RRP: $99.95

Handcrafted with fine gunmetal iron mesh and exposed brass welding, CB2’s two-cube tower is the epitome of industrial-warehouse chic. But, it also comes finished in a striking gold powder coat variation too, if you want something a bit more glam. 

The set of two cubbies rises in single file to about two feet, which is a comfortable height for most bedside furniture. Don’t stress if a remodel or a move is in your near future; the Sift is so lightweight that you can reposition it around the room with total ease.

Crafted in India from solid mango wood in a natural finish, the Wyatt Nightstand—an exclusive item to Urban Outfitters—is a perfect combination of sleek form and practical function. With tapered legs that extend elegantly from the smooth tabletop, the super-sophisticated silhouette is versatile enough to live bedside, or anywhere else in the house you might want. And since it weighs in at under 10 pounds, it’s easy to move around. Due to natural variations in the wood graining and color, each piece is one-of-a-kind too, so you're getting a unique piece at a high-street price.

3. PB Teen Lane Drawer Shelf

Specifications

RRP: $99

A mounted shelf is a strategic way to maximize precious real estate in a cramped bedroom, as it takes up no floor space whatsoever. And Pottery Barn Teen’s attractive Lane drawer shelves are perfectly suited for tiny spaces where a freestanding nightstand might not fit, such as a kid's bedroom. 

There's no compromise on space either. You’ll still get a nice, compact drawer to stash your nighttime essentials (with clean metal hardware for the opening), as well as a top cubby for more storage. The medium density fiberboard drawers are painted in matte white, with an eco-friendly water-based finish, meaning this nightstand is good for modern homes.

Its interiors are wrapped in vinyl for extra durability, and the clean white-painted finish of the frame is balanced with a warm ash wood surface—which has enough room for your essentials, such as a glass of water, phone and eyeglasses.
