Where Bralco sideboards work well
These sideboards are a practical choice wherever a workplace needs storage near the point of use. In private offices, they can hold documents, stationery and equipment while supporting a clean, uncluttered desk area. In open-plan offices, they provide shared storage for teams without requiring a fixed installation.
The Open Compartment model is useful when some items need to remain visible, such as frequently used supplies, display materials or shared resources. The standard sideboard is better suited to workplaces that prefer a more uniform closed front and want everyday contents kept out of sight.
How to choose the right configuration
Select the layout first
Start by deciding whether your team benefits from an accessible open compartment. If quick visibility matters, the Open Compartment Sideboard offers a useful balance between display access and enclosed storage. If a consistent, concealed appearance is the priority, choose the Office Storage Sideboard.
Consider access and security
Both models include a cylinder lock, so check who needs access and whether the sideboard will store shared or sensitive workplace items. The plastic handles are suited to regular opening and closing. As neither option includes hanging folder frames, choose them for general office storage rather than suspended filing.
Coordinate the finish with the room
Melamine construction gives the family a practical office finish, with colour options including beige, black, grey, brown, gold, red, silver, transparent, white and wood. Use the existing furniture palette as a starting point: a restrained neutral can blend into a formal office, while a stronger colour can help define a shared zone or support area.
What to check before leasing
Confirm the available finish and the preferred storage layout before placing a request. It is also worth measuring the intended wall or circulation area, checking door and handle clearance, and deciding whether the sideboard will be used individually or shared by a team. Review the product information and catalogue material for the relevant model details.
Myntwork offers Bralco office storage through a monthly lease, helping workplaces plan furniture around changing teams, layouts and operational needs. Once the configuration is clear, compare the two models and confirm that the selected sideboard supports the way your office stores and accesses everyday items.
Frequently asked questions about Bralco Sideboard
What is the difference between the two Bralco sideboards?
The Open Compartment Sideboard includes an open compartment alongside its enclosed storage, making some items easier to see and reach. The standard Bralco Office Storage Sideboard has a more consistently closed storage format.
Do Bralco sideboards include locks?
Yes. Both listed Bralco sideboard models include a cylinder lock, which can help secure everyday office contents and shared workplace supplies.
Are hanging file frames included?
No. The collection is specified without hanging folder frames, so these sideboards are better suited to general office storage than suspended filing systems.
What materials and finishes are available?
The sideboards use melamine construction and are available across a broad colour selection, including beige, black, grey, brown, gold, red, silver, transparent, white and wood options. Confirm the finish available for your chosen model.
Are Bralco sideboards suitable for open-plan offices?
Yes. Their freestanding format suits open-plan offices, private rooms, meeting areas and shared support zones. Choose the open-compartment model for quicker access or the closed format for a more uniform appearance.
