Fairfax Gray Nightstand

Yes, this nightstand is particularly well-suited for modern high-profile beds. Many contemporary mattresses, especially those with thick pillow-tops or those used on adjustable bases, sit higher than traditional sets. The 28.5-inch height ensures your bedside essentials remain at a natural reaching level, preventing the need to reach downward from a tall mattress.

While this piece is part of the coordinated Cindy Crawford Fairfax collection—which includes a matching dresser and master chest—its contemporary design also functions as a versatile standalone piece. The gray oak veneer and industrial metal hardware allow it to pair seamlessly with upholstered headboards or even metal bed frames. Mixing different textures, like a soft fabric bed with this structured wood nightstand, can create a sophisticated and curated bedroom aesthetic.

Standing at 28.5 inches tall, this nightstand is designed to sit comfortably alongside standard and high-profile beds. For the best ergonomic experience, we recommend a mattress that sits between 24 and 30 inches off the floor. This ensures the nightstand surface remains within 2 to 4 inches of your mattress height, allowing for easy access to your phone or water glass during the night.

This nightstand features high-quality drawer construction designed for longevity. The drawers are built with both front and back English dovetail joints, a hallmark of fine furniture that provides exceptional strength and prevents the drawer box from warping over time. Additionally, the ball-bearing full-extension glides ensure a smooth, premium opening and closing experience while providing access to every inch of storage.

With a 28-inch width, this nightstand offers a substantial presence and significant storage capacity, making it a great fit for primary suites. For smaller city apartments or narrow bedrooms, we recommend measuring your floor space to ensure there is enough clearance to utilize the full-extension drawers. If your room is particularly tight, you might consider an open-post or narrower alternative to maintain a sense of openness.

To maintain the alluring gray finish, our expertise suggests regular dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth. For minor stains, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water, immediately followed by a dry cloth to prevent moisture from sitting on the veneer. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish and dull the oak’s natural texture.
