sideboard

Ordered a sideboard

For a long time I’ve been looking for a sideboard to place in front of the window in the livingroom.

The purpose is to get more space for flowers indoors when the cold season comes (which will be soon). I’ve got several plants outside on the patio that need to move inside when the weather changes and the nights get colder. My windowsill in the livingroom isn’t large enough to house them all. Some go into the bedroom, but most need to be in the livingroom.

When I got the new catalogue from MIO last week I found the table I want. Right look, right size, right height. White shiny white top on metall legs. Simple and airy. (They have it with a black glass top as well, but on black you see all the dust and such).

I ordered it yesterday and it will arrive to be collected in the shop in about a week. Looking forward to get it.

Sideboards with wheels

I like sideboards with wheels. Unfortunately I don’t have the space for one in my smallish flat. If I had, the above one from MIO would be a contender, 53 cm diameter. SEK 795 (approximately USD 110). Comes with either white or clear glass surface.

IKEA has a similar one called STRIND, with white glass surface. Thinner wheels. No hand-rail. SEK 799 (USD 69.99) for the one with a 50 cm diameter. They also have a bigger one. 75 cm diameter, for SEK 995 (USD 99.99).

The one from MIO looks more elegant to my eyes. And, as it has wheels, it is good to have something to drag it around with. The Ikea-model doesn’t have that.

In both cases, not that suitable for a family with small kids, dogs, cats… it is much too easy to knock off the glass surface from below the glass. But for the rest of us, nice tables. Personally, I would choose the one from MIO.
