What to check before buying light wood nightstand

Start with the finish. ‘Light wood’ covers all three here: the AWASEN is natural rubberwood, the YOSHOOT is natural oak and the MaxSmeo is natural with a rattan drawer. Second, measure the space beside the bed and the height of your mattress top. The heights are 21.6 in (AWASEN), 23.6 in (MaxSmeo) and 25.6 in (YOSHOOT), a spread of 4 in (25.6 − 21.6). Third, footprint. The AWASEN and MaxSmeo are both about 1.29 sq ft, while the YOSHOOT is 2.4 sq ft, 1.11 sq ft more (2.4 − 1.29). Fourth, storage. The AWASEN lists a drawer of 6.3 × 14.6 × 10.3 in plus an open shelf, the MaxSmeo a rattan drawer of 9.4 × 14 × 4.7 in plus a top shelf, and the YOSHOOT a drawer plus a large open shelf with no drawer size given. Check the drawer sizes against what you will store. Fifth, check charging. Only the YOSHOOT lists 2 AC outlets and 2 USB ports on the tabletop. Sixth, load rating. Only the YOSHOOT states one, a 50 pound maximum recommendation, and it lists a 33 pound item weight. The other two do not state a capacity. Seventh, material. The AWASEN lists thickened MDF boards with solid wood legs, the MaxSmeo lists solid wood and a premium density board, and the YOSHOOT is engineered wood. Choose between them on style: fluted wood and an open shelf for the AWASEN, a rattan drawer and extra top shelf for the MaxSmeo. Pick the YOSHOOT if you want charging and a stated rating and have room for 2.4 sq ft. Assembly: all three say instructions are included, and the YOSHOOT adds that tools are included.

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.

• AWASEN Fluted Nightstand: 36 − 15.8 = 20.2 inches spare; centred, 10.1 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• YOSHOOT Modern Nightstand with Drawer: 36 − 22 = 14 inches spare; centred, 7 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• MaxSmeo Modern Nightstand Rattan Side End: 36 − 15.7 = 20.3 inches spare; centred, 10.15 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:

• AWASEN Fluted Nightstand: 36 + 11.8 = 47.8 inches of total path width.
• YOSHOOT Modern Nightstand with Drawer: 36 + 15.7 = 51.7 inches of total path width.
• MaxSmeo Modern Nightstand Rattan Side End: 36 + 11.8 = 47.8 inches of total path width.

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

• AWASEN Fluted Nightstand: 11.8 × 15.8 = 186.44 sq in, or 1.29 sq ft.
• YOSHOOT Modern Nightstand with Drawer: 15.7 × 22 = 345.4 sq in, or 2.4 sq ft.
• MaxSmeo Modern Nightstand Rattan Side End: 11.8 × 15.7 = 185.26 sq in, or 1.29 sq ft.

Mistakes to avoid

• Assuming light wood means solid wood. The YOSHOOT is engineered wood, and the AWASEN body is thickened MDF with solid wood legs. Read the material line, not just the finish.
• Ignoring height. The three range from 21.6 in to 25.6 in. Measure your mattress top before choosing.
• Expecting deep drawer space. The MaxSmeo rattan drawer is 4.7 in high, and the AWASEN drawer is 6.3 in deep. Compare them with what you plan to store.
• Counting on charging without checking reach. The YOSHOOT lists 2 AC outlets and 2 USB ports, but you still need a wall outlet near the bed.

Frequently asked questions

Which light wood nightstand has charging?

Only the YOSHOOT. Its listing says the tabletop has 2 AC outlets and 2 USB ports. The AWASEN and MaxSmeo listings in the listing data mention no outlets. The YOSHOOT is also the largest, at 2.4 sq ft.

Which is the smallest?

The AWASEN and MaxSmeo are effectively tied at about 1.29 sq ft, with widths of 15.8 in and 15.7 in. The YOSHOOT is 2.4 sq ft and 22 in wide. The MaxSmeo is 2 in taller than the AWASEN (23.6 − 21.6).

Do the listings state a weight capacity?

Only the YOSHOOT does: a 50 pound maximum weight recommendation, with an item weight of 33 pounds. The AWASEN and MaxSmeo list neither a capacity nor an item weight, so ask the seller before putting heavy items on them.
