A nightstand keeps a lamp, a phone and a book within reach of the bed. The choices come down to size, how many drawers you want, whether you need power outlets built in, and what the top is made of. Listings also differ on how they state weight limits, so it helps to read them closely.
The six nightstands below range from a slim 15.6 inch wide charging model to a solid acacia wood table. Sizes, materials and weight limits come from each product’s listing page, and weight limits are the makers’ own figures. We have not used these nightstands ourselves.
