Product Insights
The Coloured Connor Modern Sideboard, designed and made in Quebec by Simons Maison, offers rare saturated colors like Mossy Green and Chocolate/Espresso at a sub-$500 price point, with UV- and stain-resistant melamine and soft-close hydraulic hinges rated for 50k+ cycles in a compact 15-inch depth that fits tight spaces. Its main tradeoff is that achieving proper soft-close function requires careful hinge micro-adjustment and cabinet alignment during assembly, as melamine edges can chip and screw holes may strip if over-tightened. At $498, it costs over $200 more than basic options but bundles local craftsmanship, premium hardware, and distinct color choices not found in budget sideboards.
Verified claims
- Provenance
- Designed and made in Quebec by a family-owned brand that collaborates with local designers.
- Color palette
- Available in deep Chocolate/Espresso and Mossy Green, rare hues for a sub-500 CAD sideboard.
- Finish durability
- UV- and stain-resistant melamine keeps the saturated color intact for years.
- Design heritage
- Part of Simons Maison's curated Quebec designer collection
- Depth fit
- 38 cm (15 in) depth clears baseboards and fits behind sofas and hallways.
- Soft-close system
- Uses hydraulic soft-close hinges; equivalent three-door hinge upgrades commonly add $15–$45, and similar mid-price melamine soft-close hinges are typically validated for 50,000–100,000 cycles.
- Surface resistance
- Resists UV yellowing and repels stains from spills.
- Care instructions
- Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent; avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or solvents.
- Mechanical durability
- Soft-close hinge and careful assembly prevent chipping and hardware wear.
- Carcass squaring
- Keeping fixings loose until the carcass is square prevents misaligned doors.
- Door alignment
- Hinge micro-adjustments after assembly are needed to eliminate uneven door gaps.
- Melamine handling
- Melamine edges chip on impact and screw holes strip when over-tightened.
- Price position
- At $498, $200+ over HOMCOM, bundles Quebec-made, soft-close, and colors.
- Build quality
- Soft-close hinges and UV/stain-resistant melamine standard.
- Design differentiation
- A 15-inch depth and Mossy Green colorway are uncommon among budget sideboards, which more often use white or natural wood finishes.
- Storage configuration
- Three storage compartments each include a shelf; the shelves are fixed and likely not height-adjustable.
- Shallow depth room fit
- At 15 inches deep, the Coloured Connor Modern Sideboard is not too deep for a narrow hallway or compact living room; its sleek, shallow-depth design falls in the 15–18 inch range recommended for tight walkways and can tuck behind a sofa without blocking the path.
- Baseboard clearance
- The 15-inch depth clears standard baseboard skirting, allowing the sideboard to sit flush against the wall without needing to be pulled forward.
- Local manufacturing
- Designed and manufactured in Quebec, a rare locally made option in a category where many sub-$300 sideboards are imported from China.
- Assembly time and tools
- Assembly is required, but no official build time is quoted; budget roughly 1–2 hours with a second person to help align the three doors and steady the cabinet. A screwdriver plus the included hardware is all you need, and while one person can manage it, two makes it much easier.
- Door swing clearance
- The 15-inch cabinet depth is not the full clearance story: the three swing doors realistically need about 10–16 inches of open space in front to be usable day to day, so measure to the open-door front edge, not the wall-hugging closed footprint.
- Shelf depth limitations
- A 15-inch-deep cabinet still swallows standard dinner plates and most small counter appliances, but oversized platters, large stand mixers, and deep serving bowls are what stop fitting; buyers planning to store entertaining platters or baking gear should plan to keep those elsewhere.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Coloured Connor Modern Sideboard 52.5": Choose this if you want a modern three-door sideboard in a Chocolate/Espresso or Mossy Green matte finish for an entrance, dining room, or living room, with three storage spaces (each with a shelf), smooth-closing doors with concealed hinges, recessed top-edge metal handles, and slim black metal legs. It measures 52.5 inches long by 15 inches deep by 35 inches high, so its 15-inch depth suits slimmer walls, and it is designed and made in Quebec (assembly hardware imported). Note that assembly is required and the structure is melamine rather than solid wood.[1,2,3] | Advik Wooden Sideboard: Choose this if you want a minimalist solid wood sideboard with what the merchant describes as simplicity and country charm, suited to adding storage and a decorative touch. Its long, narrow footprint of 63 inches by 15.75 inches by 32 inches high, two-tier open design with a full-width lower shelf, and cylindrical legs work well in hallways or against walls, in brown or chocolate/espresso, one size. Note that assembly is required, and the material listing (solid wood with mango wood veneer) does not specify which components are solid versus veneered.[4,5,6] | Rattan Doors Wood Sideboard: Choose this if you want a compact sideboard with a relaxed, natural look: it measures about 35.5 inches wide, 17.75 inches deep, and 33.5 inches high, with a solid ash wood frame and woven rattan door fronts. Behind the two doors, a single shelf divides the interior into two stacked compartments for everyday storage, which the merchant describes as an easy fit for dining rooms, entryways, or living spaces. Keep in mind the storage setup is simple with just one shelf, and it comes in one size only.[7,8] |
