Nightstands by Ashley

A nightstand, or bedside table, is an essential component in every bedroom. Whether you’re looking for a white nightstand, black nightstand, or even a mirrored nightstand, Ashley has what you need to create the bedroom of your dreams.

What Is a Nightstand?

A nightstand is a functional, convenient piece of furniture that provides a surface for you to keep important items close at hand. Modern nightstands are available in a variety of materials, such as a metal nightstand, glass nightstand, or a wood nightstand. Ashley also carries a variety of styles like a mid-century modern nightstand, a rustic nightstand, and a farmhouse nightstand. Choose from a small nightstand for small bedrooms to an entire nightstand set or 3-drawer nightstand for spacious rooms. Nightstands can be included in a bedroom set or purchased independently.

How Tall Should a Nightstand Be?

Whether you prefer a floating nightstand or a traditional nightstand, the general consensus among professional decorators is that nightstands should be from 24 to 36 inches off the floor. This is because the average height of a mattress is 25 inches.

What Do You Put On a Nightstand?

A nightstand is the perfect spot to place anything you’d like to keep within arm’s reach. Common nightstand objects include table lamps, books, remotes, watches, and phones. It is also the perfect surface to display picture frames and other decorative items.
