[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never heard anyone call it anything other than a credenza. The facilities people where I work call it a credenza. There is nothing pretentious about it. [/quote] The office supply people seem to have taken over the word "credenza" to mean "file cabinet with wood or melamine instead of metal." Not to be confused with "cadenza" which is a little musical interlude. My favorite is when furniture companies try to sell you a "bedroom suit." So while "credenza" might have worked in your grandparents' day for the thing in your dining room that you store the silver and placemats in, it's now a sideboard. [/quote]
