Sideboard in Oak: Closed Below, Open Above

150 × 112 × 35 cm
FSC oak
Made in Germany
Configurable in 3D

Building

A sideboard holds the contradictions of a room: things that should disappear and things that may show. KUUDU resolves this per cell, closed boxes below for cables, glasses, and clutter, open oak levels above for what deserves the view.

Modern Living Room Sideboard with Modular Sections - KUUDU Modular Shelving System - Oak

The configuration shown is 150 cm wide at 112 cm height, two sections with four levels. At this height the top works as a display and serving surface; records and books stand in the open rows. Oak veneer (FSC European) on powder-coated aluminium, oiled and open-pored.

Searching for solid oak? KUUDU deliberately uses veneer over aluminium: the surface is real European oak, the build stays lighter and dimensionally stable, and every part rebuilds into the next shape, wider, taller, or onto the wall. The 3D configurator shows price and dimensions live.

FAQ

Is the sideboard solid oak?

No, and by design: FSC European oak veneer over powder-coated aluminium. The surface is real oak; the aluminium keeps the build light, stable, and modular enough to rebuild later.

Which cells can be closed?

Any cell can be built as a closed box or stay open; the assignment is chosen per cell in the configurator, so the closed share follows what the sideboard actually stores.

Does it work as a TV unit?

At 112 cm the top sits above typical sofa eye level; for a TV, the lower builds around 50 cm work better. Both come from the same system and the same parts.
