A side drawer table is a small table beside a sofa, bed or chair that has at least one drawer for keeping essentials close at hand. This guide compares six side drawer table listings from our product pack. It uses only what those listings state, including drawer count, size, weight limit, materials, charging ports and assembly. Where a listing does not state a value, the table shows “not stated.” The Caredear is a round coffee table with a hidden drawer, so it is included as a close alternative.
Quick answer
- For a nightstand with built-in charging, the NestGlorien listing describes three drawers, two AC outlets, a Type-C port and a USB port at the back.
- For a solid wood option with a drawer and an open shelf, the Aomorcos listing states 100% solid rubberwood and a 100-pound limit.
- For a woven rattan look with a drawer and open shelf, the Lerliuo listing describes a natural wood frame with a rattan drawer front.
- For a compact kids or nursery table with two tiers, the Aenuert listing states a 25-pound limit on its dividers and a blue finish.
How to choose a side drawer table
Begin with where the table will sit. A side table beside a sofa arm needs a height that matches the arm, and a bedside table needs room for a lamp and a glass. The listings in this guide range from about 20 inches tall to nearly 24 inches, so measure the height you need before you compare drawers.
Next, count the drawers and check what else the table has. Some listings have one drawer and an open shelf. Others have two or three drawers, or a drawer plus a charging station. The NestGlorien is the only listing that describes charging ports at the back of the unit, and the Huuger describes two AC outlets, a USB port and a Type-C port. If you need to charge a phone by the bed, that is the main deciding factor.
Last, check the weight limit and the material. The listings state limits from 20 pounds to 100 pounds, and the materials range from solid wood and rubberwood to particle board with a powder-coated steel frame. The table below sets out what each listing states.
Drawers, storage and charging
The NestGlorien listing describes three drawers in a solid wood unit, and the listing gives its size as 13 inches wide, 18.9 inches deep and 23.5 inches high. It is a narrow nightstand that the listing says fits compact corners. Its charging ports sit at the back, which keeps cords out of sight.
The Huuger listing describes two fabric drawers and an open shelf, with 2 AC outlets, 1 USB port and 1 Type-C port. Its listing says the drawer slides are patent pending, and its frame is a powder-coated steel with a P2 particle board top. Its footprint is 11.8 by 15.7 inches, and it stands 23.6 inches high.
The Lerliuo listing describes one woven drawer and an open shelf, with a size of 15.94 inches long, 11.81 inches deep and 22.87 inches high. The Aomorcos describes one smooth-glide drawer with a round metal knob and a bottom open shelf, with an internal drawer size of 4 inches wide, 12.3 inches deep and 2.6 inches high. The Caredear is a round coffee table with a hidden sliding drawer and a 20-inch diameter, and the listing says it has about 10.6 inches of ground clearance.
Materials and finish
Materials decide how the table will look and how it will wear. The Aomorcos listing describes 100% solid rubberwood with a medium oak tone finish. The NestGlorien describes solid wood with a walnut finish and zinc alloy drawer pulls, with Roman fluted legs. The Lerliuo describes wood boards and beech legs, with a rattan drawer and top. The Caredear describes natural rubber wood. The Aenuert describes high-quality MDF with a fine-grained woodgrain veneer in blue. The Huuger describes a particle board top and a powder-coated steel frame.
For cleaning, the Huuger listing says to wipe the surface with a damp cloth. The other listings do not state a full cleaning method in the pack, so check each product page before you buy if cleaning is a concern.
Assembly and set-up
Assembly differs across the set. The NestGlorien arrives nearly preassembled and needs only the four legs twisted in, and its listing says it takes minutes. The Aomorcos drawer and table body come pre-assembled, and its listing says four legs need 12 screws with all tools and instructions included, in under 15 minutes. The Aenuert listing says an accessory kit and instructions are included. The Huuger listing says the tools and numbered parts make assembly straightforward, and the Lerliuo says its screws are labeled and packed in separate bags. The Caredear listing says a screwdriver is the recommended tool for assembly.
Who each option suits
A person who needs to charge a phone by the bed will suit the NestGlorien or the Huuger. The NestGlorien suits a solid wood look with three drawers, and the Huuger suits a modern look with a steel frame and fabric drawers.
A person who wants a solid wood side table with one drawer and a shelf for a book or a lamp will suit the Aomorcos. Its 100-pound limit is the highest stated among the nightstands in this set.
A person who wants a natural, woven look for a living room or bedroom will suit the Lerliuo. Its listing describes a rattan drawer front and a natural wood frame, and it says the table can be used in a living room, bedroom or office.
A family with a child who needs a small nursery table will suit the Aenuert. Its listing describes a two-tier design and a blue finish, and it says the table can also serve as a desk or display shelf.
A person who wants a round coffee table with a hidden drawer will suit the Caredear. It is a close alternative rather than a bedside table, and its listing describes a 20-inch round top and a 30-pound limit.

Review: NestGlorien Solid Wood Nightstand in depth
The NestGlorien listing is the one in this set that combines solid wood, three drawers and charging, so it is the one to check against a bedside plan. The listing describes a unit that is 13 inches wide, 18.9 inches deep and 23.5 inches high, which the listing says fits into a compact corner. The spec sheet gives an item weight of 15 pounds and a maximum weight recommendation of 20 pounds.
The top is described as rubber wood, and the frame is described as solid wood with a walnut colour. The listing says the legs are Roman fluted, with a bow-front silhouette and smooth curved edges. The drawer pulls are zinc alloy. The listing says the table arrives nearly preassembled, and the legs are attached with provided hardware and an Allen wrench.
The charging station sits at the back of the unit, with two standard AC outlets, a Type-C port and a USB port. The listing says the ports are placed discreetly, which keeps cords out of view. It states that the unit works as a bedside table with a charging station, an entryway accent or a sofa side table.
Two close alternatives are worth a look. The Huuger has a similar charging layout and a 2-drawer design in steel and engineered wood, which is a lighter option. The Aomorcos is a solid wood table with one drawer and a shelf, and it states a 100-pound limit, so it suits a heavier item on the top. Choose the NestGlorien when you want three drawers and charging in solid wood, and choose the Aomorcos when the weight limit matters more than the drawer count.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not assume every side table has charging. Only the NestGlorien and the Huuger describe charging ports in the pack. The Lerliuo, Aenuert and Aomorcos do not.
Do not treat the weight limits as the same thing. The NestGlorien states 20 pounds, the Aenuert states 25 pounds for its dividers, and the Aomorcos and Lerliuo state 100 pounds. Check the figure that applies to the part you plan to load.
Do not expect the Caredear to act like a nightstand. Its listing describes a round coffee table with a hidden drawer, and its 30-pound limit suits a light load on a sofa side.
Check the height against your seat. The Aenuert is 20.9 inches high, while the Aomorcos is 24 inches. A table that is too low can be hard to reach from a bed or sofa.
