Description

Medium Oak Sideboard: Solid Wood Storage That Lasts

This is a medium oak sideboard.

It is heavy, thick, and if you try to move it on your own, you will probably hurt your back. Get someone to help you carry it.

We built it from solid oak and real oak veneer because that is what lasts.

It does not look perfect. Wood has knots, grain patterns, and colour variations. If you want a sterile, uniform surface that looks like it came off a factory press, go buy cheap laminate.

This unit comes pre-assembled. That means we did the hard work of gluing and screwing the joints together in our workshop, so you do not have to spend your Saturday afternoon arguing over an Allen key.

It has drawers and cupboards. They hold things. It is as simple as that.

The finish is a warm, natural stain. It will scratch if you drag keys across it, but a bit of wax now and then keeps it going. It is built to survive kids, dogs, and general life.

If this unit is too big for your space, look at our hallway furniture, or check out our kitchen storage for other cupboard options.

How It Compares

“It turned up fully built and weighs an absolute ton. Took two of us to get it into the dining room, but it feels like it will outlive me. Nice honest bit of wood.”

Common Questions

How do I clean this sideboard?
Wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemical sprays or supermarket polish that leaves a sticky build-up. A simple clear wax once or twice a year is plenty.

How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery takes up to five business days. We will send you tracking details so you can see where it is.

Can I put hot plates directly on the wood?
No. It will leave white rings in the finish. Use a mat or a coaster unless you want to spend your weekend sanding it down.

Do the drawers have metal runners?
No, they run on traditional wooden runners. They might stick slightly if your house gets very damp, but a bit of candle wax rubbed on the runners fixes that in seconds.

Does it come in one piece?
Yes, it is pre-assembled. Do not try to take it apart because you will ruin it.

Pre-Purchase Questions

Is a 155cm sideboard too big for a tight space?
Get your tape measure out and check. Do not guess. You need room to open the doors and drawers fully without hitting other furniture.

Why does the wood grain look different to the photo?
Because it is real wood. Every tree grows differently, so the grain patterns and knots will never be identical to the picture.

Is a fully assembled oak sideboard sturdier than flat-pack?
Yes, because we glue and dowel the joints in the workshop. It does not wobble or lean like cheap self-assembly units do after a year.

Will the colour fade in the sun?
Yes, all wood changes colour if you leave it in direct sunlight next to a window. Rotate your ornaments occasionally so you do not get dark spots.

Troubleshooting & Styling Questions

How do I mix this medium oak sideboard with lighter wood floors?
Do not worry about matching everything perfectly. Different wood tones look fine together as long as you have a simple rug to break up the space between the floor and the unit.

How can I make a large sideboard fit visually in a small room?
Keep the top clear of clutter. A single lamp or a simple bowl is enough, otherwise the whole room will start to feel crowded.

How do I fix a scratch on the finish myself?
Rub a little bit of medium oak wax polish into the scratch with a soft cloth. It will not disappear completely, but it blends it in so you will barely notice it.
