Description
The Akeru Sideboard by Giuseppe Viganò for Porada perfectly combines multi-function wonderment with elegance.
Crafted from walnut canaletta, it features a luxurious marble top and an open central compartment with wood or marble cladding, serving as a striking focal point. An optional extralight glass element enhances its versatility for custom organisation. The sideboard’s wood essence doors conceal compartments with crystal shelves, adding a touch of lightness. In the TV stand version, cable management and a removable rear panel ensure ease of use. Whether as storage or a media console, the Akeru Sideboard brings timeless sophistication to any space.

While Chaplins has an in-house delivery team, we do employ third-party white glove services for certain deliveries, particularly those with special requirements. Please be aware that if your delivery requirements exceed our standard service, such as requiring more fitters or assembly time, surcharges may apply.
Our online sales department will contact you prior to delivery to discuss your requirements, including access checks and placement. If your order cannot be delivered due to restricted access, you may request delivery to an alternative address within 2 months - please note that this will incur costs for storage and redelivery.
For items that cannot fit into the room of choice through conventional delivery means, we can deliver via platform hoist, ropes or crane with a surcharge. Our third-party fitters are trained to remove wooden and UPVC sash windows.
The pricing for Medium & Large Furniture delivery is dependent on the destinee's post-code. An estimate will be given at checkout. For international deliveries, please note that we can only provide a shipping quote for orders over £3,000.

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
Brand Profile
Porada
Since 1948 Porada has been in a passionate love affair with wood. The ability to turn a log into a sculptural piece of furniture forms the roots of this luxury Italian brand. Porada has found international recognition for its exceptional design with the use of a perfect equilibrium between form and function in everyday objects, together with an elegant and evolved taste. Porada's desire to make long-lasting art out of the natural world has led to collaborations with renowned designers including Stefano Bigi, Tarcisio Colzani, Maconato & Zappa and Gina Corollo.
