Nightstands
A nightstand should sit level with the top of the mattress, or up to two inches above it. Below mattress height means reaching down in the dark, which is the single most common complaint about a bedside table that otherwise looks right.
Allow 24 inches of clear floor beside the bed. In a tight bedroom a wall-mounted shelf at mattress height does the same job in no floor space at all. Every piece is made to order.
