FAQs
What tools are required for assembly?
Typical assembly requires a screwdriver (both Phillips and flathead are often useful) and potentially a hammer for dowels. All necessary hardware is usually included, but specific tool requirements will be detailed in the assembly manual.
Can the LED lighting be turned off?
Yes, the integrated LED lighting typically includes an on/off switch, allowing you to control when it is illuminated to suit your preference or mood.
What is the weight capacity of the shelves?
Info needed: The exact weight capacity for each shelf (glass and internal chipboard) is not specified. It is generally advisable to distribute weight evenly and avoid placing excessively heavy items to ensure stability and prevent damage.
Is the finish prone to fingerprints?
The high-gloss doors are more susceptible to showing fingerprints and smudges than the matte body. Regular wiping with a microfiber cloth is recommended to maintain its pristine appearance.
Can this sideboard be used as a TV stand?
Yes, with its dimensions (145cm W) and cable access, the Aurora Sideboard is well-suited for use as a TV stand, especially for TVs up to approximately 60-65 inches, depending on the TV's base width. The open compartment is ideal for media devices.
What are the primary materials used in its construction?
The sideboard is constructed from durable 16mm chipboard and MDF (Medium-density fibreboard), with the central shelf being glass. These materials contribute to its robust and long-lasting quality.
Is wall mounting an option for this sideboard?
Info needed: The product description does not specify if it is designed for wall mounting. Generally, sideboards of this size and type are freestanding. Attempting to wall-mount without manufacturer's instructions or appropriate hardware may be unsafe and could void the warranty.
Troubleshooting
Sideboard feels wobbly or unstable after assembly.
Ensure all screws, bolts, and cam locks are fully tightened. Check that the unit is placed on a level surface. If your floor is uneven, consider using furniture leveling pads under the feet.
LED light in the central compartment is not working.
Verify that the power adapter is securely plugged into both the LED strip and a functional wall outlet. Check the power switch for the LED lights to ensure it is in the 'on' position. If applicable, test the outlet with another device.
Push-to-open doors are not opening or closing smoothly.
Check the alignment of the door hinges and the push-to-open mechanism. Adjust hinges if doors are misaligned. Ensure nothing is obstructing the door's path inside the cabinet. The push mechanism may require slight adjustment or lubrication if sticking.
Scratches or marks on the high-gloss door surfaces.
For light scratches, a specialized furniture polish for high-gloss finishes might help reduce their appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Prevent future scratches by using soft cloths for cleaning and avoiding abrasive materials.
Cables are difficult to route through the access points.
Ensure all devices are positioned close enough to the access points. Gently guide cables one by one. If using many cables, consider using cable ties to bundle them for easier management and a neater look.

Setup: The Aurora Sideboard requires assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly and to follow the detailed instructions provided in the package. Ensure you have a clear, spacious area and the necessary tools (usually a screwdriver and possibly a hammer). Take care when handling panels, especially the high-gloss doors and glass shelf, to avoid scratches or damage.
Compatibility: This sideboard is designed to blend seamlessly with modern and contemporary interior decor styles. Its dark grey matte body and high-gloss doors make it a versatile piece that can complement various color palettes. Ensure the dimensions (145cm W x 70cm H x 35cm D) fit your intended space before assembly.
Care:
- General Cleaning: Wipe the matte and gloss surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Gloss Doors: For high-gloss surfaces, use a microfiber cloth to prevent streaks and remove fingerprints. A small amount of non-abrasive glass cleaner can be used sparingly if needed, applied to the cloth first, not directly to the surface.
- Glass Shelf: Clean the glass shelf with a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Be gentle to avoid scratches.
- Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent damage or staining, particularly on the chipboard components.
- Maintenance: Periodically check and tighten any loose fasteners to ensure the sideboard remains stable and secure.
