How tall should a bedside table be?
The bedside table top should sit 5-10cm below the mattress top. For a standard queen bed (with frame + mattress totalling 60-65cm tall), a 50-55cm bedside table works best. For ensemble or storage beds (70-75cm tall), use a 60-65cm bedside table.
What Most Furniture Sites Won't Admit
Almost every bedside table sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam or Malaysia — including ours. We import in bulk, hold stock in our Australian warehouses, and ship from there.
Second truth: drawer slides are the part that fails first. Cheap bedside tables use metal-on-wood runners that stick after 1-2 years. Quality bedside tables use ball-bearing slides rated for 50,000+ open-close cycles. Always check the drawer slide type before buying.
