Hutches, Buffets and China Cabinets

Today, we are more focused on downsizing our possessions, but the need for a hutch, buffet or China cabinet has not become outdated or gone out of style. These are, in fact, still alive and well. These classic dining room furniture pieces offer plenty of storage, particularly for items that you don’t use every day, such as the family’s heirloom silverware, holiday dinnerware, table linens, and centerpieces.
