Rattan bedside table

What to expect from our rattan bedside table range

We stock 9 rattan bedside tables. Every one includes at least one drawer, and all are built around a rattan element. The range spans from $38.97 to $189.43, so there is a clear entry point and a top end. Five of the nine list a width of 15.8 inches, which is a common compact size for a bedside table. The remaining four do not state a width in the product data we hold, so check the individual product page if exact dimensions matter to you.

Rattan here is used as a decorative front or panel on drawers, often paired with a solid wood or bamboo frame. That combination keeps the look light while giving the piece structure. Because rattan is a natural material, the weave pattern and colour can vary slightly between units. None of the tables are made entirely of rattan; the material mix always includes a supporting frame.

Measure the wall run and the gap beside the bed

Before you choose a rattan bedside table, measure the space between the bed and the wall, and the height of your mattress top. A bedside table usually sits level with or slightly below the mattress, so you can reach a lamp or a glass of water without stretching. If the gap is tight, a 15.8-inch-wide table may be the only size that fits without blocking a door or a wardrobe.

Also check the depth. A table that is too deep can crowd the bed, while one that is too shallow may not hold a lamp base and a book. Leave at least a hand's width between the table and the bed if you want to make the bed easily. For small rooms, consider a table with a single drawer rather than two, as it takes up less visual space. Measure twice, then compare against the product dimensions.

Drawer count and storage: what the range offers

All 9 rattan bedside tables in stock have at least one drawer. Two of the nine also include additional storage beyond the drawer, such as an open compartment or a shelf. One table has a single open shelf instead of a second drawer. Only one table in the range has three drawers, which is the highest drawer count we carry.

If you need to store larger items like a tablet or a stack of books, a table with an open shelf or a second drawer will be more useful. A single drawer is enough for chargers, glasses and a notebook. The drawer fronts are where the rattan appears, so more drawers mean more of the woven texture on show. Think about what you keep by the bed: if it is just a lamp and a phone, one drawer is plenty. If you like a clear surface, choose a table with two drawers or a shelf.

Materials and finishes in the current range

Every rattan bedside table we stock uses rattan as a decorative element. Six of the nine also list wood in the frame or legs. One table has a bamboo frame, and one includes a glass top. The wood is described as solid in some titles, but not all, so check the product page for the exact material of the legs and frame.

Rattan is a natural material that can be woven into panels or used as a full front. It is lightweight, which makes the tables easy to move, but it can be damaged by prolonged moisture. Keep them away from open windows in damp weather. Wood and bamboo frames provide stability. A glass top is easy to wipe clean but shows dust and fingerprints more readily than wood. The finishes range from natural brown to black and grayish white, so you can match your existing furniture. Always confirm the finish name on the product page, as colour names can vary.

Features to look for: power, shelves and more

Two of the nine rattan bedside tables include a power outlet and USB ports. These are built into the table, so you can charge a phone without a wall adapter. If you use a CPAP machine or a tablet at night, this feature removes the need for an extension lead. The other seven tables do not list power, so you would need a socket nearby.

One table has an open storage shelf, which is useful for a box of tissues or a magazine. Two tables list storage as a feature beyond the drawer, which may mean a cabinet or an open cubby. Only one table has three drawers, giving the most enclosed storage. None of the tables list cable management, so plan where the charging cable will run. If you want a clean look, choose a table with a drawer to hide small items, and use the top for a lamp. Check the product page for the exact feature set, as titles can be abbreviated.

Limits of this guide

This guide describes the range as a whole, but two products described the same way can still differ. A table listed as having a rattan drawer may use a different weave, a different wood for the frame, or a different drawer runner. The individual product page governs the exact materials, dimensions, finish and features you will receive.

We cannot cover every variation in a summary. For example, the term 'solid wood legs' appears in some titles but not all, and the type of wood is not always stated. The dimension 15.8 inches appears for five tables, but the other four may have different widths that are not listed here. Always read the product page before ordering, especially if you need a precise fit or a specific material. If a detail is not on the page, ask before you buy.

Matching the table to your room and bed height

Bedside tables work best when their top is at the same height as your mattress, or within an inch or two. Measure from the floor to the top of your mattress, then compare that to the table height. If you have a low bed, a taller table can look out of proportion and be awkward to use. If you have a high bed, a short table may be out of reach.

Also consider the style of your room. Rattan adds texture and a natural feel, so it pairs well with plain bedding and simple lamps. A glass top can make a small room feel lighter, while a wood top adds warmth. For a cohesive look, repeat the rattan texture elsewhere, such as a mirror frame or a laundry basket. Keep the table's footprint in mind: a 15.8-inch width is compact, but the depth matters too. Leave enough space to open drawers without hitting the bed.
