Is a wide or narrow bedside table better?

A wider table holds a lamp, books and a phone together. A narrower one leaves more walking space between the bed and the wall.

How wide are your bedside tables?

Fourteen of our bedside tables list 18 inches wide and two list 20 inches wide.

How much space should I leave beside the bed?

Leave enough room to walk past and open a wardrobe or door. Measure the gap from the bed to the wall before you choose.

Does a 20 inch table suit a small bedroom?

It can, if there is room on both sides of the bed. In a tight room, an 18 inch table is easier to fit.

How deep are your bedside tables?

Fifteen list 16 inches deep and one lists 18 inches.
