Tchibo CN3 is a named metal furniture series, not evidence that a cabinet uses interchangeable USM Haller parts. If you are choosing a complete sideboard, compare the particular CN3 model with the complete USM or Klackjoy configuration. If you already own a cabinet and need a replacement component, establish the system and fitting first. Those are different purchase decisions.
Is Tchibo CN3 still available?
Do not assume that every CN3 product has disappeared or that only used units remain. When checked on 12 October 2026, Tchibo's product page for CN3 sideboard 200801 displayed a current offer and “Auf Lager”. It describes two repositionable flap compartments with metal scissor hinges, adjustable feet and combination with other elements of the CN3 series.
That is evidence about one listing at one time. It is not a promise that every CN3 model, spare part, colour or delivery destination is available, or that parts will remain available for years. Check the exact article number, selected variant, destination and current delivery conditions before ordering. A used CN3 unit may have different fittings from the model currently offered.
Compare the complete cabinet, not only its appearance
Record these fields for each option before comparing prices:
| Field | What to check |
|---|---|
| Identity | Manufacturer, series, article number and selected variant |
| Outside dimensions | Width, height including feet, and depth including projecting fittings |
| Usable space | Interior clearance for the actual objects, not only a nominal grid size |
| Fronts | Number and type of doors or flaps, opening direction and required movement space |
| Delivery scope | Complete cabinet or components; included feet, fittings, tools and assembly |
| Delivered total | Currency, applicable taxes, shipping and any agreed installation charges |
| Later changes | Matched components and instructions actually available for that model |
A photograph does not verify a hinge, connector, load rating or inside dimension. Check the product drawing and applicable instructions, and compare the door movement with your walkway, nearby wall and sockets. Do not transfer a nominal USM module or a Klackjoy tube length to the outside dimensions of CN3.
Can CN3 be combined with USM Haller or Klackjoy?
The Tchibo listing describes combination within its CN3 series. It does not establish that CN3 parts fit USM Haller or Klackjoy. A similar metal appearance is not a part specification.
For an existing cabinet, record the system identification, generation information, bay position, fitting and parts retained. Confirm the proposed replacement with the relevant supplier before purchasing or modifying a working unit. Klackjoy's existing USM-Haller-compatible component offering concerns that system; it does not make CN3 a supported replacement target. A 3D preview cannot inspect your old connectors or certify a mixed-brand assembly.
Which option is cheaper?
Compare written, current quotes for the same usable layout and destination. A CN3 product price, an original USM complete cabinet and a Klackjoy component configuration can include different fronts, fittings, assembly and delivery. A catalogue price alone does not establish the delivered difference.
This comparison does not claim a fixed percentage saving. The alternatives comparison helps separate whole-cabinet choice from extending an existing system. Use the dimensions guide for nominal-versus-overall planning, not as a measurement certificate for CN3.
Your next step
For a new complete cabinet, take the model drawing and the table above to your room measurements. For a replacement or extension, first verify the existing system and selected component. To explore a separate Klackjoy layout, use the Klackjoy configurator. It plans Klackjoy furniture, not an official USM or CN3 order, and does not guarantee CN3 fit or future stock.
