Sahara Sideboard 161cm - Natural Brushed
Sahara Sideboard 161cm - Natural Brushed | Online8 New Zealand Pre-order — arriving approximately October 2026. A 161cm sideboard in natural brushed mindi. Brushing the timber wears away the softer grain and leaves the harder growth rings standing slightly proud, so the surface has texture you can feel rather than a sprayed-flat finish. At 78cm it is low enough to sit under most window sills, which makes it the choice for a wall with glazing. Why It Stands Apart Brushed timber surface: The softer grain is worked back so the growth rings stand proud — texture you can feel, not just see. Only 78cm high: Low enough to run under most window sills without blocking the light. 161cm long: Substantial without demanding a two-metre wall, so it fits a normal dining room. Natural finish: A light, warm tone that lifts a room and works against both pale and dark walls. 46cm deep: Sits close to the wall while still taking larger serving pieces. Mindi construction: Mindi timber with mindi veneer over an MDF core.

This is a pre-order. Stock is due to land approximately October 2026. Ordering now reserves one from the incoming shipment. What does "brushed" mean? The timber is worked with a brush before finishing, which wears away the softer grain and leaves the harder growth rings raised. The result is a surface with genuine texture rather than a flat sprayed coat. Will it fit under a window? At 78cm high it clears most standard sill heights, which is the main reason to choose it over the taller Montero. Measure your sill before ordering. How does it compare to the Montero? Both are natural brushed mindi. The Montero is longer at 180cm and taller at 85cm. The Sahara is the shorter, lower of the two. Will it match the photos exactly? Not precisely. Slight variation in wood colour and texture is normal and is part of the character of the piece. How do I care for it? Wipe with a soft, barely damp cloth and dry it off. Avoid abrasive cleaners, and use mats or coasters under anything hot or wet. Dust along the grain rather than across it on a brushed surface. Do you ship nationwide? Yes, we ship nationwide.
