Know before you buy
The credenza measures 71 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 30.5 inches high. It is a substantial piece, so ensure you have enough clearance in your hallway or room for the 71-inch width.
The two cabinets feature adjustable shelving, allowing you to customize the interior height to accommodate taller items like vases or larger stacks of dinnerware. This makes the storage versatile enough to transition from a media console to a dining room sideboard.
Yes, the buffalo leather pulls are designed for durability and provide a tactile, high-end finish to the piece. While they offer a soft grip, they are securely fastened to withstand the daily opening and closing of the doors.
The Envelo Credenza typically arrives with the main body pre-assembled, though you will need to attach the tapered steel legs. It is recommended to have two people available to help flip the unit upright once the legs are secured.
To maintain the finish, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polish. If a spill occurs, wipe it up immediately with a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly to prevent moisture damage to the veneer.
