Franco Small Sideboard Review

What Are You Buying?

1. Modern-retro Sideboard

We really love the style and finish of the Franco sideboard. It combines traditional and modern elements, resulting in a beautiful, unique and versatile look.

The retro rattan-style natural cane doors immediately turn the sideboard into a statement piece. The rest of the sideboard has a modern smooth black finish that balances out the rattan doors. The Scandinavian legs tie everything together.

This mix of styles allows the Franco sideboard to blend with just about any kind of decor whether it is vintage, traditional, contemporary or Scandi.

2. Compact Design

The Franco sideboard is a great buy if you are looking for compact storage. It is 92cm wide, 38cm deep and 75cm high. So it can easily fit in most rooms, even those without much space to spare. You can set it up next to the bed, along the wall in the dining area or along the entryway.

But it’s still large enough to be a practical addition to your home. It has plenty of space to store serving dishes, special dinnerware, table linen, extra bedding and other non-bulky items.

3. Adjustable Shelving

The Franco sideboard comes with two shelves to organise the interior space. This gives you three compartments.

The shelves are height-adjustable so you can customise the sideboard to fit different kinds of items in each compartment.

How Easy Is It To Assemble?

The Franco sideboard is available in two options: flat pack and fully assembled. If you get the flat pack, you’ll need to put together the sideboard yourself, or hire somebody to do it (Airtasker is great for that).

Assembly is fairly easy and straightforward. Most people should be able to assemble the sideboard on their own. Dunelm recommends that at least two people should assemble it.

By the way, make sure you assemble the sideboard where you plan to set it up or at least as close as possible. It’s not too heavy (28.1kg), but it can still be a pain to move it into place.

What Accessories Are Included?

The Franco sideboard doesn’t come with any extra accessories.

Pros

• Beautiful sideboard.
