Keep your kids' bedtime routine organized with a nightstand designed just for them. Having a place for your kids to store their favorite storybooks, toys, and other nighttime essentials makes bedtime hassle-free, making a kids' nightstand a key component of their bedroom furniture setup.
There are a few factors to consider in order to find the best bedside table for your little one. Use this guide to find the perfect nightstand for your little one.
Ask yourself the following questions before you start searching for a nightstand. The answers to these questions will help narrow your search.
1.
What is the total height of your child’s bed, including the frame and mattress? They’ll need a nightstand level with their bed, so they have easy access to it.
2.
How much space is available on either side of the bed? This determines the width of the nightstand and if you can have a matching set.
3.
How much storage space do you need? A nightstand that doubles as a chest of drawers is perfect for rooms with limited space, while a tabletop nightstand works well in rooms that need space for a bedside lamp or clock.
4.
What other items do you need space for in the room? If you need space for a floor lamp, bedside fan, or other furnishings, you might need a smaller nightstand.
Nightstand Height
Low Nighstand
Typically less than 23” tall and pair best with low bed frames.
Standard Nightstand
24”-28” tall, they work well with standard beds.
Tall Nightstand/Chest
Higher than 30”, these are a good choice for taller beds.
Nightstand Width
Narrow nightstands
Less than 20” wide, these styles look best next to a twin bed or in small rooms.
Standard nightstands
Between 21” to 28” wide, this size is ideal for pairing with full- or queen-sized beds.

Types of Nightstands
Chest
A chest-style nightstand typically features two to three drawers for extra storage space, essentially appearing as a mini dresser.
Cabinets
Similar to a bedside chest, cabinets offer extra storage. Instead of featuring multiple drawers, they tend to have a single drawer situated above a cabinet.
Table
A table nightstand is the most simplistic iteration of a nightstand. A bedside table is used for holding the basics, like a lamp and alarm clock.
