Constructed from cross-laminated Moso bamboo, the HollyHOME Sideboard is built to be more resistant to natural warping than standard solid wood. The bamboo fibers offer a high weight-to-thickness ratio, resulting in a sturdy frame that handles the demands of a kitchen environment. The unit features sliding doors that travel along a groove-and-tongue track, which saves space by eliminating the need for door swing clearance in narrow pantries or galleys.
Specifications show that while the unit can be used as a freestanding piece, its narrow center of gravity makes wall-mounting the more stable configuration. The sliding mechanism does not use ball bearings, so keeping the cabinet perfectly level during installation is essential to prevent the doors from stuttering. Applying a small amount of dry lubricant to the tracks can also help maintain smooth operation over time.
The "Burlywood" lacquer finish provides a warm, natural aesthetic, though it is sensitive to high-heat and sustained steam. For this reason, it is most effective when mounted away from direct stovetop heat. When mounting into drywall, using toggle bolts instead of the standard plastic anchors helps support a full load of ceramic dishes or pantry staples safely.
If you require a cabinet with a darker finish and a different door style, the NEWOWNDS Rattan Cabinet provides a modular alternative for kitchen or laundry storage.
