Max and Lily Scandinavian Nightstand

One drawer for the things that have to stay within reach of the pillow, and a flat top for a lamp, a water glass and whatever is being read this month: the Max & Lily Scandinavian Nightstand is a single bedside table for a kid’s or teen’s room. It belongs to the same Scandinavian collection as the beds, bunks and dressers, so if you add a piece later the finish and the profile still line up.

Knot-free solid wood

This is solid pine and aspen, not particleboard with a printed wood grain and not veneer over MDF. The wood is knot-free, so the colour stays even across the drawer front and the top. The silhouette is deliberately slim, which keeps the piece from crowding a small room or a bed pushed into a corner.

A finish that belongs beside a pillow

The finish is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, meaning it has been tested for chemical emissions into indoor air. On a nightstand that matters more than on most furniture, because it sits right beside your child’s face all night in a room with the door closed.

Five finishes

• White
• Blonde
• Black
• White and Blonde two-tone
• Blonde and Black two-tone

The two-tone options combine two of the collection’s finishes on one piece, which is an easy way to tie a nightstand to a bed in a different colour rather than trying to match it exactly.

What arrives

The nightstand ships flat in one box with plain-language instructions, the hardware and the tools needed to assemble it. Expect it to be heavy for its size, which is what solid wood feels like. Buying it here rather than from a US site means it ships Canada-wide and, in the rare case something has to go back, the return is handled in Canada instead of being shipped across the border at your expense.
