Dimensions and Key Features
Why choose the Furniture of America Elana Hutch & Buffet?
The Furniture of America Elana brings classic dining room elegance and organized storage together in a richly finished Brown Cherry cabinet. Its arched crown, intricate carvings and glass-front hutch create an attractive display for fine china, glassware and treasured collectibles. Two glass shelves provide elevated display space, while the lower buffet offers concealed storage for serving essentials and table linens. At 48 inches wide and 18 inches deep, Elana makes effective use of vertical space without requiring an exceptionally wide wall. Available as CM3212HB-SET at VBU Furniture, this traditional hutch and buffet complements formal dining rooms and coordinated Brown Cherry furniture collections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Elana Hutch & Buffet include both cabinets, and what can you store inside?
Yes. The Elana Hutch & Buffet (CM3212HB-SET) includes both the upper glass-front display hutch and the lower storage buffet. The upper section features two glass shelves for displaying china, decorative glassware and collectibles. The lower buffet provides enclosed cabinet storage and drawers for dining accessories, linens and serving essentials. This arrangement separates items you want to display from belongings you prefer to keep out of sight. Unlike a conventional low buffet, Elana also uses vertical wall space for decorative storage. The sideboard vs. buffet vs. credenza comparison explains how these storage designs serve different dining room needs.
Will the 87-inch-tall Elana Hutch & Buffet fit in my dining room?
The Elana measures 48 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 87 inches high, making it a tall display cabinet with a relatively compact footprint. Its 7-foot-3-inch height requires careful consideration of ceiling clearance, crown moulding and overhead light fixtures. Allow additional space in front for opening the glass doors, accessing the buffet cabinets and using the drawers. The separate hutch and buffet sections also need a suitable delivery and assembly area. VBU Furniture Lab's furniture size and room measurement guide helps evaluate cabinet dimensions, ceiling height and delivery access before purchasing.
Is the Elana Hutch & Buffet solid wood, and does it require assembly?
The Elana combines solid wood, wood veneer, glass and other construction materials. It is not made entirely of solid wood. Assembly is required because the upper hutch and lower buffet are packaged separately and must be connected. The two glass display shelves are installed after the main sections are secured. Two people are recommended for assembly, and the completed cabinet should be properly secured following the supplied safety instructions. When comparing traditional wood furniture, the solid wood vs. engineered wood furniture guide explains how veneers and different construction materials affect appearance, stability and maintenance.

VBU Fit & Function Analysis
Room Fit & Vertical Storage: At 48"W × 18"D × 87"H, the Elana uses height rather than excessive width to provide dining room storage. Its narrow footprint is useful for dining areas with limited wall length, although the 87-inch height requires adequate ceiling clearance. Check door swings, drawer access and the delivery route before choosing its location.
Display & Concealed Storage: The upper glass-front hutch is designed for displaying china, glassware and decorative collections, while the lower buffet keeps dining accessories and less decorative items concealed. Two glass shelves create separate display levels. This combination makes Elana more versatile than a cabinet designed exclusively for open display.
Construction & Installation: Elana combines solid wood, veneer and glass rather than relying entirely on solid lumber. The unit arrives in two sections that must be connected, followed by installation of the glass shelves. Its substantial 319-pound weight makes careful delivery planning, two-person installation and appropriate securing particularly important.
Brown Cherry & Traditional Design: The rich Brown Cherry finish, carved crown and decorative columns give Elana a formal, traditional character. It pairs naturally with patterned dining chair upholstery, warm neutral walls, classic area rugs and antique-inspired lighting. For a coordinated dining room, the Furniture of America Elana Dining Table Set provides matching Brown Cherry styling.
VBU Recommendation: Choose the Elana Hutch & Buffet (CM3212HB-SET) when you want a traditional display cabinet that combines visible china storage with concealed dining essentials. It is particularly suitable for formal dining rooms and homes where holiday dinnerware or family keepsakes deserve a dedicated display. Measure ceiling and doorway clearance before ordering.
