Discover the Dark Walnut Bedside Table

Measuring 60 cm wide by 47 cm high, this bedside table with a walnut veneer in a dark finish is wider and lower than the usual nightstand, a proportion that suits a low modern bed frame and gives you a genuine surface rather than a perch. The dark finish takes walnut past its natural brown into something closer to espresso, so the piece reads as a deliberate shadow against pale bedding and light walls, which is how a dark accent works in a Japandi room: one anchor, not a general darkening.

There are 2 drawers running on hidden guides with a soft closure system, so the fronts stay clean with no visible handles or runners and neither drawer can be slammed shut in the dark. Soft closure matters more in a bedroom than anywhere else in the house, for obvious reasons. Beneath, an adjustable base on the legs lets you level the table against an uneven floor, which keeps the drawer fronts sitting square and stops them drifting open on a slope.

Materials and Everyday Care

The timber carries FSC Mix Credit certification, a category covering material drawn from a combination of FSC certified forests and FSC controlled wood, with the proportions accounted for across the whole supply. It is a practical standard rather than a marketing line: it means the volume of certified fibre entering the factory is matched against what leaves it. For a walnut veneer piece this is the realistic route to a traceable dark hardwood surface without felling solid walnut for a small bedroom table.

In daily use, keep water off the top. A glass left overnight on veneer will mark the finish, and a coaster costs nothing. Dust with a dry cloth, use a barely damp one for fingerprints, and dry immediately. Avoid silicone sprays, which build a haze on a matt dark finish that is very difficult to remove evenly. The table is designed to be combined with the rest of the collection, so a pair either side of the bed, or a matching chest opposite, keeps the walnut tone consistent.
