Our best overall pick, the Andover Mills Rushville 3-Drawer Solid Wood Nightstand, is handcrafted of sturdy acacia wood, has three drawers, and is available in both neutral and bold colors. Here are the best nightstands. The Rushville 3-Drawer Solid Wood Nightstand is our favorite nightstand because it has a classic design that lends well to any bedroom decor and it’s already assembled out of the box. It’s handcrafted from renewed acacia wood that was sustainably sourced, so you can also feel good about purchasing it. The three drawers add a decent amount of storage space, so you’ll have plenty of room for beside essentials and more. This table is also available in nine colors so you can choose one that blends in seamlessly with your room or use it to add a pop of color, like turquoise or orange. Keep in mind that this dresser is designed for shorter bed frames, so if you have a thick mattress, it may not be the best height for you. This nightstand is also much more expensive than other options available, but despite its price, we think it’s a great option for anyone looking for a nightstand with plenty of storage and multiple colors available. The painted white matte finish gives this floating nightstand a clean finish, and also makes it easy to wipe down if you need to. If you want to add to the look, you can pair it with the Lane Storage Mirror Shelf and the Lane Cubby Mirror Shelf to create a bedside storage space that doubles as wall art. The two drawers offer plenty of storage, so you can store everything from glasses to your latest read with ease. Plus, each nightstand is unique thanks to natural wood color variations throughout. Additional details, like an antique nickel drawer pull and X-patterned sides, add to the charm, while the lower storage space and single drawer give you just the right amount of additional space next to your bed. It has one tab-pull drawer and an open compartment on the bottom, so in addition to adding some style to your room, it also gives you a place to stow away some bedside necessities. And each one is handmade to order, so you’ll get a truly custom piece.
Style
Style is a personal preference, but it also plays into how your nightstand will fit and look in your bedroom. If you have a small area, rounded or narrow nightstands may be the best option since they increase surface area without a bulky design. You’ll also want to consider whether you want closed drawers or doors or if open shelving is enough to suit your needs.
Assembly
Many nightstands require assembly, so make sure to keep that in mind when choosing one. Some only require you to place the top on the legs in a one-step process, while others are more of an involved one to two hour process. Make sure you’re aware of how much time and effort is required in putting the nightstands together, and enlist some help if a two-person assembly is noted.
