Choosing a Plana cabinet for your space
Start with the role the cabinet will play. In an individual office, it can keep frequently used supplies out of sight while remaining accessible. In a shared workspace, enclosed storage can help give common items a consistent home. For a meeting or project area, consider whether the cabinet will hold materials used by several people and whether access should be restricted.
Next, check the available product details against the room. Measure the intended location, including the usable floor area and clearance around nearby furniture, doors and walkways. Confirm the selected cabinet’s dimensions on its product listing rather than relying on a general family description. Also consider how much storage capacity you need and whether the cabinet will be used on its own or alongside other storage pieces.
Decide whether a lock is needed
The listed family includes a configuration with a cylinder lock and one listing that does not specify a lock. Choose based on what the cabinet will contain and who needs access. If you plan to store shared office supplies, an unlocked configuration may be suitable; if access control matters, verify the cylinder-lock option in the product details. Do not assume the two listings have identical features.
Match the finish to the room
The cabinets have melamine doors, body and back, with plastic feet. Available color options shown for the collection include beige, black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, silver, white and yellow. The range gives you the opportunity to coordinate with existing furniture or use a contrasting color, subject to availability on the individual listing. Check the selected product page for its specific color choices.
These models are listed without hanging folder frames. If your storage plan depends on suspended folders, confirm that a different product family is appropriate before deciding. For general enclosed storage, think about the items’ size, how often they are needed and whether shelves or other interior details are specified on the individual product page.
What to check before selecting
- Measure the placement area and confirm the chosen model’s dimensions.
- Verify whether the configuration includes a cylinder lock.
- Check the color and product details for the specific listing.
- Confirm that the cabinet’s storage arrangement suits the items you intend to keep inside.
Once you have compared the configurations and confirmed the fit, review the product listing for its full specifications. Myntwork offers Alea Plana products on a monthly lease, providing a leasing option for businesses furnishing a workspace.
