Adelaide White Nightstand

The drawer in this nightstand is built using French dovetail construction, a hallmark of high-quality cabinetry. This technique creates an incredibly strong joint that is specifically designed to resist the forces applied when pulling the drawer open, ensuring the front panel remains securely attached for years. When combined with its side-mounted metal glides, the drawer offers a consistently smooth and durable operation.

This nightstand has a width of 24 inches. In professional interior design, scale is critical for visual balance. While very narrow tables can look undersized next to a large bed, a 24-inch width provides a substantial presence that complements both Queen and King-sized mattresses perfectly, providing ample surface area for a lamp, phone, and decorative accents.

This nightstand features a distressed white finish with intentional rub-through along the edges, making it an excellent choice for coastal, cottage, or farmhouse-inspired interiors often found in regions like Florida or the Gulf Coast. The rustic aesthetic is naturally forgiving; unlike high-gloss finishes, the distressed look gracefully handles the character of daily use and maintains its vintage elegance over time.

To preserve the integrity of the rub-through finish, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For minor spills, a cloth dampened with a mixture of mild soap and water is sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes, as these can strip the protective coating and alter the intentional vintage appearance of the wood.

For optimal comfort and accessibility, a nightstand should ideally be level with or within two to four inches of the top of your mattress. This nightstand stands at 26.75 inches tall, making it a perfect match for standard bed frames and modern mattresses, which typically sit between 24 and 28 inches high. This ensures your bedside essentials are always within easy reach while you're lying down.

This piece is strategically designed to balance open and closed storage. It features a single drawer for concealing personal items and bedside clutter, along with a spacious open shelf. Based on our design expertise, this lower shelf is particularly useful for accommodating larger items that require easy access or ventilation, such as a CPAP machine, a basket of linens, or a stack of books.
