Never heard that word?

[Zacs-Master]

You mean a sideboard?

[MadMen]

Sorry, that didn't make much sense. I meant never heard that before.

[friedgreentomato]

no we have cupboards, credenzas are from the 70's

[Tilly2]

What do you call the stockroom now?

[MadMen]

Is it the same as a stationary cupboard?

If so, I've got a story about one of those....

[tamborine]

[jake-the-peg]

We have a what now?

You sure your co-workers didn't crate you up for a prank when you dozed off and ship you to Spain for a prank?

Look around you - do you see a lot of donkeys and people in big hats?

[Tilly2]

I will resist talking about mobile cupboards!

[Mosaic]

Doesn't credenza work on Time Team?

[FredPuli43]

In an office? What is it, an antique dealer's? A credenza is a sideboard, no legs, rounded ends, fitted with a cupboard in the middle and shelves, generally behind gazed doors, at the ends. They are late Victorian or Edwardian in Britain

[Zacs-Master]

OK, to be serious. It's a well recognised term in the contract furniture industry.

[ToraToraTora]

Official internal emails refer to credenzas, I looked it up and found it meant sideboard/cupboard. It seems to be the fashionable thing round here.

[Octavius]

We use it all the time zacs, a sideboard is something my nan has.

[Zacs-Master]

Good for you octopus

[leahbee]

Madmen, Can I guess that your story is about avoiding the stationery cupboard when the boss was around?

[ludwig]

So that's what the guy meant when I asked him where I should put the stapler.

[MadMen]

Nope. I once set fire to a stationary cupboard and blamed it on someone else.

[MadMen]

"a sideboard is something my nan has."

I have a sideboard.... :-(
