ShopFront: €644 (reduced from €758) by Ligne Roset at Arnotts: neat single drawer mounted on pedestal base. Won't date easily. White lacquer and aluminium help make it shine in daylight. Very smooth drawer mechanism and plenty of space to rest bedtime detritus. Ligne Roset at Arnotts, Henry Street, Dublin 1 (01-8050400)
€570 at Duff Tisdall: good price for solid walnut nightstand. Appears to be nothing much to it and that's the beauty - a solid piece of lasting furniture. Beds, of course, to match. Duff Tisdall, The Malthouse, 537 North Circular Road, Dublin 1 and The Mill, Mill Street, Dublin 8 (8558095)
€99 at Diamond Furniture: ash finish nightstand with frosted glass top and deep drawer. Nod to 1950s furniture but sturdy. Diamond Furniture, E P Mooney Retail Centre, Longmile Rd, Dublin 12 (1850-454444) and Airside Retail Park, Swords, Co Dublin (01-8907444)
€1,100 at Flanagan's: reproduction of a 19th century Campaign table. Wood chest effect box, that folds open into a larger table, allowing many potential uses. Inside are pigeonholes and the top is leather. Flanagan's of Buncrana Ltd, Deer Park Road, Mount Merrion, Co Dublin (2880218)
£50 (€78) plus shipping at Ikea: visit Ikea's website to order its most popular nightstand. It's not hard to see why it's a best seller: an elegant shape, light and fits into contemporary and traditional interiors. Top is frosted glass. Only downside is lack of storage - www.ikea.co.uk
