A night stand is a small table or cabinet that usually sits beside a bed. It can serve as a convenient spot to place a lamp or alarm clock, to store books or to set down a glass of water. When shopping for a night stand, pay attention to height. Many people prefer to have a night stand that's about the same height as their mattress for easy access. However, if you like to read in bed, you may prefer a slightly taller nightstand so that you can position a lamp to shine over your shoulder and onto the pages of your book or magazine. A slightly shorter nightstand can have a chic, modern look. Another factor to consider is storage.
