining pieces. Antique buffets often have small drawers for storing flatware and smaller items, in addition to large cabinets below to hold dishes and other larger items. Depending on the style of the buffet, the large cabinets will sometimes contain shelving. Antique buffets were most frequently found within dining rooms to keep dishes and flatware close for future use. They are very similar to credenzas, but buffets feature longer legs than credenzas.
