Two zones, one surface kept clear
The drawer and shelf work as a system, not just two separate storage options. Private items sit in the drawer: charger, phone, hand cream, the things you want to hand but not on display. At 30cm wide, 28.5cm deep, and 10cm high, it holds most small essentials without encouraging clutter. The lower shelf, at 35 x 37cm with 17cm of clearance, holds what you want visible and accessible: a book, a glass of water, a plant. The surface above stays clear. That is the point.
Dimensions and fit
Total dimensions: 40cm wide, 40cm deep, 50cm tall. The footprint is intentionally compact, designed for bedrooms where space is considered rather than assumed. It works at standard bed heights, typically 55 to 65cm from floor to mattress top, positioning the surface within easy reach from lying down. The 50cm overall height also makes it functional beside a sofa or reading chair with a seat height of 40 to 45cm.
The angled legs lift the piece visually, reducing the visual weight in a small room. They also allow a small amount of clearance beneath the unit, which matters in rooms where floor cleaning needs to be straightforward.
Style and finish
The wood-effect finish reads as warm without the maintenance commitment of real wood. It suits Japandi, Scandi, and contemporary minimalist interiors where the objective is a calm, cohesive room rather than a statement piece. The angled legs reinforce that aesthetic: a detail that adds character without decoration.
A complete system in a small footprint
The combination of drawer and shelf creates something more useful than either would alone: a private zone for what you want contained and an accessible zone for what you reach for without thinking. That separation is what keeps the surface above clear, because everything already has a place below it. The 40 x 40cm footprint suits bedrooms where space is deliberate rather than generous. The 17cm shelf clearance accommodates most A-format paperbacks upright and larger books flat, so the shelf works for reading as well as display.
Care
Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and prolonged exposure to moisture. Do not place hot items directly on the surface.

FAQ
What are the dimensions of the bedside table with drawer and shelf?
The overall dimensions are 40cm wide, 40cm deep, and 50cm tall. The drawer interior measures 30cm wide, 28.5cm deep, and 10cm high. The lower open shelf is 35cm wide and 37cm deep, with 17cm of clearance height above it.
Will this bedside table work at standard UK bed heights?
Yes. At 50cm tall, the surface sits within easy reach of most standard UK beds, which typically measure 55 to 65cm from floor to mattress top. It also works well beside a sofa or reading chair with a seat height of 40 to 45cm.
Is the bedside table suitable for a small bedroom?
The 40 x 40cm footprint is specifically suited to smaller bedrooms, guest rooms, and spaces where the bedside area is limited. It provides useful storage in a compact form without the visual weight of a larger piece.
Can the lower shelf hold books upright?
The lower shelf has 17cm of internal clearance height. Most standard paperbacks (17 to 20cm tall) will not stand fully upright but will sit flat or at a slight lean. A-format paperbacks (178mm) fit upright with very little clearance. Larger hardbacks and coffee table books are best stored flat on the shelf.
What style of bedroom does this suit?
The wood-effect finish and angled legs suit Japandi, Scandi, and contemporary minimalist interiors. It works in rooms where the design priority is a calm, uncluttered space rather than a decorative statement. It does not suit heavily ornate or traditional interiors where wood grain and natural texture are expected.
