Timber Buffet with Rattan Doors: Prices and Dimensions

A timber buffet with rattan doors can bring warm texture to a room, but its scale and storage matter just as much as its finish. A listed example measures 163 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 75 cm high; prices vary with factors such as materials, dimensions and storage configuration. The right fit depends on how much you need to store and the space available.

Choosing a timber buffet with rattan doors means balancing appearance with everyday function. Compare the dimensions, storage layout and materials, then consider how the piece will fit your room and routine. This guide explains what to look for, from door count and interior shelving to the difference between buffets and sideboards, so you can make a practical, well-informed choice.

Product dimensions

A timber buffet with rattan doors needs room to open, not just space for its frame. The Siena Rattan Buffet measures 163 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 75 cm high. Its proportions can help you judge how a similar piece may sit against a wall, beneath artwork or beside a dining table. Measure the available floor area before choosing a width.

For placement, mark the proposed footprint with masking tape. Then open nearby doors and drawers to make sure they won’t meet the buffet. Allow a clear path past the furniture, especially in a dining area where chairs move. A 40 cm depth still projects into the room, so compare it with the walking space around your table.

The Siena’s listed shipping dimensions are 167 × 44 × 79 cm. These measurements are larger than the assembled piece, so consider the entry route as well as the final position. Check the tightest doorway, hallway turn and stairwell on the way to the room. The buffet weighs 23 kg, while its listed shipping weight is 25 kg.

For everyday care, dust timber with a soft cloth and gently clean rattan with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid soaking woven areas, and dry damp spots promptly. Keep rattan sheltered from direct sunlight and the elements, which can cause drying, discolouration, tears and breakage.

The Siena Rattan Buffet is handmade from natural materials, so individual pieces may vary in colour, design, size and finish. Its 163 cm width is a useful guide, while those natural variations give each piece its own character. The buffet comes fully assembled, which means measuring the delivery route matters before it arrives.

Rattan can be used outdoors in undercover areas, but keep it protected from direct sun and the elements. If it becomes dry, apply linseed oil with a brush, wipe with a soft cloth, then allow it to dry before use. These steps help preserve its texture and finish.

Product prices

Compare timber and rattan buffets by construction, dimensions and storage, not appearance alone. Door count, width, height and depth affect the materials and work involved. Rattan weaving, timber species, hardware and finish also contribute to differences between designs. These details help explain why pieces in a similar natural palette may have different prices.

For a useful comparison, note each piece’s materials and door count. Check whether timber forms the main structure or is used as a surface finish over another core. Then compare dimensions and storage layout. A wider, four-door buffet may offer more enclosed storage than a compact two-door design, but it also takes up more floor space. Compare similar constructions before weighing the price.

Solid timber uses wood throughout its components, while veneer is a thin timber layer over a core. Depending on its construction and finish, solid timber may be refinished; veneer care and repair depend on its surface layer and underlying material. Price reflects materials, construction and finishing, so compare the build rather than assuming the same price relationship applies to every buffet.

• Materials: Look for clear descriptions of timber, rattan and the supporting structure.
• Configuration: Compare two-, three- and four-door layouts for useful storage.
• Finish: Consider how the finish suits your household’s everyday use and care routine.
• Scale: Match width and depth to your room before comparing similar designs.

Write down those details for each piece, then compare the overall value against your storage needs and room dimensions. For a visual comparison of forms and finishes, explore buffet designs as you refine your shortlist.

These examples compare prices across door counts and named designs. Check the materials and dimensions of each item before deciding which is the best fit.

Sideboard storage options

Door count offers a quick guide to how storage is divided, but shelf layout determines how the interior works. The Siena Rattan Buffet has three doors and one fixed interior mid-shelf. Because the shelf cannot be adjusted, consider the height of the items you plan to store. Shorter pieces can be grouped together, while taller objects may need a different arrangement.

Start with a simple inventory. List what you want close to the dining or living area, such as serving bowls, table linens or board games. Note which items are bulky, tall or used together, then compare their shapes with the compartments. This helps you judge whether a fixed shelf creates useful zones or limits how you can organise your belongings.

• Three doors: Consider how separate sections could group dining pieces, linens and occasional-use items.
• One fixed shelf: Account for the shelf position when assessing taller objects.
• Open access: Think about which items you’ll reach for often and where they’ll sit.
• Item weight: The Siena Rattan Buffet isn’t intended for heavy items, so reserve it for lighter belongings.

Rattan doors add a woven surface to the front, while enclosed compartments keep stored objects out of sight. For a calm, orderly interior, group frequently used pieces together and keep occasional-use items in a separate section. Don’t force oversized objects into a compartment: the door should close without pressing against its contents.

Match the storage arrangement to your routine, not just the number of doors. A three-door buffet such as the Siena may suit grouped, lighter items, while its fixed shelf makes vertical clearance important. Compare your inventory with the interior layout, and rule out items that are too heavy or tall. This simple check helps ensure the buffet works as intended without making storage a squeeze.

Sideboards and buffets

In Australian furniture listings, “buffet” and “sideboard” can describe similar storage furniture. Compare construction, proportions and intended use rather than relying on the label alone. The Siena Rattan Buffet, for example, has a natural rattan frame and intricate weaving across its sides and front. The woven surface adds texture, while the cabinet form provides concealed storage.

Material descriptions help distinguish a timber buffet with rattan doors from pieces that use rattan differently. The Siena uses rattan and woven sheeting on its sides, front and top. Read the construction details to identify which parts are timber, rattan or another material. Door fronts, sides and tops may have different finishes, so appearance alone won’t identify the timber species.

There’s no single timber species used in every buffet with rattan doors. Materials and construction vary by design, so refer to the named materials in each product description rather than inferring a species from the woven detail. A listing that describes a natural rattan frame identifies the rattan, not a particular timber species.

Delivery, assembly and return arrangements vary by retailer and item. Before ordering, compare the stated delivery scope, assembly requirements and return conditions. The Siena Rattan Buffet comes fully assembled, so it requires no furniture assembly at home. Still, consider the route from your entrance to the room and the space needed to position it.

• Compare the build: Identify the materials used across the frame, doors, sides and top.
• Assess the form: Judge the cabinet’s storage and proportions, not its “buffet” or “sideboard” label.
• Read the purchase terms: Review delivery, assembly and return details for the specific item.

Once you know which materials and details suit your room, explore buffet and cabinet designs to compare the look and function of available pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do timber buffets with rattan doors cost in Australia?

Prices vary with materials, construction, size and storage configuration, so compare pieces with similar specifications. A wider buffet or more intricate timber and rattan detailing may cost more than a simpler design. Consider the listed materials and finish alongside the door layout and overall construction. When reviewing a retailer’s current listing, distinguish sale pricing from regular pricing.

What are the dimensions and storage capacity of popular rattan-door buffets?

Dimensions and storage capacity depend on the design, so consider product measurements and interior layout together. External width and depth show how a buffet fits your room, while shelf spacing and compartment height determine what fits inside. Measure your largest intended items, such as serving platters, before choosing. Also allow for door swing and access around the furniture, not just its footprint when closed.

What should I check when buying a buffet with natural rattan doors?

Inspect the weave for loose strands, uneven tension or rough edges that could catch on nearby fabric. Check that each door sits properly in its frame and that the hinges open smoothly. Look for a consistent timber finish across visible surfaces, then review the product description for material details. Before ordering, compare the delivery route, assembly information and return conditions with your practical needs.
