7 Best Nightstands of the Year - The Official List
The Rowan Nightstand
Rowan Nightstand: Featured Customer Reviews
“I love this nightstand. The top drawer is shallow and perfect for stashing jewelry, glasses, etc. that i used to just lay on top of my old nightstand. It is super easy to stay organized and neat. The wood finish is rough-hewn so feels rustic but still a bit modern with clean unfussy lines. Super happy with the 3 Rowan pieces we purchased.” - lovenewfurniture
The Allen Nightstand
Size: 24"W x 18"D x 24"H | Best Features: Light finish - Minimalist design
This minimalist design brings mid-century flair with its chic tapered legs and tons of utility with two-drawer storage. From its light sandblast finish to its unique metal hardware, the Allen’s minimalist approach makes it fit for any room of the house and any household purpose where storage is needed. When it comes to the Allen, note the measurements: 24” is quite small, which is a plus for some – and a downside for others, but versatile regardless. Best features of the Allen include the solid wood construction, which makes the design heavy, durable and safe. Combine with the Allen collection of desk and bed for a complete aesthetic.
Allen Nightstand: Featured Customer Reviews
This looks exactly like the photo. The top drawer comes with a felt lined bottom. Bottom drawer is bare. The sliding rails are smooth with a nice click at the end to close tight. The wood itself has a nice grain texture to it. Really solid feel and weight; it's quite deceivingly heavy.” - Alan“Love this nightstand. I am amazed with all the room it has for each drawer. I can hold a lot of things. I thought it might be too low, but it is perfect!” - April11
“Well made, solid nightstands. Go really well with my other Allen pieces.” - James
The Pierce Nightstand
Size: 22"W x 18"D x 29"H | Best Features: USB ports - Power outlets
If all you’ll need out of a bedside table is somewhere to place your reading glasses and phone, then all you’ll really need is a simple design, and the Pierce Nightstand, a one-drawer customer favorite, is as simple as it gets. It’s so simple, in fact, that it doesn’t really look like a nightstand and can really be used as an end table (shown above, it’s pictured with a daybed in a living room) as well; but either as end table or bedside table, it gets the job done. Best features include a light wood finish, two USB ports and two power outlets.
Pierce Nightstand: Featured Customer Reviews
“This was the perfect election to go along with my new bed that had the drawers that pull out. This night stand was design to allow you to place this next to the bed and still have access to your drawers. Perfect selection” - Totally Happy Customer
“I purchased 2 night stands. As soon as I seen them in the store placed to the bed and bench I bought from Living Spaces a year ago I knew they would be a perfect fit. I bought the whole set :) (2 night stands and the dresser!) They are sturdy, yet slick and stylish. The drawer is deep enough to hold my laptop, books, and knick knacks. The plugs and USB are so convenient. Overall just a really great solid product.” - SadeP
The Pierce 3-Drawer Nightstand
Size: 32"W x 18"D x 29.5"H | Best Features: USB ports - Power outlets
Like its one-drawer counterpart (the Pierce 1-Drawer Nightstand, above), the Pierce 3-Drawer Nightstand draws a steady current of customers thanks to its warm wood finish and tech savvy features. Two USB ports, two power outlets, a modern design, an incredible amount of storage space (did we mention the three drawers?) that spans 30 inches high and a minimalist silhouette all crown the Pierce 3-Drawer as perhaps the highest-reigning monarch over all other nightstands out there. Other features include hardwood solids and oak veneers construction, plus English dovetail drawers with ball bearing drawer glides for easy drawer slide mechanism.

The Austen Night Table
Size: 27"W x 18"D x 26.5"H | Best Feature: Textured black
There are some furniture designs that contain mid-century elements and are inspired by mid-century designs, perhaps featuring a blend of mid-century and more contemporary elements. There are others that are inherently, completely, head-over-heels mid-century, breathing mid-century all over the place. The Austen Night Table falls into the latter of these categories. It does this through statement texture and angled legs, a deliciously 1960s black stain and a stacked drawer front with tiny black spheres for drawer pulls. If the mid-century look is your style, then so is the popular Austen Night Table (whose style takes up more space than the storage)!
Austen Night Table: Featured Customer Reviews
“We purchased eight pieces of the massive Austen collection and we are in love! From the tapered legs to the beautiful wood grain and solid construction, this collection is now our 'go-to' for designing spaces. It’s hard to find wide nightstands and this one holds a large lamp and other accessories. While it comes all in black, the knobs could easily be changed out for personal preference. It’s built very well and has a luxury feel without the high-end price tag.” - Elevated Home Design
“I have been searching for nightstands for the bedroom for months and the Austen is just what I have been looking for. It is sturdy weighing in at around 75 pounds and has felt-lined drawers. Self-leveling legs and beautiful finish. Beyond happy with my purchase.” - KHughes
The Austen Chest
Size: 36"W x 18"D x 36"H | Best Feature: Large drawers
Less mid-century than the Austen Night Table (to start with, the Austen Chest’s legs are shorter, less bold and more contemporary than mid-century as opposed to the Austen Night Table’s), the Austen Chest trades a statement base for a more practical statement: tons of storage space. Spanning 36”, this design has got two big-and-tall drawers for stashing anything and everything you need bedside. Technically, the Austen Chest is designed as part of the same collection as the Austen Night Table (#5 on this list), but it also works beautifully on its own, especially when paired with the Austen bed, which features a black stain finish to match.
Austen Chest: Featured Customer Reviews
“Amazing as nightstands! Ordered two of these to work as nightstands for a king bed. They come fully assembled so no building required. They look amazing and have plenty of space.” - Aarnash
“I bought two for nightstands and I love them. They’re so functional and look amazing” - Rols
The Jaxon Nightstand
Size: 26"W x 18"D x 28"H | Best Feature: Pull-out tray
At first sight, the decorative x overlays, stubby legs, warm brown color and pewter drawer pulls grab your attention, but the inside of the Jaxon is where things start to get more interesting (and practical). The top segment of this nightstand (just above the first drawer) contains a pull-out tray for holding a glass of water, book and reading glasses – making each of those things easier to access. Other winning features include two spacious drawers for storage and a traditional aged grey finish.
