Dark Brown Bedside Table

This guide covers dark brown bedside tables and nightstands that fit a small bedroom corner. The links on this page are Amazon affiliate links, and we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases.

Quick answer

For a dark brown bedside table in a small space, pick a narrow table with one drawer and an open shelf. The 15.4-inch dark walnut tables from RIHHA and FurniXpress take about 1.26 square feet of floor and stand 22.8 inches high. If you need more drawers and built-in charging, the espresso WLIVE table holds three drawers, but it takes about 2.49 square feet and stands 29.06 inches high. The Apicizon Dark Brown round table has no drawer and suits a space that needs a small surface beside a bed or chair. Measure the floor space and the height of your bed before you choose.

What counts as dark brown here

This guide includes only tables whose listed colour is dark brown or a close dark wood tone. The sellers use four names: Dark Brown (Apicizon), Dark Walnut (RIHHA and FurniXpress), Espresso (WLIVE) and Walnut Brown (Veegle). Walnut Brown and Dark Walnut are seller names rather than colour codes, so the exact shade may vary between photos and screens. Check the product photos under the lighting you use at home.

At a glance

Floor area is width times depth, divided by 144 to convert square inches to square feet. For example, the Veegle table is 15.75 × 11.81 = 186.0 square inches, which is 1.29 square feet.

Choose by floor space, height and storage

Three measurements do most of the work in a small room.

• Floor space. The narrow tables are about 15 inches wide and 11.8 inches deep. Two of the 15.4-inch tables side by side need 30.8 inches of wall (2 × 15.4 = 30.8, or about 2.6 feet). One WLIVE table needs 22.99 inches of wall. Measure the wall before you choose.
• Height. The Apicizon table stands 20.5 inches high, the 15.4-inch RIHHA and FurniXpress tables 22.8 inches, the JOONEE table 24.45 inches, the Veegle table 26.22 inches and the WLIVE table 29.06 inches. The WLIVE table is 6.26 inches taller than the RIHHA tables (29.06 − 22.8 = 6.26), and the Veegle table is 3.42 inches taller (26.22 − 22.8 = 3.42).
• Storage. The WLIVE table has three drawers. The JOONEE table has two drawers and two doors. The RIHHA and FurniXpress tables have one drawer and a lower open shelf. The Apicizon round table has no drawer, so it stores nothing out of sight.

The round table without drawers

The Apicizon table is the only round table in this guide, and it has no drawer. A circle with a 16.5-inch diameter has an area of about 213.8 square inches (π × 8.25 × 8.25), or 1.48 square feet. The square box around it is 1.89 square feet, so the round top uses less of the floor than its listed width suggests.

• Size: 16.5 inches deep, 16.5 inches wide and 20.5 inches high; the bullets give 16.5 inches in diameter and 20.5 inches in height

• Round edge and non-slip rubber pads on the base
• Maximum weight recommendation: 50 pounds

Limits: The listing does not state a drawer, a shelf or a charging feature. It does not give the table’s own weight.

Drawer and shelf tables, 15.4 inches wide

The RIHHA and FurniXpress tables share the same listed size: 11.8 inches deep, 15.4 inches wide and 22.8 inches high. They suit a corner where floor space is tight. The woven front on one RIHHA table and the fluted fronts on the other two change the look, not the footprint.

• Item weight: 16.5 pounds
• Maximum weight recommendation: 25 pounds, which the bullets describe as the tabletop limit

• Item weight: 14.3 pounds

FurniXpress Small Dark Walnut Nightstand, 15 Inches Wide, Drawer and Shelf, Fluted

• Size: 11.8 inches deep, 15.4 inches wide and 22.8 inches high

• Item weight: 14.8 pounds

Limits: The two weight figures conflict. The specification field gives a maximum of 40 pounds, and a bullet gives 25 pounds for the tabletop. The listing does not say which figure applies to the tabletop.

Taller storage: the espresso three-drawer table

The WLIVE table is the largest in this guide. At 15.59 inches deep and 22.99 inches wide, it takes 358.4 square inches (15.59 × 22.99), or 2.49 square feet, which is about twice the floor of a 15.4-inch table. It is also the tallest, at 29.06 inches. It suits a bedroom with room beside the bed, or a living room or office, where the bullets say it can serve as a side table or storage cabinet.

• Charging: two AC outlets and two USB ports
• Item weight: 39.4 pounds
• Maximum weight recommendation: 110 pounds
• Assembly: the bullets say tools and numbered parts are included, with clear instructions

Limits: The listing does not state the power rating of the outlets or the length of the cord.

Two drawers, charging and LED

The JOONEE table has two drawers, and its listing names a charging station and LED lights. It is the shallowest table in this guide, at 11.42 inches deep, and it has the smallest floor area at 1.22 square feet (11.42 × 15.35 = 175.3 square inches). Its size fields conflict, so measure the table against your space before you order.

JOONEE Walnut Brown Nightstand with Charging Station and LED Lights, 2 Drawers

• Size: 11.42 inches deep, 15.35 inches wide and 24.45 inches high in the product dimensions; the size field gives 15.7 by 11.8 by 25.2 inches

• Frame material: engineered wood; the bullets say MDF board with a pine leg
• Storage: two drawers and two doors, with an open wood shelf
• Handles: metal, listed in gold
• Item weight: 16 pounds
• Assembly: numbered parts and a guide; the listing recommends a screwdriver

Limits: The height differs by 0.75 inch between the two size fields (24.45 against 25.2), and the width by 0.35 inch (15.35 against 15.7). The listing does not state a maximum weight limit. The title names a charging station and LED lights, but the bullets do not state the number of outlets or the brightness of the light.

Weight and tabletop load

Only some of these listings state a load figure, and they do not all describe it the same way. The Apicizon table is rated at 50 pounds. The WLIVE table is rated at 110 pounds. The fluted RIHHA table shows 25 pounds, and its bullets describe that as the tabletop limit. The woven RIHHA and the FurniXpress tables each show 40 pounds in the specification and 25 pounds for the tabletop in a bullet. The Veegle and JOONEE listings do not state a weight limit. Where a listing gives two figures, plan around the lower one.

Assembly and set-up checks

• Apicizon: four parts, no tools, about five minutes, according to the listing.
• WLIVE: numbered parts and instructions, with tools included according to the bullets.
• Veegle and JOONEE: numbered parts, instructions included, and a screwdriver or Allen key recommended.
• Fluted RIHHA and FurniXpress: the listings recommend a screwdriver, and FurniXpress also lists a hammer. The fluted RIHHA specification says no assembly is required, while its bullets describe numbered parts and instructions.
• Woven RIHHA: the listing does not name tools, and its bullets say basic tools may be needed and are not included.

Before you buy, check the tools you have at home, because the listings do not all agree on whether tools are included.

Are these tables the same colour as the photos?
