Round Nightstands

Bedrooms are where people walk in the dark, and a rounded corner is kinder to a shin than a square one. These nightstands carry that idea through the whole form, with circular tops, curved legs and edges eased by hand rather than run past a router in one pass.

Each measures 22 inches wide, 20 high and 14 deep. Compare that height with your mattress top: a nightstand level with the mattress or an inch or two below puts a glass of water within easy reach without looming over the pillow. The same four finishes run through the range, black, oak, brown and walnut. Oak keeps the grain open and pale, walnut runs darker with more figure, brown sits between them, and black reduces the piece to its silhouette, which suits a busy headboard. The bases differ too, some on curved legs that leave the floor visible and some on a closed plinth that reads heavier and hides what is under the bed.

One thing to know: at 14 inches deep these are made to sit beside a bed, not to hold a printer or a stack of books. Each one arrives with the top and base packed separately, which keeps the curved edges safe and lowers the cost of moving it. Instructions are printed and included.
