I just received my custom order curio cabinet this morning and it is exquisite! Excellent quality, beautiful detail, and simply beautiful. It takes a little time to have a custom piece made, but it was well worth the wait to get exactly what you want and excellent quality for no more than you'd pay at many mass market furniture chains.

Buffets and Sideboards Collection
Create a dining room for entertaining guests that evokes refinement, beauty, and taste by adding a Laurel Crown sideboard. Buffets and sideboards have been popular home decorative and functional staples since the 19th century when families began devoting entire rooms solely to dining. Since then, they have remained a way to showcase an appreciation for beauty. A good dining room buffet is both beautiful and practical. The drawers and cabinets can be used to store necessities such as china, dishes, linens, and silverware. Use the top of the unit as a convenient serving station to allow for more table room.
When you have a large family and an even larger circle of friends, many of us adore spending time with them, entertaining them, and, in many cases—cooking comforting and delectable meals for them. Many of us also dream of having a dining room that evokes personality, refinement, and beauty while welcoming all with undeniable charm and warmth.

FAQ:
Q: What were antique buffets used for?
A: Originally, antique buffets were used to store dishes, flatware, and pieces only used for special occasions. They are still used today for decorative purposes to hold décors such as vases and collectible china.
Q: What's the difference between a buffet and a sideboard?
A: The two are the same. The terms buffet and sideboard are used interchangeably.
Q: Does the sideboard have to match the table?
A: There are no rules when it comes to home décor. If you want to create antique sideboards and tables that match perfectly, you most certainly can. However, if you are looking for an antique reproduction sideboard and don't want to match the rest of your furniture, it doesn't have to. Mixing and matching furniture has been done for decades and will continue to be done.
Q: What were sideboards used for?
A: Sideboards, known by their other name, buffets, were used to store dishes, flatware, and other pieces of fine china, and party pieces were only used occasionally. Today, they are used for that purpose, working as coffee or wine bars and holding home décor.

I contracted Laurel Crown to make 2 custom arm chairs to match my wife's set of antique balloon back dining room chairs. I sent cell phone pictures and then measurements that they requested with a detailed drawing. From this info they made my chairs. You would have to look very closely to realize that these chairs were not part of the set! I was quite frankly surprised that they matched so well and am very pleased with the result. Companies like this are hard to find these days.

Service that I was given was Superb . I wanted solid wood tables but I needed them a little larger than the standard length. I was notified when changes happened regarding my order. This company has the best customer service that I have ever been involved with when it comes to purchasing furniture. Trust me you will be blown away by their impeccable, top notch quality and service. Three words Awesome Awesome Awesome!

I usually don't write reviews since I purchase so many items/furniture for my job online. However, this company gave such great customer service I thought it was important to share. I needed two Chippendale Chairs in a very short amount of time. When I called I did not expect they could meet this demand. Laurence was so wonderful on the phone, he said he would call me back after double checking to see if it was possible. He called me within 15 mins and said they could meet my deadline. Every question I had he answered quickly and alleviated any worries I had; He even remembered my name when I called back. You rarely find customer service that goes above and beyond! The chairs arrived on time and were packed very well and constructed nicely. I plan on using this company in the future and would recommend them to my friends. What a wonderful experience! Thank you Laurel Crown :)

We received our Mahogany Pedestal Dining Table at our vacation house this past week and it is absolutely beautiful! The quality of the wood is outstanding, the construction is world class and the finish is lovely. And, the price of the table coupled with the quality is a true value. Thank you once more for your excellent communications, great service and timely delivery. We plan on buying more pieces in the future!
