Where Northern Hifive sideboards work well
Use the Hifive collection wherever a room needs discreet, lockable storage close to people. A low sideboard can sit behind desks, along a meeting-room wall or beneath a display area without competing with the main furniture. In reception and collaboration spaces, it can hold supplies while keeping the room visually ordered.
The 100 cm floor cabinet is a practical choice when space is limited or when storage is needed in several locations. The 150 cm models offer a balanced middle size, while the 200 cm cabinet is suited to longer walls and larger shared storage needs. The Wall L150 option is useful when you want to keep the floor area clear or create a more suspended, built-in look.
How to choose between the models
Start with width and placement
Measure the available wall run and allow enough clearance for doors, circulation and nearby workstations. Select a floor model when the cabinet should stand independently on its legs. Choose the wall-mounted Hifive Wall L150 when the room plan calls for a cabinet without legs. Confirm that the mounting surface and installation approach are appropriate before ordering.
Compare access and storage style
The Hifive Floor 150 and Floor 200 models are listed with sliding doors, which can be helpful where swing-door clearance is restricted. The Floor 100 is described as a low storage cabinet and is suitable for a more compact footprint. All four members have a cylinder lock, so consider who needs access and how the key-management routine will work in your organisation.
Finish and practical checks
The product facts identify a light oiled oak finish across the collection, with beige and black also appearing as available colour attributes. Review the selected model’s finish and colour details before placing it alongside existing desks, storage or flooring. The cabinets are not described as acoustic products and do not include hanging folder frames, so they should be selected for general closed storage rather than specialist filing or sound management.
Before finalising your choice, check the exact width, the H15 configuration where applicable, the required installation position and the door format. Myntwork offers Northern Hifive products on a monthly lease, allowing businesses to consider the collection as part of a flexible workplace furnishing plan.
Frequently asked questions about Northern Sideboard Cabinet Hifive
What is the main difference between the Northern Hifive floor and wall models?
The floor models are freestanding cabinets with legs, while the Hifive Wall L150 is a low wall-mounted cabinet without legs. Choose based on whether the cabinet should stand independently or keep the floor area clear.
Which Hifive sideboard is suitable for a smaller wall?
The 100 cm floor model has the narrowest listed width and is the most compact option in the collection. Measure the space carefully, including circulation and clearance around the cabinet.
Which Northern Hifive models have sliding doors?
The Hifive Floor 150 and Hifive Floor 200 are identified as sliding-door sideboards. Sliding doors can be useful where there is limited room in front of the cabinet for conventional door swings.
Do all Northern Hifive sideboards have locks?
Yes. The listed Hifive members include a cylinder lock. Consider how the cabinet will be accessed and managed within your office before selecting its location.
Are hanging folder frames or acoustic features included?
The collection facts state that there are no hanging folder frames and no acoustic features. These cabinets are therefore best considered for general closed storage rather than specialist filing or acoustic zoning.
