The Pierce Nightstand
Size: 22"W x 18"D x 29"H | Best Features: USB ports - Power outlets
If all you’ll need out of a bedside table is somewhere to place your reading glasses and phone, then all you’ll really need is a simple design, and the Pierce Nightstand, a one-drawer customer favorite, is as simple as it gets. It’s so simple, in fact, that it doesn’t really look like a nightstand and can really be used as an end table (shown above, it’s pictured with a daybed in a living room) as well; but either as end table or bedside table, it gets the job done. Best features include a light wood finish, two USB ports and two power outlets.
Pierce Nightstand: Featured Customer Reviews
“This was the perfect election to go along with my new bed that had the drawers that pull out. This night stand was design to allow you to place this next to the bed and still have access to your drawers. Perfect selection” - Totally Happy Customer
“I purchased 2 night stands. As soon as I seen them in the store placed to the bed and bench I bought from Living Spaces a year ago I knew they would be a perfect fit. I bought the whole set :) (2 night stands and the dresser!) They are sturdy, yet slick and stylish. The drawer is deep enough to hold my laptop, books, and knick knacks. The plugs and USB are so convenient. Overall just a really great solid product.” - SadeP
The Pierce 3-Drawer Nightstand
Size: 32"W x 18"D x 29.5"H | Best Features: USB ports - Power outlets
Like its one-drawer counterpart (the Pierce 1-Drawer Nightstand, above), the Pierce 3-Drawer Nightstand draws a steady current of customers thanks to its warm wood finish and tech savvy features. Two USB ports, two power outlets, a modern design, an incredible amount of storage space (did we mention the three drawers?) that spans 30 inches high and a minimalist silhouette all crown the Pierce 3-Drawer as perhaps the highest-reigning monarch over all other nightstands out there. Other features include hardwood solids and oak veneers construction, plus English dovetail drawers with ball bearing drawer glides for easy drawer slide mechanism.

Draper Nightstand: Featured Customer Reviews
“Amazing Quality, Perfect size for urban Living. Velvet lined drawers and solid wood.” - Konnor
“This nightstand is well constructed and holds a ton of stuff. I’m so glad I upgraded from my old junkie one.” - Mary123457
The Austen Chest
Size: 36"W x 18"D x 36"H | Best Feature: Large drawers
Less mid-century than the Austen Night Table (to start with, the Austen Chest’s legs are shorter, less bold and more contemporary than mid-century as opposed to the Austen Night Table’s), the Austen Chest trades a statement base for a more practical statement: tons of storage space. Spanning 36”, this design has got two big-and-tall drawers for stashing anything and everything you need bedside. Technically, the Austen Chest is designed as part of the same collection as the Austen Night Table (#5 on this list), but it also works beautifully on its own, especially when paired with the Austen bed, which features a black stain finish to match.
Austen Chest: Featured Customer Reviews
“Amazing as nightstands! Ordered two of these to work as nightstands for a king bed. They come fully assembled so no building required. They look amazing and have plenty of space.” - Aarnash
“I bought two for nightstands and I love them. They’re so functional and look amazing” - Rols
The Jaxon Nightstand
Size: 26"W x 18"D x 28"H | Best Feature: Pull-out tray
At first sight, the decorative x overlays, stubby legs, warm brown color and pewter drawer pulls grab your attention, but the inside of the Jaxon is where things start to get more interesting (and practical). The top segment of this nightstand (just above the first drawer) contains a pull-out tray for holding a glass of water, book and reading glasses – making each of those things easier to access. Other winning features include two spacious drawers for storage and a traditional aged grey finish.

Common Questions About Choosing the Best Nightstands
What are the key design elements to consider when selecting a nightstand to complement my bedroom decor?
When choosing a nightstand, think about the overall aesthetic of your bedroom. Consider the material – whether it's wood, metal, or glass – and how it harmonizes with your bed frame and other furniture. The style, from minimalist to ornate, should also echo your personal taste, while the finish can add a touch of warmth or sleekness.
How can I effectively plan the layout and ensure my nightstand fits well in my bedroom space?
Measure the space around your bed carefully to determine the ideal nightstand dimensions, ensuring it doesn't overpower or feel too small for the room. Consider its height in relation to your mattress – it should be roughly the same height or slightly lower for easy access. Think about the proximity to your bed and any walkways to ensure comfortable movement.
What are the pros and cons of different nightstand materials, like wood versus metal?
Wooden nightstands offer a classic, warm feel and come in various finishes to match your decor, often providing ample storage. Metal nightstands, on the other hand, can lend a modern, industrial, or even glamorous touch and are typically very durable, though they might offer less warmth. Consider durability, maintenance, and the overall vibe you want to create.
Are there nightstand options that are particularly well-suited for households with children or pets?
For homes with little ones or furry friends, opt for nightstands with rounded edges to prevent bumps and scrapes, and consider materials that are easy to clean and resistant to scratches. Drawer styles that have safety stops can also be a wise choice to prevent accidental tipping. Look for sturdy construction that can withstand a bit of playful interaction.
What makes a nightstand a good long-term investment in terms of durability and style?
A truly valuable nightstand is built with quality materials and solid construction, ensuring it withstands daily use for years to come. Timeless designs that transcend fleeting trends are also key; a classic silhouette in a versatile finish will remain stylish through various bedroom makeovers. Investing in a piece that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing guarantees lasting satisfaction.
