Solid Wood Storage Furniture Cabinets, Shoe Racks & Sideboards Craftkala

Home storage furniture doesn’t get much consideration in India. You get a particleboard cabinet that looks okay for a year. After that, the outer layers begin to peel, the drawers begin to stick, and by the second monsoon, the cabinet has warped and become something you try to hide from guests.

Craftkala was built to fix this.

Our cabinets, shoe racks, and sideboards are all made from solid Sheesham and Mango wood. The same wood, the same craftsmen, and the same joinery as our beds and dining tables. A Craftkala product is built to last a minimum of 20 years. This isn’t a marketing gimmick, solid wood lasts a long time when manufactured properly.

Whether you need a living room storage cabinet that doesn’t scream “storage cabinet”, a wooden shoe rack that can handle a joint family’s worth of shoes, a solid wood sideboard to complete your dining room, or something else, you can find it here.

Cabinets For Kitchens, Living Rooms & Everything In Between

Think of how many times you open a cabinet in a day. They are something that almost never gets noticed until they do their one job and fall apart. With solid Sheesham, they never will.

Our living room wooden cabinets are built differently than wooden cabinets you’ll find in the average furniture store. Average stores have foil-wrapped MDF boards that chip at the corners. Average stores have hollow backs that flex. Our wooden cabinets will not go through these problems because our cabinets are built with solid wood.

Here are the options in our cabinets:

Our small cabinets for kitchens are perfect for the kitchens that run out of counter space. They are built to fit in corners, or right next to the refrigerator, or even under window ledges. They even fit in tight spaces and hold items like cooking oils and spices.

Our wall mounted kitchen cabinets are built to hold Indian wall structures, which mostly contain brick and concrete. Our mounted cabinets use a French cleat system and come with wall plugs, screws, and a clear and helpful installation guide.

Our readymade kitchen cabinets online  do not require a custom kitchen build and are fully finished. They quickly ship within 7 to 10 business days, with no site visits or frustrating build delays.

For the living room, we offer storage cabinets with drawers in 2, 3, or 4-drawer combinations. These cabinets are ideal for home offices, study corners, or children’s rooms. For our buffet line, we have a cabinet buffet sideboard which allows for a large serving space with several shelves and storage below. This piece is perfect for a kitchen, dining room, or utility room.

We offer all cabinets in finishes of Natural Teak, Honey, Walnut, and Dark Brown. These are the same four finishes in the rest of our collection. We guarantee the pieces you buy today will coordinate with the pieces you buy later.

Shoe Racks Elevating Your Entryway

The entryway is the first part of your home that you see when returning home, and the first part your guests see when they enter your home. However, in most Indian homes it is common to find either a wire shoe rack or a plastic shoe rack, which are usually full and rusting.

The entryway of your home sets the tone for the rest of your home, and it can be instantly improved with a quality

Like the rest of our furniture, Craftkala’s shoe racks are built with solid Sheesham, and quality joinery, and slatted racks. Solid, bottom shelves in shoe racks trap moisture, particularly in the monsoon, causing the often overwhelming shoe smell in entryways. Slatted, bottom racks allow for air to circulate within the shoe rack keeping it fresher for longer.

Our Products

If you have 2-3 members in your household, our shoe rack with a modern design, at just under 90 cm wide, can be placed next to your door without blocking the adjacent wall and can fit 12-18 pairs of shoes.

If your household consists of 4-5 members, the Big Shoe Rack Wooden with either 5 or 6 tiers is the better option for you. This rack, depending on the size of the shoe, can fit 25-35 pairs and has been built to look substantial without overpowering a standard foyer.

If your household is a joint family, or the entryway becomes a dumping ground for everyone, the Shoe Stand with Doors is the best option for you. This is a fully enclosed shoe cabinet made with either solid or louvered doors. This option is the best way to keep the entryway neat and clean, no matter how messy it is on the inside, and is the most popular shoe storage option we have. Once you have one, you’ll wonder why you used an open rack before.

Sideboards

It’s hard to know you even need a sideboard until you see how it fills the void in a room.

Dining rooms are structured around a **solid wood sideboard**. It’s perfect for serving dishes and storing linens. Your bar tray and crockery can rest here between uses as well. A living room sideboard with glazed doors acts as a display case, while a slim, tall front room sideboard in a hallway fills an empty wall and provides a perfect spot for keys and mail.

They are the perfect piece of furniture you don’t want to remove once you have it.

Our solid wood sideboard range features sheesham and mango wood sideboards. Our wood sideboards are designed and constructed with the same care as our dining room furniture. Doors and drawers can actually function without (too much) hassle and hold their shape. Some of this may sound trivial to you, but in most furniture, you are seeing these things for the first time.

What to Expect:

The wood sideboard cabinet sports a flat top perfect for a serving display and a handy storage space with adjustable shelving. It’s the perfect sideboard for almost any room.

The sleek design of the modern sideboard cabinet leaves no room for visible hardware. Instead, doors and drawers feature a touch-and-go opening mechanism. Designing a storage unit and a piece of furniture has basically the same goal, so we have achieved exactly what we set out to do.

