Let’s just be honest, finding a good-quality nightstand in your budget can be a struggle. 

We quite literally spent the past three months trying to find the perfect nightstand for Mckenzie’s bedroom, because we kept running into multiple issues. Either the nightstands weren’t good quality and way overpriced or they were just completely outside of the price range she wanted to spend. When she finally found the perfect nightstand for her room, we immediately wanted to help other people find the best nightstand for their space with ease.

Whether you’re looking for a nightstand for your primary bedroom, studio apartment or your teenage daughter’s bedroom, we’ve got you covered. We’re sharing our shopping tips and a list of best modern nightstands for every budget.

3 Tips When Shopping for a Nightstand

1. Have an Idea of The Style, Color and Material

Before you even begin your search, we recommend having an idea of the style, color and material of the nightstand you want. This will certainly narrow down your options.

2. Look for Sales

Mckenzie bought her nightstand on sale. If we hadn’t caught it on sale, it would have been way out of her price range. We HIGHLY recommend looking for sales. Many furniture retails push huge sales on certain holidays throughout the year. Times of the year to watch out for good sales are:

3. Look for Quality

Before purchasing a nightstand, we also recommend reading the specs and details of the items. Look at what materials the nightstand is made of.

Often times, we found that some cute nightstands that should have been better quality (based on the retailer) were actually made of cheaper materials. The material the nightstand is made of really gives you a clue of how durable and how good of quality it truly is.

If you’re wanting a nightstand that will last for years to come, it may be worth it to spend a littler bit extra on something that’s made of better materials too.
