How to choose an OKA lowboard
Start with the items that will go inside the cabinet. If you mainly need lower storage and want to keep the surface accessible, a lowboard format may suit the room better than a taller shelving unit. Then compare the three model names: OKA Lowboard One File-Height, OKA Lowboard One Filing and OKA Lowboard One-Binder Height. The names indicate different intended storage heights, so use them as a first filter rather than assuming all three have identical usable space.
Next, check the listed measurements for the exact model. The One-Binder Height Shelving Unit is specified as 120 cm wide, 45 cm deep and 38.4 cm high. Do not apply those measurements to the other two models: consult their individual product details if the cabinet needs to fit a particular spot or hold items with precise dimensions. Allow for the surrounding space needed to access the cabinet as well.
Check the interior and construction
The listings describe one shelf, but the details vary by model. The File-Height model is described with a wooden shelf and steel plinth. The Filing model is a metal lowboard with one filing height, one shelf and a 70 mm steel plinth. The One-Binder Height model is described as metal and includes a cylinder lock. Review each listing to confirm the construction and features that apply to your selection.
The collection attributes state that hanging folder frames are not included. If your filing workflow depends on suspended folders, verify the cabinet’s interior arrangement before choosing; a filing-height label does not by itself confirm compatibility with a hanging-folder system. The cylinder lock is a shared feature in the model descriptions, so consider whether lockable storage meets your workplace’s needs.
Plan for the room and the next step
Color is another practical consideration when coordinating office storage. Collection options shown include neutral shades, brighter colors and a wood finish, but availability can vary by model. Check the selected listing rather than assuming every color is available across all three units. You can also compare the cabinet’s listed material and plinth details when matching it with existing furniture.
Before selecting, make a short checklist: the items to store, required height and width, the room’s available footprint, preferred color, and whether the listed shelf and lock suit your use. If any measurement or interior detail is important, use the individual product specifications to resolve it. Myntwork offers these OKA products on a monthly lease, giving businesses a leasing option when planning workplace furniture.
