Know before you buy
The Not Riddled buffet utilizes an innovative structural design that allows the doors to operate smoothly without the need for visible mechanical hinges, maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
The standard version stands at 26 inches, which is ideal for a low-profile look, while the higher option reaches 38.5 inches, providing a more traditional sideboard height that is better suited for serving or display.
The internal tempered glass shelves are designed to provide a sleek, transparent storage solution, but they are fixed in place to maintain the structural integrity of the piece.
Yes, assembly is required for this piece. Given the precision of the design and the solid wood construction, we recommend having two people assist with the setup to ensure the frame and doors are aligned correctly.
For the walnut exterior, use a soft, dry cloth to dust regularly and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For the matte or glossy lacquer frame, a slightly damp microfiber cloth is sufficient to remove fingerprints and maintain the finish's luster.
