Best Narrow Bedside Table
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
A narrow bedside table fits a gap between a bed and a wall, or a corner that a standard nightstand cannot reach. The guide below compares the bedside and side tables in this listing set, using the width, depth, height, drawers, charging and weight facts that each listing states. Only three of the eight listings are bedside or side tables. The other five are console tables for hallways and sofas, so they are left out of the roundup.
Quick answer
- The narrowest bedside-style table in this set is the HOOBRO small side table, at 16.5 inches long and 7.1 inches deep.
- For a table with a charging station, the HOOBRO side table and the SUPERJARE nightstand both list built-in power outlets.
- For storage in a tall, slim footprint, the MAX Houser fabric tower lists four drawers and stands 32.4 inches high.
- Check the weight rating before you put a lamp or books on the top. The SUPERJARE lists 33 pounds and the HOOBRO side table lists 25 kilograms.
How to choose a narrow bedside table
Start by measuring the gap. Note the width you have between the bed and the wall, and the height from the floor to the top of your mattress. A bedside table should sit close to that top edge. The listings here range from about 7 inches deep to 17 inches deep. The shallowest, the HOOBRO side table, measures 7.1 inches deep. The deepest, the MAX Houser tower, measures 17 inches deep. Pick the one that fits the gap you measured, not the one with the most drawers.
Next, look at the height. The HOOBRO side table is 25.6 inches high, the SUPERJARE is 23.4 inches high, and the MAX Houser tower is 32.4 inches high. A taller table reaches a pillow or a reading lamp more easily. A shorter table sits below a window ledge or a bed frame that is already tall.
Then decide between open shelves, drawers and charging. The SUPERJARE has a fabric drawer, three shelves and built-in charging outlets. The HOOBRO side table has three open shelves and a power strip. The MAX Houser has four removable fabric drawers and a wood top. The drawers hold small items that you want out of sight, while the shelves hold books and décor you want in reach.

Who each table suits
- A bedside with a phone to charge: the HOOBRO side table and the SUPERJARE nightstand, whose listings name charging as a feature.
- A tight gap that needs a slim top: the HOOBRO side table, which the listing calls a slim end table for tight spaces.
- A bedroom or nursery that needs hidden storage: the MAX Houser tower, whose listing names bedrooms, nurseries and playrooms.
The three bedside and side tables
Each entry below uses only the facts from its listing. Where a listing text was cut off in the data, the entry says so.
HOOBRO Small Narrow Side Table with Charging Station
This side table has a rustic brown top and a black metal frame. The listing gives a size of 16.5 inches long, 7.1 inches wide and 25.6 inches high, and the specifications give the same figures as 7.1 inches deep, 16.5 inches wide and 25.6 inches high. The bullets say it has a power strip with one outlet, one USB port and one Type-C port, so you can charge phones and a desk lamp without a wall socket nearby. The table has three open shelves. Two are wood for remotes and glasses, and the bottom is an L-shaped mesh rack for magazines and books. The specifications give a maximum weight recommendation of 25 kilograms. The package includes an assembly guide and installation tools.
SUPERJARE Nightstand with Charging Station, USB-C Port
This nightstand is 11.8 inches deep, 15.7 inches wide and 23.4 inches high. The listing says it has one USB port, two outlets and one Type-C port built into the top, so you can plug in a lamp, phone or watch before bed. It has one fabric drawer that can be installed at one of two heights, plus three storage shelves. The listing gives a maximum weight recommendation of 33 pounds. The frame is metal with a powder-coated finish, and the top is engineered wood with a wooden grain look. The package includes an assembly guide and a tool, and the bullets say the numbered parts make assembly quick. The listing says the table can also serve as a living room or dorm storage rack.
MAX Houser 4 Drawer Narrow Dresser Fabric Storage Tower
This tower stands 32.4 inches high and measures 17 inches deep and 8 inches wide in the specifications. The bullets give the width and length the other way round, as 8 by 17 inches, so the listing is not fully consistent on that point. The tower has four removable non-woven fabric drawers. The listing says each drawer measures 6.5 inches long, 16 inches wide and 6.875 inches high. The top is water-resistant wood for lamps, books and décor. The frame is steel, and the plastic feet are adjustable and do not scratch floors. The listing says it fits bedrooms, nurseries, playrooms, entryways, closets and bathrooms. No weight rating is stated in the pack data.
