Timber Bedside Tables

Find bedside tables in Australia made primarily from timber, valued for their natural grain, solid feel, and long-term use in the bedroom. These designs highlight the character of real wood, making it easier to see how different timbers look, feel, and perform in everyday settings.

Timber bedside tables sit within the wider bedside table range and are grouped here based on the materials used in their construction.

How Timber Is Used in These Bedside Tables

A timber bedside table uses wood as the main construction material, either as solid timber throughout or as a timber surface applied over a supporting core.

Across this selection, the focus is on:

• The type of timber used and its grain pattern
• How heavy or dense the piece feels in daily use
• How different woods respond to wear over time

Details such as drawer layout, overall size, and styling vary by design and are considered separately on each product page.

Common Timber Types Used in This Range

Different timber species bring different characteristics. Understanding these differences helps set expectations around weight, appearance, and durability.

Pine

• Lighter in weight
• Softer surface with a smooth grain
• Easier to move and position
• May show marks more readily with regular use

Acacia

• Medium to heavier weight
• Dense structure with visible grain variation
• Known for durability and richer tones
• Common in solid timber bedside designs

Messmate

• Heavier Australian hardwood
• Straight grain with subtle variation
• Provides strength and stability
• Often used in more substantial furniture pieces

Mango Wood

• Medium-density hardwood
• Distinctive grain and colour shifts
• Adds visual character with solid construction
• Common in feature or mixed-tone designs

Exact timber species and construction details are listed on each product page.

Solid Timber and Timber Veneer Construction

This range includes both solid timber and timber veneer bedside tables.

• Solid timber designs offer greater weight and a continuous wood structure
• Veneered designs use a real timber surface bonded to an engineered core

Timber veneers are commonly used to improve stability, reduce movement due to humidity changes, and create consistent surfaces across panels. Both construction methods are widely used in bedroom furniture and are selected based on design and performance needs.

Sustainability and Responsible Timber Use

Many timber bedside tables are made using responsibly sourced wood, with some designs incorporating certified or controlled supply chains.

Sustainable practices may include:

• Timber sourced from managed forestry operations
• Efficient use of wood through veneer construction
• Reduced waste compared with certain solid slab methods

Where certifications apply, details are noted on individual product listings.

Caring for Timber Bedside Tables

Timber surfaces benefit from simple care to maintain their appearance over time.

General considerations include:

• Using coasters under drinks
• Wiping spills promptly with a dry or lightly damp cloth
• Avoiding prolonged direct sunlight on one area
• Allowing airflow in rooms with changing humidity

Care needs can vary by timber type and finish. Any product-specific guidance is provided on the relevant listing.

Weight, Handling, and Assembly Notes

The weight of a timber bedside table depends on the timber used and its construction.

• Heavier solid timber designs often arrive fully assembled
• Lighter or veneered designs may be supplied flat-packed

Product pages include handling and assembly details where applicable, helping you plan access and placement before delivery.

Comparing Timber With Other Bedside Table Materials

Timber bedside tables are often chosen for their natural variation, tactile surface, and durability.
