The nightstand is made from white oak with a two-tone stain treatment. The lighter wood is the natural color of the oak, but the darker wood was custom-matched to the stain color of the bed. I milled a back bevel on the front to add a level of depth and to transition from the stain into the natural wood.
The client wanted a little cubby on top to store phones, tablets, or books, keeping the top of the nightstand clean but the phone easily accessible. To keep the phones and tablets charged up, I drilled a hole in the top right corner of the cubby so it would be discrete and out of site. That hole leads to a power strip that is integrated into the back of the nightstand, featuring a standard USB and mini USB charging port.
The drawer boxes are dovetail construction and outfitted with under-mount soft close drawer glides. The interior designer selected the sleek, modern drawer pulls to tie the colors and materials to the rest of the room.
