Nightstands & Chests
The pieces that keep you company at both ends of the day: the bedside table where the lamp clicks off after one more chapter, and the chest of drawers that holds your favorite sweaters.
We've gathered handcrafted iron, wood and mixed-material bedside tables, chests and cabinets, each chosen for the way it fits the rhythm of a bedroom, with the right height, a comfortable footprint and enough character to hold its own beside a beautiful iron bed.
Before You Order
Choosing Nightstands & Chests
The best bedroom storage feels effortless: everything is within reach, and nothing is in the way.
Match the Mattress Height
A nightstand usually feels most natural when its top sits within a few inches of the top of the mattress. Many measure about 24–28 inches tall, so measure your bed, mattress and foundation first.
Plan the Chest Wall
Measure the wall, then leave room in front for drawers to open fully with space to stand. Check nearby windows, outlets and door swings before choosing between a long, low chest and a taller one.
Decide on Storage
Deep drawers suit sweaters and linens; shallow ones keep jewelry and small things tidy. Bedside, open shelves hold books and baskets, and a simple tabletop is all you need when a lamp will do.
Styling the Bedroom
Pairs, Mixes & Finishing Touches
There's no single right way to dress a bedroom. Here are a few of our favorite approaches.
The Matching Pair
Two identical nightstands and a pair of lamps frame an iron bed with calm, classic symmetry, especially in a primary bedroom.
The Collected Look
Mix pieces that share a height, finish or material. An iron nightstand beside a warm wood dresser feels personal, as if the room came together over time.
The Chest Top
A mirror above, a lamp to one side and a small tray for rings and watches turn a chest of drawers into one of the loveliest corners of the room.
Finish the Room
Complete the Bedroom
Add a lamp's warm glow, a mirror to catch the morning light and a tray for the little things you set down at night.
Common Questions
Nightstand & Chest FAQs
How tall should a nightstand be?
Most people find a nightstand comfortable when its top sits within a few inches of the top of the mattress. Iron beds, mattresses and foundations vary in height, so measure your own bed before ordering and compare it with the height listed on the product page.
Do my nightstands and chest have to match?
Not at all. Matching pieces feel classic, while pieces that share a height, finish or material can make the room feel collected over time.
How much space should I leave in front of a chest or dresser?
Leave enough room for every drawer to open fully with space to stand comfortably in front of it. Also check that the piece won't block windows, outlets, vents or door swings.
Can an end table, chest or cupboard work in the bedroom?
Yes. Many of the pieces in this collection are also end tables, chests or cupboards. We've gathered the designs whose size and storage suit the bedroom. You can also browse all of our Side & Accent Tables and Cabinets & Sideboards.
Do dressers and tall chests need to be anchored to the wall?
Tall, heavy or top-heavy pieces may need to be anchored, especially in homes with children. Always follow the safety and anchoring instructions included with each product.
