Where the Bralco R18 collection fits
R18 sideboards can support several workplace storage needs without requiring a tall cabinet layout. Use them along a wall in an open office to keep shared supplies close to the teams that use them, or place them in a meeting room for presentation materials and everyday equipment. Their sideboard form can also suit reception and lounge areas where storage needs to remain practical while fitting a more considered interior.
The lockable construction is useful when stored items should not be left openly accessible. Cylinder locks provide a simple way to secure contents, while the freestanding design allows the cabinet to be positioned as part of a wider furniture plan.
How to choose between the R18 models
Choose by layout first
Start with the available floor area and the direction in which the cabinet needs to work. The right-aligned model is worth considering when the storage arrangement needs to follow a particular room layout or furniture run. The standard sideboard offers a more neutral configuration for spaces where alignment is less critical.
Check dimensions and capacity
The two models have different listed widths, depths and heights. Review these measurements against wall lengths, circulation routes, door clearances and nearby desks before selecting a cabinet. Also consider how much internal organisation you need: the collection includes shelving, while the sideboard format is intended for general storage rather than hanging folder frames.
Materials, colours and practical details
Melamine construction provides a straightforward finish for daily office use, and the natural oak wood legs add contrast beneath the cabinet. Colour options range from neutral beige, grey, black and white to gold, red and wood finishes. Select a colour that works with the surrounding desks, seating and flooring rather than treating the cabinet as an isolated piece.
The R18 collection is not presented as an acoustic product, and it does not include hanging folder frames. If your priority is sound absorption or suspended filing, compare the cabinet’s intended use with your storage requirements before proceeding. For general shelves-and-doors storage with lockable access, the range offers a focused solution.
What to check next
- Measure the installation area, including depth and access around the cabinet.
- Compare the standard and right-aligned layouts against your room plan.
- Review the dimensions and catalogue information for the selected SKU.
- Confirm the preferred colour and how it coordinates with the rest of the workspace.
- Consider whether shelves and a cylinder lock provide the organisation and security you need.
