Nightstands outsell beds here by a wide margin, and that says something true about how a bedroom gets shopped. The bed tends to stay. Everything around it gets replaced. These best sellers come from Stickley, our own Seldens line, Modus Furniture, Hooker Furniture and Whittier Wood.

Replace the Nightstands First

New nightstands change a bedroom faster than a new bed does and cost a fraction of one. Buy a pair if the bed is centered on a wall, or one plus a small chest if it is not. Height should track the top of your mattress. If your current pair sits too low, that is why the lamp light hits your eye instead of the page. We carry wood nightstands alongside the dressers and beds on this list.

Wood, and the Case for Buying Once

Wood accounts for the large majority of these pieces. Whittier Wood, Stickley Bedroom and our own Seldens Collection supply most of it, and several of these makers also sit in our American craftsmanship collection. The pieces at the top of the range are the ones customers buy once and hand down.

Open the Drawers in Tacoma, Bellevue and Olympia

Casegoods are judged on the parts that never make it into a product photo: how a drawer runs when loaded, whether the back is finished, how a surface handles a fingerprint. Ten minutes with a dresser at our Tacoma, Bellevue and Olympia showrooms tells you more than an hour of scrolling, and complimentary design services handle the rest of the room.
