Handcrafted with fine gunmetal iron mesh and exposed brass welding, CB2’s two-cube tower is the epitome of industrial-warehouse chic. But, it also comes finished in a striking gold powder coat variation too, if you want something a bit more glam.
The set of two cubbies rises in single file to about two feet, which is a comfortable height for most bedside furniture. Don’t stress if a remodel or a move is in your near future; the Sift is so lightweight that you can reposition it around the room with total ease.

Crafted in India from solid mango wood in a natural finish, the Wyatt Nightstand—an exclusive item to Urban Outfitters—is a perfect combination of sleek form and practical function. With tapered legs that extend elegantly from the smooth tabletop, the super-sophisticated silhouette is versatile enough to live bedside, or anywhere else in the house you might want. And since it weighs in at under 10 pounds, it’s easy to move around. Due to natural variations in the wood graining and color, each piece is one-of-a-kind too, so you’re getting a unique piece at a high-street price.

A mounted shelf is a strategic way to maximize precious real estate in a cramped bedroom, as it takes up no floor space whatsoever. And Pottery Barn Teen’s attractive Lane drawer shelves are perfectly suited for tiny spaces where a freestanding nightstand might not fit, such as a kid’s bedroom.
There’s no compromise on space either. You’ll still get a nice, compact drawer to stash your nighttime essentials (with clean metal hardware for the opening), as well as a top cubby for more storage. The medium density fiberboard drawers are painted in matte white, with an eco-friendly water-based finish, meaning this nightstand is good for modern homes.

With its small footprint and streamlined design, this nightstand is an easy winner for whenever your bedroom needs a refresh. There’s a spacious bottom cubby to store larger items and a smooth-gliding top drawer that opens with a subtle metal-lined square hole.
Its interiors are wrapped in vinyl for extra durability, and the clean white-painted finish of the frame is balanced with a warm ash wood surface—which has enough room for your essentials, such as a glass of water, phone and eyeglasses.

Priced one cent less than a hundred buckaroos, this mighty IKEA nightstand—part of the brand’s elegant Idanäs furniture series—is a popular pick for its affordability and timeless design.

What is it about this stylish single-drawer nightstand that makes it look double its price? Is it the premium finish? The wider frame? The sturdy construction? Whatever it is, we’re in love. But perhaps most of all because it’s a breeze to assemble, thanks to the inclusion of slide-on moldings. It features a lower open shelf that lets you store everything from books to electronic gadgets, and handy a drawer that smoothly opens and closes on metal runners.
You can also add in an optional wireless charging station for all your electronics—though you’ll need to pay an extra fee.
