1. Lerliuo Rattan Nightstand, Boho Side Table with Drawer Open Shelf — Middle listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 11.81″ D × 15.94″ W × 22.87″ H; item weight 7 pounds; listed maximum weight 100 pounds; material Wood; color Natural.

The listing sells this as a boho rattan nightstand with one drawer and an open shelf. Listed dimensions are 11.81 inches deep, 15.94 inches wide and 22.87 inches tall, and the item weight is 7 pounds. The top material is listed as beech and rattan, the frame as wood, and the drawer front is described as cane decorated with a woven mesh look. The bullets say the legs and drawer handle are handmade solid wood and that the piece can sit in a bedroom, living room or office. The specs also list a 100-pound maximum weight recommendation, the highest stated load figure among the three.

Pros

• Lists a 100-pound maximum weight recommendation, the highest stated load of the three
• Weighs 7 pounds per the specs, lighter than the 9.5-pound Simple Trending table
• One drawer plus an open shelf gives both closed and open storage in a 1.31 sq ft footprint (11.81 x 15.94 / 144)

Cons

• Drawer interior size is not stated, so whether it holds a charger block or a book is unknown
• At 22.87 inches tall it is the lowest of the three, 2.72 inches below the JOONEE (25.59 – 22.87), which matters beside a high mattress
• The listing mixes ‘beech and rattan’ with ‘sturdy wood boards’ and never says whether the boards are solid or engineered

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it if you want a lighter boho bedside piece with a drawer and a stated load rating. Skip it if your mattress top sits higher than about 23 inches or you need to know the drawer’s interior size.

2. JOONEE Nightstand,Modern Bedside Table with Storage Drawer and Open Wood Shelf, for Living Room, Bedroom and Small Spaces, Accent Night Stand with Solid Wood Legs, Easy Assembly,Walnut Brown — Largest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 11.81″ D × 16.3″ W × 25.59″ H; material Engineered Wood; color Walnut Brown.

JOONEE lists a walnut brown modern nightstand with one storage drawer and an open wood shelf. Dimensions are 11.81 inches deep, 16.3 inches wide and 25.59 inches tall. The specs call the material engineered wood, and a bullet adds MDF board with pine legs and anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom. The listing pitches it for remote controls, glasses and medicines kept close at hand. One bullet quotes a slightly different size, 16.5 by 11.8 by 25.6 inches, so the width differs by 0.2 inch (16.5 – 16.3) between fields. Item weight and maximum weight are not listed.

Pros

• Tallest of the three at 25.59 inches, 1.59 inches above the Simple Trending table (25.59 – 24)
• Bullets mention anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom, which the other two listings do not
• Has both a drawer and an open shelf, like the Lerliuo, with the largest listed footprint at 1.34 sq ft

Cons

• No item weight and no maximum weight recommendation, so the load limit of the top and shelf is unknown
• Width appears as 16.3 inches in the specs and 16.5 inches in a bullet, so check the current listing before you measure a gap
• Engineered wood and MDF construction per the listing, with no stated thickness or finish detail

Who it is for / who should skip it: A fit for someone who wants the tallest option with a drawer and a modern walnut look. Skip it if you need a published weight rating.

3. Simple Trending Side Table, End Table with 3 Tiers Open Shelves, Bedside Table for Sofa Couch, Nightstand, Living Room, Bedroom, Rustic Brown — Smallest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 11.8″ D × 15.75″ W × 24″ H; item weight 9.5 pounds; listed maximum weight 50 pounds; material Wood; color Rustic Brown.

Simple Trending sells this as a side table with three open tiers, and it doubles as a nightstand per the title. Listed size is 11.8 inches deep, 15.75 inches wide and 24 inches tall, with an item weight of 9.5 pounds and a 50-pound maximum weight recommendation. The frame and top are listed as wood in a rustic brown finish. Bullets mention X-shaped side reinforcement and adjustable glides under the base. There is no drawer: the spec table lists no drawer count and every tier is open. The bullets suggest vases, lamps, candles and photo frames for display.

Pros

• Smallest listed footprint at 1.29 sq ft (11.8 x 15.75 / 144)
• Lists X-shaped side reinforcement and adjustable glides, which help on a floor that is not level
• Three open tiers give the most separate shelf levels of the three

Cons

• No drawer, so everything stored here is visible, including cords and medicine
• The 50-pound maximum weight recommendation is half the Lerliuo’s 100 pounds
• Marketed first as a living room side table, with the nightstand use mentioned second

Who it is for / who should skip it: Choose it for a tight spot where display and open shelves matter more than hidden storage. Skip it if you want a drawer or higher load capacity.

