What height should a bedside table be?

Match the top of the bedside table to the top of your mattress, or keep it a little higher so you can reach a lamp, a glass of water and your phone without stretching. Our bedside tables are listed around 18–20 inches high; if your mattress sits higher or lower, measure the finished bed height and ask us about a custom height.

Are your bedside tables made of solid wood?

Yes. Our bedside table product pages list the wood as solid Indian teak wood (Sagwan), with a PU polish. Always read the material line on the product page before you order. If you need a particular wood, such as sheesham, confirm it with us on WhatsApp (+91-7838834141) and get it in your order confirmation.

Do you make sheesham wood bedside tables?

Our current bedside table listings specify solid Indian teak (Sagwan). Sheesham is a popular hardwood for beds and other furniture in India. If you want a bedside table in sheesham to match a sheesham bed, WhatsApp us with the design and size; on many designs we can discuss a custom wood. Read our guides to sheesham wood beds and sheesham vs teak vs mango for how the woods compare.

How many drawers do I need in a bedside table?

One drawer is enough for a phone, glasses and a few small items. Two drawers separate daily items from extras. Three drawers suit a shared bedside or a room with no other bedroom storage. Our range includes one-, two- and three-drawer designs; check the photos on each product page for the layout.

What warranty do your bedside tables have?

Our products come with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing and workmanship defects under normal household use. Natural wood movement, such as seasonal cracks in solid wood, and damage from incorrect assembly or installation by the customer are not covered. The full terms are on our Store Policies page.

Can I see bedside tables at your Delhi showroom?

Yes. Our showroom is at Gate No. 4, Shastri Park, Shahdara, Delhi 110053. WhatsApp +91-7838834141 before you visit so we can tell you which bedside table designs and finishes you can see that day.

Do you deliver bedside tables outside Delhi?

Yes, we deliver pan-India. Orders are usually shipped within 7 working days, and shipping is free at checkout (some state or area charges may apply). Delivery is at the ground floor of the building, and outside Delhi/NCR transport is handled by our logistics partners.

Solid wood bedside table buying guide for Indian bedrooms

A bedside table sits within arm's reach of the bed, so it has to be the right height, the right width for your room, and strong enough for a lamp, a book and nightly clutter. This buying guide explains how to choose a solid wood bedside table for an Indian bedroom: height against the mattress, size and clearance, drawers and storage, what "solid wood" means on our product pages (including sheesham vs teak), care in Indian weather, and warranty. Every product detail below comes from our own product pages and store policies.

Solid wood bedside table in a natural teak finish with a single drawer and tapered legs, beside a bed with white bedding, on a light floor — Our Solid Wood Bedside Table India: solid Indian teak (Sagwan), PU polish, listed at about 20H x 18W x 16D inches

Step 1: Match the bedside table height to your mattress

The top of the bedside table should sit level with the top of your mattress, or a little above it. If the table is much lower, you will reach down for the lamp and phone; if it is much higher, the lamp can glare into your eyes.

Measure the finished bed height: mattress plus any under-bed base or storage. Do not measure only the empty bed frame.
Our listed heights: most of our bedside tables are listed at about 18 inches or 20 inches high (standard sizes on the product pages).
Custom height: if your mattress sits higher after a thick topper, or lower on a platform bed, ask us for a custom height before you order. See how custom furniture in Delhi works with us.

Step 2: Choose width, depth and clearance

Leave enough space to walk past the bed and open drawers without hitting the wall or wardrobe. Typical depths on our bedside tables are about 16–18 inches; widths are about 18–20 inches. Check the exact STANDARD (inch) line on the product page.

Compact rooms: an 18-inch-wide table, such as the Compact Bedside Table for Bedroom or the Wooden Bedside Table With Drawer, keeps the walkway clear.
Wider tops: a 20-inch-wide top, such as the Best Solid Wood Bedside Table or the Royal Bedside Table With Storage, gives more room for a lamp and a book.
Pairs: for a double or king bed, many buyers place matching tables on both sides. You can order two of the same design for a balanced look.

Step 3: Plan drawers and storage

Premium wooden bedside table with two drawers in a natural wood finish, shown beside a bed with storage drawers — Premium Wooden Bedside Table With 2 Drawers: solid Indian teak (Sagwan), listed at about 18H x 18W x 16D inches

Drawers keep chargers, medicines and reading glasses out of sight. Pick the layout from the product photos:

One drawer: simple and compact. See the Solid Wood Bedside Table India and the Wooden Bedside Table With Drawer.
Two drawers: separate everyday items from extras. See the Premium Wooden Bedside Table With 2 Drawers and the Wooden Bedside Table With 2 Drawers.
Three drawers: more storage when the bedroom has no other cabinet nearby. See the Bedside Table With 3 Drawers.
Open shelf plus drawer: some designs combine a drawer with open storage for books. Check the photos on each solid wood bedside tables listing.

Step 4: Solid wood, teak and sheesham — read the material line

"Solid wood bedside table" and "sheesham wood bedside table" are common search phrases in India. On our bedside table product pages, the wood line lists solid Indian teak wood (Sagwan) with a PU polish. That is different from our wooden beds, where sheesham is a main listing wood.

Teak (Sagwan) on our bedside tables: dense hardwood with a straight grain and a PU polish that is easy to wipe. Every bedside product we checked for this guide lists this material line.
Sheesham: a popular hardwood for Indian beds and dining, with a bold grain. Read sheesham wood bed features and our comparison of sheesham vs teak vs mango wood. If you want a bedside table in sheesham to match a sheesham bed, ask us before you order.
PU polish: protects the wood and makes daily dusting easier.
Confirm before you pay: if you need a particular wood, finish or size, get it in writing on WhatsApp and in the order confirmation.

Step 5: Pair the bedside table with your wooden bed

A bedside table works best when its height, finish and wood story match the bed. Browse our modern wooden beds for sheesham and storage beds, and read hydraulic vs box storage if you are choosing a storage bed. Then pick a bedside table whose listed height sits near the mattress top and whose finish sits comfortably next to the bed frame.

Caring for a solid wood bedside table

These tips follow normal solid-wood care for Indian weather:

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
Wipe spills at once with a slightly damp cloth, then dry the surface.
Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive pads that can scratch the PU polish.
Keep the table away from constant damp, dripping AC units and direct, harsh sunlight.

Solid wood expands and contracts with the seasons. Small seasonal movement is normal; damage from wrong assembly or installation by the customer is not covered under warranty.
