The bedside table is the piece you touch first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and it is almost always chosen last, in a hurry, once the budget is nearly spent. Then you live with the consequences. The drawer that sticks. The surface too small for a lamp and a glass of water together. The height that leaves you reaching down awkwardly for your phone every night. The particleboard that swells at the edges within one humid season.
At Samz Design we build bedside tables to order in solid teak wood and powder-coated aluminium, sized to your bed height and your room. Our metal work is fabricated in house at our Shah Alam workshop, so we control the weld quality and the finish from start to finish. Whether it is a matching pair for a master bedroom, a single nightstand for a condo, or fifty units for a hotel, we build to the measurement you give us. Part of the full bedroom furniture range.

What Height Should a Bedside Table Be?
A bedside table should sit level with the top of your mattress, or within about 5 cm of it, so you can reach items comfortably without looking down or reaching up.
This is the detail almost nobody checks before buying, and it is the one that decides whether the table feels right every night. Measure from the floor to the top of your mattress, not to the top of the bed frame, because mattress thickness varies a lot. For most Malaysian bed setups that figure lands between 55 and 65 cm, which is why our tables sit in that range. A tall pillow-top mattress can push it higher, and a low Japandi platform frame can bring it well below.
If your mattress height is unusual, tell us the number and we build to it. That single adjustment costs nothing extra and changes how the piece feels for the next decade.
Teak or Powder-Coated Aluminium: Which Should You Choose?
We build bedside tables in two materials, and they suit genuinely different situations.
Solid teak bedside tables
Teak is the choice for a bedroom where you want warmth, weight and a piece that improves with age. Its natural oils resist the humidity that swells and delaminates engineered board, and it holds drawer runners and fasteners firmly so the drawers keep sliding properly for years rather than months. Teak also matches beautifully with a teak bed frame for a coordinated room.
Powder-coated aluminium bedside tables
Powder-coated aluminium is lighter, more modern in profile and completely weather resistant, which makes it the right pick for a balcony, a patio, a poolside cabana or a hotel room that needs furniture able to take constant handling. The powder coat is baked onto the metal rather than painted on, so it resists chips and scratches far better. All of our metal frames are fabricated in house. See the full powder-coated aluminium furniture range.
Our Bedside Table Collection
Five designs, each solving a different bedroom problem. All are available in custom sizes, materials and finishes.
Arq Teak Wood 3-Drawer Bedside Table
Solid teak with a powder-coated mild steel base and three drawers, at W55 x D45 x H60 cm. This is the one to choose when storage matters, because three drawers hold everything that normally ends up scattered across a bedside surface: chargers, medication, reading glasses, remotes. The teak is designed by Samz Design and the steel base is built in house, which is what keeps it stable under daily use.
Sarah Teak Wood Bedside Table
Solid teak with two touch-open drawers, at 80 x 45 x 55 cm. The touch-open mechanism removes handles entirely, giving a cleaner front that suits modern and minimalist bedrooms. At 80 cm wide it is the most generous surface in the range, which makes it the better pick if you want a lamp, a book and a drink all sitting comfortably rather than competing for space.
Classic Teak Wood Bedside Table
Premium solid teak with a vertical reeded texture on the front. The reeding catches light and adds depth that a flat panel cannot, and it pairs directly with the Classic Teak Wood Bedframe for a matched set. Choose this when you want the bedside table to be a design element rather than just a surface.
Hilton Round Side Table
A nesting pedestal design with removable tray tops. The round profile softens a bedroom full of straight edges, and the removable tray is genuinely useful: lift it off to carry a drink, or use it to keep small items contained. The nesting design means it takes up very little floor area, which matters in a tight condo bedroom.
LCS Teak Wood Tea Table
A round premium solid wood table with a timeless profile, equally at home as a bedside table, a lounge accent piece or a cafe table. Available in custom materials, sizes and colours, and often specified for hotels and reception areas. It also appears in our living room side tables range.

