Cons
- Some reviewers with the drawer opened smoother
Okay, we may be a BIT biased on this one, but hear us out! This elegant nightstand comes in nine colors (this terracotta is def a standout), so you can add a little color to your space without it clashing with your home decor. The square table also has tons of storage space, thanks to its extra-large drawer. You read that correctly, it might look like it has two drawers, but it’s actually just one big drawer, so you can fit all your odds and ends in there without cluttering up your bedroom.
THE REVIEW: “I am very happy with this nightstand! I bought two. They are sturdy and were easy to put together,” writes a tester. “I had been looking for nightstands that were as tall as the top of my mattress and had a large enough top to hold a lamp, my phone, and books, without being crowded. These do the trick!”

- Some reviewers say that the color wasn’t as photographed
Full disclosure: this set of two nightstands is also available in singles (one black oak and rattan nightstand costs $115), but it’s so cute, you’ll wanna get the set: One for the right side and one for the left, or one for your bedroom and one for your living room. Really, these end tables can go anywhere and still look good thanks to their classic and clean design.
THE REVIEW: “I love them. They go perfectly with my bedroom decor. Easy to put together, I did it by myself,” one tester writes. “Whenever I need furniture, I’ll check out Nathan James for stylish and affordable options. Highly recommend!”

- No drawers means no storage space
Calling all my small bedroom/studio ppl! This mid-century modern nightstand doesn’t have much storage space, but what it lacks in drawers, it makes up for in beauty. Just look at that copper top design! The table top might look small in the photo, but it’s sizable enough to fit all your nighttime essentials, and it looks good while doing it.
THE REVIEW: “The craftsmanship on this copper table is just great,” writes one reviewer. “It’s beautiful, well constructed, and the vibes are it.”

- Many reviewers note that it seems smaller in person
For those of you who enjoy a less traditional look, acrylic nightstands are the way to go. This two-tier table gives you a little bit of storage space while adding a pop of color to your room. The table also comes in orange, black, yellow, and clear, so you can mix and match to your heart’s delight.

Cons
- Nearby outlet required
This 3-in-1 nightstand makes charging your devices overnight easy thanks to its built-in charging station, which includes two AC outlets and two USB ports. It also has a nice open shelf illuminated by a customizable LED light for easy organization. Oh, and there are three (!!!) drawers for extra storage.
THE REVIEW: “Super cute and functional nightstand. The three drawers are fairly decent in size and hold a good amount of odds and ends,” writes a reviewer. “The charging ports on top were a big selling point for me and I’m very happy with how they work. I have a Bluetooth desk lamp, phone, and wireless earbuds all connected and its very organized. The LED color backlight comes with a little remote and it offers nice mood lighting.”

- It’s too short for some raised beds
There is nothing worse than bumping into furniture, which is why this knob-free nightstand is a godsend. Its sleek, modern look offers plenty of storage space and comes in three color combos: black and oak, white and oak, and black and white.
THE REVIEW: “Great little nightstand. Easy to assemble, fast delivery,” writes a tester. “Just what I needed for a small apartment bedroom. Clean lines, well made.”

Cons
- Some reviewers found the quality lacking
This glass nightstand adds glamour to a standard two-shelf design with its chrome finish and open design. Note: You’ll find no privacy here, but what you lose in secrets, you gain in style. My favorite feature of this nightstand is that the shelves are removable, so it’s super easy to clean dust and clean.
THE REVIEW: “I was looking for a small glam/modern end table because I don’t have a lot of space and don’t want things looking cramped,” one reviewer writes. “This was easy to put together and is stable enough on my carpet to hold my grandmother’s stained glass lamp.”

A good, dependable nightstand doesn’t need all the bells and whistles. All it needs is a solid surface area and sturdy construction, which this simple, yet sophisticated two-tier nightstand definitely has.

- The cost-to-storage ratio
There’s something about this nightstand that just screams luxury to me. I don’t know if it’s the geometric black and white pattern, elegant brass finish on the hardware, or the simple design—maybe it’s all three—but looking at it, I’m confident this nightstand would immediately step up anyone’s home decor game.

Cons
- Some reviewers feel the table was flimsier than they hoped
Sometimes, less is more, and this minimal nightstand option is proof of that. The simple round table is deceptively strong, with a 75 lb weight limit, so it’s the perfect accessory for those who like to read in bed. It has enough room for a reading light and is sturdy enough to take on a big pile of books without tipping over.
THE REVIEW: “This table was quick and easy to put together. I like the unique looking design, natural bamboo legs and the white surface,” writes a tester. “It’s also a perfect height next to a big chair. I put it next to my kid’s couch and then next to my bed and it’s a good height for those areas.”

Warning: this floating nightstand isn’t exactly renter-friendly. But if you own a home or just love to live life on the edge, it’s a unique option. I mean, what’s not to like about a nightstand that (1) has storage space and (2) looks like it’s being held up by magic?

- Some reviewers complain that it can be easily damaged in transit
I am so happy that the mid-century trend is here to stay. This solid wood piece will for sure stand the test of time while it sits nicely next to your bed. The one drawer/one shelf design makes for ample storage and will allow you to keep some bedtime necessities private (*wink, wink*). Plus, it comes almost completely assembled, so you don’t even have to be handy to have a great nightstand.

This bb has three drawers and a generous rectangle tabletop, so it’s perfect for those that like to have their phone, chargers, their computer, books, meds, an extra sweater or two, and vibrators within reach at all times. I certainly know it helps me sleep better at night…
THE REVIEW: “Super cute! Ordered two and they are great bedside tables with lots of storage. Heavy and sturdy enough that I’m not worrying about my toddler tipping them over,” writes a reviewer. “Assembly was easy and directions were very clear.”

- Finish shows fingerprint smudges easily, but is easy to clean
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some neutral bedding. But without a little *pizazz*, a neutral color palette in the bedroom walks a fine line between bedroom and hospital. This statement side table will add just enough color and texture without overwhelming you or your space. And the two-drawer storage doesn’t hurt either.

Cons
- Color might not be exactly as pictured
These half-circle nightstands look like a small liquor cabinet—in the best possible way. The round brass knobs and white-washed wood coloring only make the nightstand look even more luxe. Behind those cabinets is enough shelf space to hide an extra blanket, your electronics, or an emergency stuffed animal if need be. It’s not hard to see why it’s got that hefty price tag…
THE REVIEW: “These nightstands are exactly what I was looking for to complete my aesthetic for my master bedroom. I love them,” writes a reviewer. “Great quality and timeless design. Very clean and elegant feeling. They also provide functionality with a deep drawer and full cabinet capacity.”
