The Larkin Mahogany Two-Drawer Nightstand

Warm grain within arm's reach in the dark.

A narrow, square-set bedside piece for rooms that don't have inches to spare — tall enough to meet a mattress, slim enough to sit between the bed and the wall without crowding either.

The frame is solid mahogany with a manufactured-wood top, in a brown finish throughout. Two drawers run on ball-bearing glides, and the metal handles are removable if you prefer the fronts clean. From a mid-century line.

Style it with a small brass reading lamp and nothing else — the narrow top rewards restraint. A pair either side of the bed reads as considered rather than matched.

Bedtime essentials, kept close and out of sight.
