Night Stand Materials

Create just the right atmosphere in your bedroom and accent your existing furniture with a night stand that you will enjoy for many years. Choosing the material of your night stand will be a good first step toward finding a good match. Woo Me with Wood Wood night stands are very popular and are available in many wood types and finishes. Painted nightstands are typically not solid wood unless noted. Most wood nightstands feature some solid wood construction, particularly on the top, drawer fronts, and feet. Try to match the finish of your wood nightstand to your wood bedroom furniture as closely as possible for the perfect bedside accent. Wood nightstands are available in many styles, including traditional, contemporary, cottage, mission, and more.

Not So Heavy Metal
Metal night stands are typically made out of aluminum or wrought iron for a decorative look. These are available in a wide variety of finishes. Unless metal is very prominent in your bedroom, it will not be as important to match the metals in your room to your metal night stand. Also, metal night stands do not typically include drawers but instead have open shelving.

Heart of Glass
Glass is a popular component of many night stands. Many wood and metal nightstands feature glass shelves or accents. For wood night stands, the glass is usually used on top of the wood surface as a material protector. Most metal night stands include glass in the design as a more lightweight and functional shelf.

Wicker Man
Wicker night stands provide a charming cottage character for your bedroom. Sometimes crafted from a plastic material that looks like wicker, these nightstands are very durable yet lightweight. Wicker nightstands are an ideal accent for lakeside cabins and for bedrooms with a Southern or East Coast flair.
