About Nightstands
By Your Side, Day and Night
Whether you’re shopping for an owner’s suite (master bedroom), guest bedroom, or even a child’s bedroom, nightstands are one of the most useful pieces of furniture in which you can invest. Perfect for hosting additional light sources like a lamp, necessary evils like an alarm clock, or something more benign like reading glasses, nightstands are almost a necessity when it comes to your bedroom furniture.
How to Maintain Your Used Vintage Nightstand
Purchasing used nightstands can pay off in the long run if you can properly maintain the furniture. Even simply using a dry or nearly dry soft cloth to prevent dust build-up can help keep your furniture looking beautiful and clean, though this of course depends on the nightstand’s material and hardware.
How to Find a Used Nightstand Online
When shopping for used nightstands online, you may find it difficult to pinpoint your style. However, your search should actually start with function. What size nightstand do you need? Do you need more than one? And if so, do they need to match? In addition, consider the amount of storage you need beneath. Some nightstands have exposed shelves or tiers on which you can display a stack of your favorite books or a houseplant. For those with small children or pets in the home, however, having covered storage may be more of an ideal solution. But is one drawer enough? Perhaps 2 or 3 would be a better fit depending on the items you prefer to keep close to you.
Nightstand Alternatives
For a larger bedroom and/or additional storage, a chest of drawers may be another option. You can find many unique, high-quality styles that will match your aesthetic and fit your needs. And if your ideal nightstand need only feature a tabletop rather than drawers or extra storage, you can also search for end tables or even benches.