What to check before buying open shelf nightstand

Start with height, because a nightstand that sits far below the mattress top is awkward to reach. The listings give 22.87, 24 and 25.59 inches. Measure your mattress top and aim for a nightstand within a few inches of it. The listings do not state mattress compatibility, so this is your measurement to take.

Next, decide how much of your bedside stuff should be hidden. The Lerliuo and JOONEE each have one drawer plus an open shelf, so a charger, medicine or reading glasses can be out of sight. The Simple Trending has three open tiers and no drawer, so it suits display items better than clutter.

Then check the load figures. Only two listings state anything: 100 pounds for the Lerliuo and 50 pounds for the Simple Trending. The JOONEE lists neither item weight nor maximum weight. If you plan to put a lamp, a stack of books and a water glass on it, treat the missing figure as unknown and verify on the current listing.

Footprint is nearly identical. The three sit between 1.29 and 1.34 sq ft, a gap of 0.05 sq ft (1.34 – 1.29), so do not choose on floor space. Check the width against the gap between bed and wall instead, and note that the JOONEE shows 16.3 inches in the specs and 16.5 inches in a bullet.

Finally, look at materials. The Lerliuo is described with rattan, beech and wood boards, the JOONEE with MDF and pine legs, and the Simple Trending as wood. Treat these as the seller’s descriptions and verify anything you care about, such as solid versus engineered construction.

Worked example: fit math for these three options

This worked example is our own planning arithmetic from the listed dimensions, not test results. The wall length and walkway width are assumed example values; replace them with your measurements.

Wall example. Assume 36 inches of clear wall.

• Lerliuo Rattan Nightstand: 36 − 15.94 = 20.06 inches spare; centred, 10.03 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• JOONEE Nightstand: 36 − 16.3 = 19.7 inches spare; centred, 9.85 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• Simple Trending Side Table: 36 − 15.75 = 20.25 inches spare; centred, 10.12 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.

Walkway example. The US Access Board gives 36 inches as the minimum clear width for an accessible route. That figure is a yardstick, not a rule for private homes. To keep 36 inches clear beside each product, the walkway between it and the opposite obstacle must be at least 36 inches plus its depth:

• Lerliuo Rattan Nightstand: 36 + 11.81 = 47.81 inches of total path width.
• JOONEE Nightstand: 36 + 11.81 = 47.81 inches of total path width.
• Simple Trending Side Table: 36 + 11.8 = 47.8 inches of total path width.

Footprint. Depth × width, converted at 144 square inches per square foot:

• Lerliuo Rattan Nightstand: 11.81 × 15.94 = 188.25 sq in, or 1.31 sq ft.
• JOONEE Nightstand: 11.81 × 16.3 = 192.5 sq in, or 1.34 sq ft.
• Simple Trending Side Table: 11.8 × 15.75 = 185.85 sq in, or 1.29 sq ft.

Mistakes to avoid

• Buying by look, not by mattress height. At 22.87 to 25.59 inches, the three differ by 2.72 inches. Measure your mattress top first.
• Assuming open shelf means roomy. The listings give outside dimensions only, so the clear height between shelf and drawer is unknown. Check the product images for scale.
• Ignoring missing load ratings. The JOONEE lists no maximum weight, and the Simple Trending lists 50 pounds. A lamp plus books can add up.
• Treating a side table as a nightstand. The Simple Trending has no drawer, so cords, pills and small items stay on view.

Frequently asked questions

What height should an open shelf nightstand be?

Aim for a top within a few inches of your mattress surface so you can reach it from bed. The listings do not state bed compatibility, so measure your own mattress top before you decide.

Do any of these open shelf nightstands have a drawer?

Yes. The Lerliuo and JOONEE each list one drawer plus an open shelf. The Simple Trending lists three open tiers and does not list a drawer count. If hidden storage matters, take one of the first two and check the current listing.

How much weight can an open shelf nightstand hold?

The Lerliuo lists a 100-pound maximum weight recommendation and the Simple Trending lists 50 pounds. The JOONEE lists no maximum. Check the current listing for the exact limit and whether it applies to the top, the shelf or the whole piece.

Will these fit in a narrow space beside a bed?

Widths are 15.94, 16.3 and 15.75 inches, and depths are 11.81, 11.81 and 11.8 inches. Footprints are nearly identical at 1.29 to 1.34 sq ft. Measure the gap beside your bed and leave room to open the drawer, where one is listed.
