Temple Town Signature Teak Bed Side Table

Four drawers in a small footprint A nightstand is judged on two things: whether it sits at the right height, and whether it holds enough that the surface stays clear. This one is built in solid Indian teak with four drawers stacked in a 50cm square footprint — more storage than the shape suggests, which is the point. The top stays free for a lamp and a book rather than becoming the place everything lands. Height At 50cm it sits level with the top of a standard mattress or just below. That is the height at which you can reach something in the dark without looking, and the reason a nightstand that is too tall always feels wrong however well it is made. Solid teak, not veneer Kiln-dried Indian teak throughout, including the drawer boxes. Teak carries its own oils, which is why it survives humidity that swells and jams drawers made from lesser timber — a detail you notice in a Kerala monsoon and nowhere else.
