Bedside Tables

(1364 products)

Bedside tables keep a lamp, phone and book within reach. Choose between drawers for hidden storage, open shelves, compact styles for small rooms and matching pairs for either side of the bed. Aim for a top that sits near mattress height, and check the width leaves room to get in and out of bed. Coordinate with bed frames, dressers or a full bedroom set.

How to choose bedside tables

Drawers, shelves or a mix

Most of the range uses drawers, from a single drawer up to three. Two drawers suit most people: one for chargers and glasses, one for books and odds and ends. Open shelves are handy if you like grabbing things in the dark, and a few styles combine both.

Height and width

Measure from the floor to the top of your mattress and look for a table within about 5 cm of that. On width, 40 to 50 cm is plenty for a lamp and a phone. In a tight room, check you still have at least 60 cm of walking space beside the bed.

Materials and finishes

  • Engineered wood: the most common option, light and affordable, in white, black, grey and wood tones.
  • Timber: heavier and warmer looking, including pine finishes.
  • Metal, glass or PU leather: for a more modern or upholstered look.

Extras worth a look

A handful of tables have built in LED lights, and some include charging options, which saves running a power board to the bed. A few are wall mounted, so check the fixings and your wall type before you order.

What you will pay

Simple tables start from around $25, with most sitting around $100. Many are sold as pairs, which often works out cheaper than buying two singles. Pair yours with a bedside lamp, or match the finish to your dressing table or wardrobe.

Bedside Tables: common questions

What height should a bedside table be?

Aim for the top of the table to sit level with your mattress, or up to about 5 cm above or below it. That makes it easy to reach your phone or a glass of water while lying down. Measure your bed with the mattress on before you choose.

Do you have grey bedside tables?

Yes. Grey is one of the more common colours in the range, alongside white, black and wood tones. Use the colour filter at the top of this page to see only grey options, and check the product photos as shades vary from light grey to charcoal.

Can I buy bedside tables as a set of two?

Yes, a lot of bedside tables are listed as a pair, shown as 2x in the product name. Buying a pair keeps both sides of the bed matching and is often better value than ordering two singles.

What is the difference between a bedside table and a bedside cabinet?

There is not much in it. A bedside cabinet usually means more enclosed storage, with drawers or a door, while a bedside table can be more open with a shelf or two. Both sit next to the bed, so pick based on how much you want to hide away.

Are bedside tables hard to assemble?

Most arrive flat packed and need simple assembly, usually attaching the drawers, runners and legs with the supplied hardware. Allow 30 to 60 minutes per table. Check the product page, as some list easy assembly and some state if wall anchors are included.

Do any bedside tables have lights or charging?

A small number have LED lighting built in, and some include charging options for your phone. Filter by features or check the product description, which will say what kind of light and charging ports it has.

How much weight can a bedside table hold?

It varies by material and build. Solid timber and metal frames generally hold more than lighter engineered wood. If you plan to stack heavy books or a large lamp on top, check the weight rating on the product page where it is listed.
