MELINA Sideboard

Great piece for the price

James, scarborough, Ontario

I was at first a bit apprehensive about this piece, simply because the show room version we saw as well as the photos of it online frequently showed it to have crooked doors (if you're looking at pictures of the teak one on this website, look at the left door).

Fortunately that turns out to simply be a result from assembly error, if you're careful to install the door brackets straight, and then you shim the doors with some thin cardboard when you install them onto the cabinets, it's not difficult to get them perfectly straight. The hinges also have ...

Fortunately that turns out to simply be a result from assembly error, if you're careful to install the door brackets straight, and then you shim the doors with some thin cardboard when you install them onto the cabinets, it's not difficult to get them perfectly straight. The hinges also have some degree of adjustment for fine tuning to to make sure the doors are evenly flush.

My only criticism is that there is a center support that is not pictured here, a black steel foot that goes right in the middle of the sideboard that I wish was a bit sturdier. I assembled this on a rug and then lifted and positioned it in place, and the steel center support dragged on the carpet a bit and actually got tugged out enough that it became loose, largely because the bracket that screws into the sideboard is quite small and only has two screws longitudinally, so if you push it backwards or pull it forwards you'll most certainly rip the thing out. On top of which, it's kinda ugly. Perhaps you won't need it if you don't load the sideboard up with heavy stuff.

Perfect for Records

Courtney, Edmonton, Alberta

We bought the Melina in Natural, and it is absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad I picked it. We have some framed posters on it with our record player and records inside and it's perfect. I put it together myself and it was pretty straightforward, but two people would have made it much easier. The Melina goes with our mid-century modern house and looks so good. I'm so happy.

Perfect mid-century sideboard

Jenn, Saint John, New Brunswick

The Melina sideboard is a classic piece that pairs nicely with art or a mirror. It is great for living room storage space if you don't have any built in storage or closets. I purchased in the teak finish, and have it paired with a circular mirror. It looks great!

Quality and style

Audrey M, Ottawa, Ontario

Simple lines and a sleek style, easy to assemble. I ordered the teak finish. It blends in well with other wood pieces in the room, while it also makes quite a statement on its own. Roomy storage capacity.