Review: the HOOBRO side table in depth
The HOOBRO side table is the narrowest table in this set that is also a bedside style. Its listing title calls it a small narrow side table, a skinny end table and a slim nightstand, and the bullets describe it as a slim end table for tight spaces. That makes it the most direct fit for a narrow bedside gap.
The top is engineered wood and the frame is metal, with a powder-coated black finish. The specifications list the tabletop as engineered wood, the frame as metal and the material as particleboard and iron. The listing says it can be used as a sofa side table, a bedside table or a coffee table. The listing gives a height of 25.6 inches, which is close to a typical bed height, so a lamp or a glass sits within easy reach.
The power strip is the main feature. The bullets say it has one outlet, one USB port and one Type-C port. The listing does not state the cord length or whether the cord can be routed through the frame, so check the distance to your wall outlet before you buy.
The listing gives a maximum weight recommendation of 25 kilograms, and the bullets say the metal frame and particleboard give strength. The listing does not state a warranty, so the stated weight figure is the main rating to plan around.
Fit matters as much as the numbers. Measure the space between the bed frame and the wall, then subtract a finger-width margin so the table slides in without force. Check the table top against the height of your mattress, because a top that sits well below the mattress edge makes it harder to reach a glass or a phone from bed. The listing gives a height of 25.6 inches, so compare that figure with your own measurement before you order.
Think about cords too. A table with a built-in power strip still needs a wall outlet, and the listing does not give the cord length. Put the table where the outlet is easy to reach, and keep the cord clear of the bed so that it does not catch on a foot.
Two close alternatives from this set are the SUPERJARE nightstand, which lists 33 pounds and has a drawer, and the MAX Houser tower, which has four drawers and stands about 32 inches high.
Mistakes to avoid
- Buying by the word narrow. The SUPERJARE listing does not use that word in its title, so compare each listing's numbers against your gap.
- Ignoring the cord length. Charging tables need a wall outlet, and the listings do not state the cord length.
- Putting heavy items on a shelf with no stated weight rating. The MAX Houser listing does not give one, so keep heavy items off it.
FAQ
What is the narrowest bedside-style table here?
The HOOBRO small narrow side table is 7.1 inches deep and 16.5 inches wide. Its title names a slim shape, as does the MAX Houser tower’s title, which says narrow dresser.
Which table has a charging station?
The HOOBRO side table and the SUPERJARE nightstand both have built-in power outlets. The listings name one USB port and one Type-C port on each.
Can a narrow table hold a lamp?
The MAX Houser listing says its wood top holds lamps, books and décor. The HOOBRO and SUPERJARE listings do not give a size limit for a lamp base, so check the base size against the top.
Does the SUPERJARE drawer fit a deep item?
The listing says the drawer can be set at two heights, and the drawer is fabric. It does not state the drawer's interior size, so measure your item first.
Why are the console tables not in this guide?
Five of the eight listings are console or entryway tables for hallways, sofas and entrances. They do not name a bedroom use, so they are left out of this roundup.
Is a metal frame strong enough for a bedside?
The HOOBRO and SUPERJARE listings both use metal frames and state a weight recommendation. Keep the load within the stated figure, and do not use the top as a seat or a step.
Setup checklist before you order
- Measure the gap width and the height from the floor to the mattress top.
- Decide whether you need a drawer, open shelves or a power strip, and match the table to that need.
- Check the weight recommendation against the heaviest item you will place on the top or a shelf.
- Confirm the outlet location and the distance to the table, since the listings do not give a cord length.
- Plan for assembly time. The SUPERJARE listing says its numbered parts make assembly quick, and the HOOBRO listing says it comes with an assembly guide and installation tools.
Bottom line
For a narrow gap beside a bed, choose the HOOBRO small narrow side table. For a charging nightstand with a drawer, choose the SUPERJARE. For tall, hidden storage in a slim footprint, choose the MAX Houser tower. Measure the gap, the height to your mattress and the outlet location before you order.
