Kearny Buffet
Upon hearing the words “oak sideboard”, we envision the wood paired with a natural stain that brings out its warmer undertones. Yet, the Kearny Buffet challenges this expectation with its two-tone coloring, showcasing that there's more to explore. Though available in a full array of stains and paints, the Kearny Buffet's charm truly shines when the bottom displays opaque coloring while the top displays a natural stain. The key takeaway? Oak lends itself to a remarkably diverse array of paints and finishes. There’s no need to box yourself into traditional oak stains when ordering your sideboard, especially since Countryside Amish Furniture offers the convenience of sending requested samples directly to your doorstep!

FAQ About Solid Oak Buffets & Sideboards
What’s the difference between red oak and white oak
You’ll notice that most of our buffets and sideboards are offered in both red oak and white oak. So, what’s the difference between the two? For starters, the timber comes from two different species of trees! Red oak is known for its prominent grain pattern and a slightly reddish hue, lending a warm, traditional look to your furniture. White oak, on the other hand, features a finer grain and a lighter, more subtle color, perfect for both contemporary and classic aesthetics.
Is one oak species stronger than the other?
Both red oak and white oak are strong and durable hardwoods for a sideboard, but white oak is generally considered to be slightly denser and harder (and also pricier). However, the strength difference is minimal; we suggest ordering your chosen buffet in the oak species that best speaks to your personal style!
Not sure whether red or white oak is better for your chosen buffet? We can send multiple samples of both directly to your home! Use the chat to talk with a member of our team.
Should I try to match the stain of my oak sideboard to the rest of my furniture?
Staining your oak buffet the same color as the rest of your dining room can create a cohesive and harmonious look. Plus, we make it easy by sending multiple stain samples directly to your home so you can compare it to your current furniture.
However, contrasting stains can also add visual interest and highlight the buffet as a contemporary, unique statement piece. In short? There are no inflexible rules on how to decorate your personal space.
How should I care for and maintain my solid oak buffet to ensure its longevity?
To care for your solid oak buffet, regularly dust it with a soft, dry cloth to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; instead, use a gentle wood cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water for deeper cleaning. Additionally, protect the wood from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping and fading. For example, if you choose to have your oak buffet double as a refreshment station during a party, consider temporarily draping it with a folded tablecloth and/or placing trays underneath the beverages.
