You probably don’t give too much thought to choosing a bedside table, but it can be one of the most important furniture pieces in your bedroom. This is because they give you somewhere to set all those things that are used by you, and possibly your partner, in the bedroom during the day or night.

Below are some important points to consider when purchasing a bedside table.

Size

Your bedside table can be designed in many different ways and come in different sizes. You may have a tall, medium and small sized bedside tables or even just one. Whatever you decide on, it is important that it fits easily into the room so that you don’t have to keep taking the whole thing out of your bedroom every time you want to get something off of it.

If you have more than one bedside table, try to make sure that at least one is the same height so that they can be pulled together. This will make the bedroom look better and also mean your bedroom is a safe place to keep your most prized possessions.

Height

If you are using a small sized or tall sized bedside table then make sure it is not too high. Some tall tables can be dangerous if they are too high, especially if you have children in the house. If you are using a small table, make sure that it is not too low. This will mean that when you want to get something off of it you will have to bend over a lot and could cause back pain if used for long enough.

Shape

Tables can come in many different shapes and some may be better for your requirements than others. If you have a very small space to work with in your bedroom then a round or oval shaped bedside table may be better than one that is rectangular.
