What To Look For

Frequently Asked Questions
Where else can I put my nightstand?
The most common place to put a nightstand is right next to your bed. However, many people use them in other ways. It’s not uncommon to use a nightstand in the living room to store remote controls and board games, or even the bathroom to hold toiletries.
Do I need drawers?
This really depends on what you need to store inside your nightstand. If you plan on using it as a secondary dresser to hold some of your clothing, you’ll definitely want to get a nightstand with drawers. However, if you just need a sturdy space to hold your phone and evening water bottle for the night, drawers don’t seem so essential to have.
