Why Invest in Solid Wood Bedside Tables?

Furniture trends come and go. Walk into any homeware store and you’ll see a huge range of bedside tables, from modern metal designs to intricate antique-style pieces. Here at the Natural Bed Company, our solid wood bedside tables have always been incredibly popular — and with good reason. If you want furniture that will continue to look great for years to come, investing in solid timber is well worth considering. Here are some of the reasons why.

To Match Your Bed

One of the main reasons customers choose our bedside tables is to complement their bed frame. We offer a wide range of handmade wooden bedside tables, all crafted in our Sheffield workshop and available in the same beautiful hardwood timbers as our beds.

These include:

Camden ta bles — available with or without drawers, and in two different heights, to perfectly complement the gorgeous curved legs of the beds in our Camden collection.
Cube tables — available in three heights. Their simple, versatile design pairs beautifully with many of our beds, including the Malabar, Sahara, Tibet and Java.
Sahara drawer tables — featuring chunky legs, these tables work perfectly with our straight-leg beds, including the Malabar and Bamford.
Cochin drawer tables — with delicate tapered legs, these bedside cabinets are ideal companions for our Cochin and Dalston beds. The Cochin table is also available without a drawer.
Kyoto tables — available with either a drawer or shelf, these tables look fantastic alongside our minimalist Kyoto beds.
Oregon table — low and understated, this table is ideal if you have a statement bed like the Oregon and don’t want your bedside furniture to compete for attention.
Tibet tables — originally designed for the Tibet bed, this simple table looks great with any medium-height bed and also works well as a side table in other rooms.
Nevada table — available in two heights. With square legs and a classic tabletop design, the Nevada is ideal if you want a low table with plenty of character.

Customisation Options

Another advantage of choosing solid timber bedside tables from the Natural Bed Company is the ability to customise them.

While we generally work from our existing designs rather than creating entirely bespoke pieces, we may be able to adjust dimensions to suit your space. If you need a specific height or a narrower design for a smaller room, we’d be happy to discuss the options with you.

Strength and Durability

Solid wood bedroom furniture is exceptionally strong and durable. It requires very little maintenance, and small dents or scratches can often be repaired. This means your bedside tables can last far longer than cheaper, mass-produced alternatives.

Their durability also makes solid wood furniture a more sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. Buying furniture that lasts for decades reduces waste and can save money in the long run too.

Timeless Design

Interior trends may change over time, but a classic wooden bedside table will never go out of style. Even if you redecorate or move house in the future, solid wood furniture remains versatile enough to suit changing interiors.

Quality Craftsmanship

When you buy a mass-produced piece of furniture, you are buying one of thousands. When you choose one of our solid wood bedside tables, you know it has been carefully handcrafted by one of our skilled woodworkers specifically for you.
