Vintage sideboards and used sideboards: teak, USM Haller, design classics

The sideboard is the piece that organises a room: storage below, a stage above, and in between the question of whether it has character.

At 2nd home you will find used sideboards and vintage sideboards from second hand: Danish teak credenzas of the 1960s, modular systems by USM Haller, designs by Warren Platner for Knoll, solid wood by Echterbecker and Nipu Møbleren. Every piece is individually checked and described with all dimensions and photos of its true condition. The smaller siblings await among the dressers, the largest modernist range at USM Haller.

What should you look for in a used sideboard?

At drawers and doors: do they run smoothly, do they close cleanly? At the back panel, which is often thin on old pieces. And at the size, because a 220 centimetre sideboard has to get through your door and stairwell. Everything we know is in the description, and we name traces of use openly.

Teak, rosewood or steel?

Danish teak brings warmth and suits almost anything, rosewood is darker and rarer, USM Haller in steel is the office classic that has long since moved into living rooms. Used, you get all three well below list price, with the patina a new piece only acquires in twenty years.

Why a sideboard from second hand?

Because the good pieces of the 1960s are built from wood that is rarely worked like this today, and because a sideboard that has lasted sixty years will last another sixty. Storage does not get more sustainable, and rarely more beautiful. Measure door and hallway before buying, the narrowest point decides.