The kitchen sideboard has a heat-resistant top panel for homes where the sideboard is next to the kitchen and has to withstand hot sideboard. Shelves beneath the sideboard are deep enough to hold large pots, and sectioned to store stacked tiffin boxes.

For bedrooms, our side table with storage is a compact sideboard that can function as a nightstand or a low dresser. It offers the storage space of a cabinet the size of a side table. The bedside table with drawer is a single-drawer, minimal design nightstand.

When you are looking for wooden cabinets online and do not know what to choose, here is a simple way to figure what you need. Anything meant for the dining or living room that is a long, low, wide piece with an empty top, is a sideboard. If it goes in the kitchen or a utility room or you need a tall piece with enclosed drawers, you need a cabinet. If it is to go next to the sofa to hold a lamp and a glass, you need a side table with storage.

Cabinet, sideboard, shoe rack. We get it, it can be confusing when they all seem to store stuff. We can help with that.

A Couple Important Things Before You Buy

Solid wood handles India better than anything else

We get it. It can be tempting to buy the cheaper option. But, trust us, options like Particleboard and MDF are cheap for a reason. They become ruined in the monsoons. Our solid wood sideboards and storage cabinets are built to last. You get the benefits of wood that has been in Indian homes for ages! They can last for decades and handle any dry heat in May or humidity in July.

Why do all shoe racks have slatted shelves? They’re all designed the same way for a reason, but it’s not a style reason, it’s for hygiene a reason that deserves more recognition.

Every shoe rack we manufacture has slatted shelves on all tiers. This is to allow air to circulate under the shoe racks, preventing moisture and bad smells. This may seem like a small detail, but once you experience a shoe rack without slats, you understand.

Stylish furniture means matching furniture.

All storage furnishings from Craftkala come in four finishes: Natural Teak, Honey, Walnut and Dark Brown. These are the same finishes as our beds, sofas and dining furnishings. So, if you order a sideboard today and a dining table in six months, use the same finish code and they will be in beautiful harmony.

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again; measure twice, order once.

All products have external dimensions, internal shelf dimensions and door swing clearance listed on the product page. Our team is available via WhatsApp to help you check if a piece will fit your space. Please reach out.

FAQ

What is the best material for furniture in Indian homes?

Solid Sheesham wood is the best choice for Indian homes. MDF and Particle Board furniture, which are the materials of choice for most budget furniture, absorb moisture and tend to fall apart within 3-5 years. A solid wood sideboard or wooden cabinet from Craftkala is built to last 20-25 years with basic care. ”

What do you need to think about when picking out a shoe rack?

When picking out a shoe rack, you need to consider how many pairs of shoes you actually plan on using regularly. You shouldn’t think about how many pairs of shoes you actually own. If you live with 3 or less people, a shoe rack with 4 or 5 tiers should be adequate. A family of 4 or 5 would require a shoe rack with 5 tiers and a larger frame. If you live with a joint family, our shoe stand with doors would be the ideal shoe rack. It offers a clean storage solution for shoe clutter in the entry way, holds 40+ pairs of shoes, and is a fully enclosed wooden cabinet for shoes.

Shoe rack with doors or open shelves?

Shoe racks with doors look neat and keep shoes out of sight. They’re more expensive, but are worth it if your entryway is visible from the living room or you have guests over often. Open shelves are fine if your shoe area is in a utility corridor or on a passing balcony. Open shoe racks are also more practical. Most of our customers with kids or pets prefer closed shoe cabinets because of the chaos.

Do you have wall-mounted kitchen cabinets?

Yes, we have wall mounted kitchen cabinets. We use a French cleat mounting system which is perfect for the concrete and brick walls of India. Each piece comes with the cleat, plus all the wall plugs, screws, and an illustrated guide. We offer free professional installation in all of Delhi NCR and Gurugram. In other areas, our team has coordinated installation with local carpenters.

What are readymade kitchen cabinets and why are they preferred over modular?

Readymade kitchen cabinets are finished and ready to install, shipping in 7–10 business days. These cabinets also eliminate the need for on-site measurements, approvals, and the long waiting periods that modular cabinets come with. Modular kitchens are a custom design, and therefore, are costlier. Readymade cabinets are ideal for renters, people looking for a quick upgrade, and people looking to add a corner storage solution to the kitchen without a full kitchen remodel.

Do the Sideboards include Adjustable Shelves?

All our sideboard storage cabinets and wooden cabinets with drawers include shelf pins set at 5 cm intervals. This means you can customize the height of each shelf based on your storage needs, whether you are storing tall items like bottles or shorter items like stacked linens or books. Our shelving is much more versatile than fixed shelving.

What is the Difference Between a Sideboard and a TV Unit?

A iving room sideboard is a multipurpose storage unit. It can hold books and everyday items, while a TV unit is a storage unit built specifically for a TV. It is built to accommodate different TV sizes and includes storage for cable boxes, set top boxes, and consoles.
