What is the difference between a nightstand and a night table?
1 Answer

The difference between a nightstand and a night table is mainly the type of storage you can expect each type of bedroom furniture to provide. Nightstands are usually small pieces that have closed storage, such as drawers and cabinets. Night tables are slightly larger and are more likely to have no additional storage or open shelving below their tops. Some people do use the terms nightstand and night table interchangeably.
