The five sideboards differ most in width, and the widest is also the tallest. Measure the wall first, then compare the heights and depths below.
Sideboard | Width (cm) | Depth (cm) | Height (cm) | Legs | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Finn Sideboard | 90 | 44 | 71.5 | Powder-coated carbon steel | 44 |
Junior Sideboard | 120 | 46 | 70 | Walnut veneer | 73 |
Lucas Sideboard | 140 | 40 | 80 | Walnut, on a solid walnut base frame | 96 |
Borge Sideboard | 160 | 40 | 68 | White oak veneer | 57.5 |
Finn Juhl Sideboard | 196 | 45 | 90 | Powder-coated carbon steel | 50 |
Four of the five stand between 68 and 80 cm high. The Finn Juhl Sideboard is the exception at 90 cm, 10 cm taller than the next, so it suits a wall where the top will be used for display. It is also more than twice the width of the Finn Sideboard, the compact choice at 90 cm.
Depth varies by only 6 cm. The Lucas and Borge Sideboards are the shallowest at 40 cm, which helps where floor space is tight.
Weight does not follow width. The Lucas Sideboard is the heaviest at 96 kg, almost twice the Finn Juhl Sideboard, which is 56 cm wider. Check the weight if the piece has to go up stairs. For other storage, browse the storage collection, and for a lower piece under a television, the TV unit collection.
Three of the sideboards are walnut veneer. The Finn Juhl Sideboard is walnut veneer on powder-coated steel legs, in walnut or white versions. The Junior Sideboard is walnut veneer over plywood on a veneered wooden frame. The Lucas Sideboard is also walnut veneer over plywood, but it stands on a solid walnut base frame with a solid walnut shelf.
The Borge Sideboard is the only oak piece. It is white oak veneer throughout, legs included, and its specification gives its style as mid century.
The Finn Sideboard comes in two bodies, and the difference matters if you want real walnut. The ash version is solid American ash. The walnut version is hardwood with a walnut stain, so it has the colour of walnut but is not walnut. Each body comes with a black or white laminate top, which makes four combinations.
The Lucas Sideboard is the only one whose specification lists drawers: it has soft-close doors and drawers. The specifications of the other four do not describe their interiors. If you need a set number of drawers or shelves, check the description and images on each product page, or ask customer support before you order.
Most need very little. The Borge Sideboard and the Finn Sideboard need only their feet fitted, and the Finn Juhl Sideboard only its legs. The Junior Sideboard needs simple assembly, and an optional middle leg is included. The Lucas Sideboard is the exception: its specification says full assembly. Every specification lists the instructions as included.
Each specification lists delivery to the kerbside in export wooden crates, so plan how the piece will get indoors. The boxes are large: 202 cm long for the Finn Juhl Sideboard, 172 cm for the Borge Sideboard, 130 cm for the Lucas Sideboard and 102 cm for the Finn Sideboard. The Junior Sideboard comes in two boxes. Each product page shows its current lead time.
Each product page lists its own care line. The Borge, Finn Juhl and Finn Sideboards list a damp cloth and a cleaner. The Junior Sideboard lists dusting, and the Lucas Sideboard a vacuum and polish. As the care differs between designs, check the line on the product page for the sideboard you buy.
Three of the five list both commercial and residential use: the Borge Sideboard, the Finn Juhl Sideboard and the Finn Sideboard. The specifications of the Junior Sideboard and the Lucas Sideboard do not state a use. If you are furnishing an office, a reception or another commercial space, customer support can answer questions about a specific piece before you order.
The product titles credit the Finn Juhl Sideboard to Finn Juhl, and the Designers filter on this page lists one piece under his name. It is a reproduction: its product page states that the item is not manufactured by or affiliated with the original designer or associated parties. Customer support can answer questions about a specific sideboard before you order.
