Buffet Review
Buffets are oftentimes boxy and blah, but your 3LUXE team has uncovered three exceptional “Best Ofs” that will wake up your dining room, giving it style and panache—even though you might think all you need is somewhere to stow linens and stash the flatware. True, there are only two requirements for this very functional furnishing. It has to have a long, flat expanse on top so you can serve from it or display your prized serving pieces. And it should have spacious storage underneath for all your other dining implements. But check out our winners here, and you’ll be amazed at how great “flat and spacious” can look.
