Why choose a vintage lowboard?

Televisions are replaced every few years, but a teak lowboard lasts. It easily supports large screens, provides space for a receiver and console, and looks good even without a television. Many pieces have open backs or ventilation slots for routing cables.

Frequently asked questions about lowboards

How wide should a lowboard be for the television?

Wider than the screen, so the image looks balanced. The dimensions are listed for each piece.

Can an old lowboard support a large television?

Yes, solid wood and veneered panels from the 1950s to the 1970s support considerably more than modern televisions weigh.

Can I route cables through the lowboard?

Usually yes, many have open backs or ventilation slots. You can see whether this is the case for a particular piece in the photos of the back.

What is the difference between a lowboard and a sideboard?

The lowboard is lower, usually knee-high, while the sideboard is about hip-high.
