Q: What is a credenza?
A: A credenza is a piece of furniture with no legs that features sliding doors open to allow space for storing dishware and other dining essentials. They are cabinet-style pieces, and their long and low design permits them to double as a serving surface. While they are predominantly found in dining rooms and kitchens, credenzas also can be found in offices or entryways.
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 broad, shallow piece. 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 various 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 often are used as a secondary workspace for storing and organizing files and other office items. Credenza desks are frequently used as a primary workspace for smaller and home offices thanks to their storage compartments.
Q: What were antique buffets used for?
A: Antique buffets were used initially to store dishes, flatware, and other entertaining pieces. Antique buffets often have small drawers for storing flatware and smaller items and large cabinets below to hold dishes and other oversized items. Depending on the style of the buffet, the large cabinets will sometimes contain shelving. Antique buffets most frequently were 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.
