The 13 Best Nightstands of 2023

Best Overall

Andover Mills Rushville 3 - Drawer Solid Wood Nightstand

View On Wayfair

The Rushville 3-Drawer Solid Wood Nightstand is our favorite nightstand because it has a classic design that lends well to any bedroom decor and it’s already assembled out of the box. It’s handcrafted from renewed acacia wood that was sustainably sourced, so you can also feel good about purchasing it. The three drawers add a decent amount of storage space, so you'll have plenty of room for bedside essentials and more. 

This table is also available in nine colors so you can choose one that blends in seamlessly with your room or use it to add a pop of color, like turquoise or orange. Keep in mind that this dresser is designed for shorter bed frames, so if you have a thick mattress, it may not be the best height for you. This nightstand is slightly more expensive than other options available, but despite its price, we think it’s a great option for anyone looking for a nightstand with plenty of storage and multiple colors available.
