About Bedside Table Australia

Our Story

Bedside Table Australia started in 2022 when our founder, after spending weeks researching nightstands for a bedroom renovation, realised how difficult it was to find honest, detailed information about bedroom furniture in the Australian market. Most resources were either American-focused (with products unavailable here) or superficial listicles that didn't address the practical questions Australian buyers actually have.

What began as a personal blog documenting one renovation project has grown into a comprehensive resource trusted by thousands of Australians each month. Our team now includes contributors with backgrounds in furniture making, interior styling, and home improvement—all united by a genuine passion for helping people create beautiful, functional bedrooms.

What We Do

We spend our time researching, comparing, and writing about bedroom furniture with a focus on bedside tables and nightstands. Our work involves studying timber species—from sustainable Tasmanian oak to imported acacia and mango wood—understanding joinery techniques, evaluating drawer runner quality (soft-close mechanisms, full-extension slides), and assessing how different finishes hold up to daily use.

Unlike many furniture sites, we don't just list products. We create in-depth guides on topics like choosing the right nightstand height relative to your mattress, understanding the difference between solid wood and veneer construction, and maintaining your furniture through Australia's varied climate conditions—from humid Queensland summers to dry Victorian winters.

Our Approach to Recommendations

We're transparent about our business model: we earn commissions when you purchase through our Amazon links. However, this never influences our recommendations. We evaluate products based on build quality, value for money, customer reviews, and real-world practicality—not commission rates.

Our team personally reviews construction details, studies customer feedback patterns, and considers factors specific to Australian buyers: Will this flat-pack survive assembly? How does shipping work to regional areas? Is the seller reliable for warranty claims?

We believe the bedroom is the most personal space in any home. Your bedside table is the last thing you touch before sleep and the first thing you reach for each morning. It should be sturdy enough to hold your morning cuppa, practical enough to store your reading glasses, and beautiful enough to bring you joy every day. That's the standard we hold every recommendation to.
