Whether you're looking for additional storage or style is your number-one priority, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for in this fantastic nightstands selection.

VASAGLE Nightstand with Adjustable Mesh Shelves
Vintage Meets Modern Design
If you haven’t caught the bug for industrial-chic design, you will after seeing these nightstands. I love how flexible and versatile the VASAGLE nightstand can be.

- The sturdy frames can be positioned flat or slanted to give you more storage options

Frequently Asked Questions
Should nightstands be higher than the bed?
While there isn’t a standard nightstand height, generally, most styles are a bit higher than the bed. The idea for this is because while you’re resting in bed, it’s easier to raise your arms than to lower them. Usually, the rule of thumb is to find a nightstand that levels with the top of your mattress or is at least 2 to 6 inches higher.
How far should a nightstand be from the bed?
While this is a personal choice, you don’t want too much space between your bed and the nightstand. Remember, nightstands are where you place your phone, night lamp, and other necessities that you want handy while resting in bed. The ideal separation should be at least 3 inches between your bed and your bedside table.
