Kids Bedside Tables

About Kids Bedside Tables

A bed table for kids is an excellent piece for any child. This small table sits right next to a kids' bed and performs not only general storage but holds what they need right before they go to sleep and just after they wake up. They come in a wide variety of colours and themes to match whatever kids' furniture & bedding they already have. 

Advantages

Extra Storage Space

It seems kids are always collecting more books, toys, souvenirs, and clothing. Having a piece of furniture dedicated to holding what they need regularly can help ensure everything has its place and improve the organisation in the room. It can hold various objects but is best at keeping all the little items that seem to get lost in larger kids' wardrobes and drawers. 

Keep What They Want Close

Some objects can be safely tucked away into kids' drawers and forgotten about until they're needed. Other items are regularly required and best kept at the ready. When children know where essential items are, they'll feel safer. 

For example, having a night light close by on the kid's night table will remind them that they'll be safe throughout the night. The furniture could also hold items like a cup of water at bedtime, a favourite stuffed animal, and more. 

Make Bunk Beds Safer

One of the dangers of bunk beds is when children regularly go up and down in the middle of the night in the dark. But if everything they need is on the ground, and they can't quickly reach a light, this is the exact scenario that will play out time and time again. 

Thankfully, a bedside table for a bunk bed will keep everything they need close, minimising how often they need to get down. It can also include a lamp so that the child can do so safely when they get down at night. 

Types

Mirror

Most often seen with a girls' bedside table design, a mirror table cuts out the need for an extra mirror or an entire vanity. A mirror bed table for kids is ideal for when kids get a little older, are concerned with their appearance, and keep their favourite products on the table and get ready there. 

Fabric or Plastic Bedside Table

Bedside tables made of fabric are perfect for young children. As they're playing around the room, the sharp edges of a kids' side table can spell disaster. But with fabric, the danger is minimised, and they can get back to playing and moving around as they'd like. 

Plastic is also a good choice as it is easy to clean. Young ones who like to get creative and messy can draw or put stickers on them and use them for snacks, while the material lets parents be sure of an easy clean-up. 

Floating

The closer a kids' night table is to the mattress, the safer it will be during the night. Unfortunately, not all rooms are large enough to accommodate a good-sized kids' side table. However, floating kids' bedside tables are easy to install and fit into just about any space. 

Bed Shelf

A bed shelf is a perfect bedside table for a bunk bed. Whether it's for a mattress on the ground to take up zero space or used for the top bunk without any installation, these are durable pieces that will firmly hold any item just next to kids mattresses. 

Features

Doors

While kids' bookcases and bookshelves are great for showing off items, not everything is for showing off. However, fitting things into drawers can be tricky with more oversized objects. Space-saving is where doors on a children's bedside table are ideal. Larger than drawers, it will easily contain anything it needs without crowding the room. 

Drawers

Drawers are perfect for storing small items. It will keep everything from remotes to hair clips easy to access, even for little ones, without stuff getting lost on a shelf. Drawers add a lot of storage to any room and maintain the utility of kids' bedside tables that will hold lamps and other items on top. 

High Tech

Technology is getting better, and now a girls' or boy's bedside table can be more than just a table. A kids' side table can include charging ports and electrical outlets. Whether a child is charging their phone or keeps a lamp plugged in far from a wall outlet, this unit keeps cords neatly organised and still features everything else a kid would need from a children's bedside table. 

Things to Consider

Before purchasing, it's advisable to measure the space between kids' bedding and the wall or the next piece of furniture. The kids' nightstand will need to fit here. A floating bed table for kids or a bed shelf is preferable for smaller spaces. 

Care and Maintenance

A kids' night table won't require too much maintenance. Like any furniture, it should get a regular dusting and a cleaning when necessary. For children with severe allergies, dusting at least once a week will keep dust mites from being too close to the bed. Also, for a wood kids' nightstand, make sure they don't put any cups with condensation on the table to avoid rings.