How to Choose the Right Bedside Table
Need storage? The Arq with three drawers is the clear answer. Nothing else in the range holds as much out of sight.
Want a clean, handle-free look? The Sarah with touch-open drawers, which also gives you the largest surface at 80 cm wide.
Want it to be a design feature? The Classic, with its reeded front, especially paired with the matching bed frame.
Tight on floor space? The Hilton Round, whose nesting pedestal and round profile take up less room and remove sharp corners.
Furnishing a balcony, patio or hotel? Powder-coated aluminium, which handles moisture, sun and constant handling without deteriorating.
Bedside Tables for Hotels, Resorts and Serviced Apartments
Hotel nightstands take punishment that home furniture never sees: wet glasses left overnight, daily cleaning with harsh products, luggage knocked against them, and drawers opened thousands of times a year. This is where cheap board furniture fails first and gets replaced within two years. Solid teak and powder-coated aluminium both survive it. We supply matched bedside tables in project quantities to hotels, resorts, serviced apartments and developers across Malaysia and internationally, with identical finish across every unit. Our B2B solutions and hotel furniture supplier service handles the full order.
Complete the Bedroom
Bedside tables work hardest when they match. Pair yours with a teak bed frame in the same timber and stain, add a chest of drawers or wardrobe for the rest of the storage, and a mirror or dressing table to finish the room. Since everything is made to order, we match timber, stain and hardware across the full set.
A bedside table should sit level with the top of your mattress, or within about 5 cm either way, so you can reach things without looking down or stretching up. Measure from the floor to the top of the mattress rather than the bed frame, since mattress thickness varies. For most Malaysian beds that lands between 55 and 65 cm. If your setup is different, give us the number and we build to it.
What is the difference between a bedside table and a nightstand?
There is no real difference. Bedside table is the more common term in Malaysia and the UK, while nightstand is the American term for the same piece. Both describe a small table placed beside a bed for a lamp, phone, book and small storage. We use both terms because both are searched, but the furniture is identical.
Should bedside tables match the bed frame?
They do not have to match exactly, but they should agree. The easiest approach is matching the timber and stain to the bed frame, which makes the room read as one considered set rather than separate purchases. Because we build to order, we can match a bedside table to an existing Samz bed frame or even to a bed you already own, if you send us photos and details.
Do you make bedside tables with drawers?
Yes. The Arq Teak Wood Bedside Table has three drawers and a powder-coated steel base, and the Sarah has two touch-open drawers with a handle-free front. If you need a different drawer configuration, a deeper drawer for larger items, or a shelf instead, we build to your specification at no premium over a standard size.
Can bedside tables be used outdoors or on a balcony?
Powder-coated aluminium tables can, and they are the right choice for balconies, patios and poolside areas because the baked-on coating resists moisture, sun and rust. Solid teak also handles outdoor conditions well thanks to its natural oils, though it will weather to a silver-grey patina unless oiled once or twice a year. Tell us where the piece will live and we will recommend the right material.
What size bedside table suits a small bedroom?
In a compact condo bedroom, look for a narrow footprint or a round profile. The Hilton Round Side Table with its nesting pedestal takes up minimal floor area and has no sharp corners to catch on in the dark. We can also build any design to a narrower width, which is often the cleaner solution than compromising on the design you actually wanted.
Do you sell bedside tables as a matching pair?
Yes, and most master bedrooms take two. Because each piece is built to order, a pair is genuinely identical in timber, stain and finish rather than approximately matched from separate stock batches. Just specify a pair at the quote stage.
Do you supply bedside tables to hotels in Malaysia?
Yes. We supply matched bedside tables in project quantities to hotels, resorts, serviced apartments and property developers, with identical finish across every unit and sizing to your specification. Our B2B solutions service manages the full order, and our custom design team can work from your interior designer’s drawings.
Do you deliver bedside tables across Malaysia?
Yes, nationwide across Malaysia, with international shipping to Singapore, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UK and the US. Contact us for a delivery quote to your location.
