If you’re not much of a handyperson, you’ll also be grateful for the SwitchLock Assembly System, which is said to reduce assembly time almost in half (though two adults are still recommended).

The one-drawer nightstand has a shelf on the bottom — ideal for objets d’art or magazines and books — and the ringed legs, shiplap drawer, and brushed steel handle are versatile enough to blend into a variety of decor schemes. Assembly is required here, but should only take about 30 minutes.

For a lamp-cum-phone charger, we adore this slim shelf with two USB ports and an outlet in a classy gold finish. Installation is pretty straightforward (you won’t need an electrician) and two USB ports and an outlet for powering the adjustable light make this great for next to your bed, or even an office space.

A matching cord cover is included to hide the bulk of the lamp’s wiring. Design-wise, this piece looks especially nice if you buy one for each side of your bed.
