About Our Team

Passionate Australians helping you create the perfect bedroom

Our Story

BedsideTables.au was born from a simple frustration that many Australians share: finding the right bedside table shouldn't be this hard. Back in 2020, our founder Sarah Mitchell spent weeks searching for the perfect nightstand for her newly renovated master bedroom in Melbourne. She browsed countless furniture stores, scrolled through endless online catalogues, and read dozens of reviews—only to end up more confused than when she started.

That experience sparked an idea. What if there was a dedicated resource that cut through the noise and helped Australians navigate the world of bedroom furniture with confidence? A site that understood the unique needs of Australian homes—from compact inner-city apartments in Sydney to spacious family homes in Brisbane, from coastal retreats in Perth to modern townhouses in Adelaide.

Today, BedsideTables.au has grown into Australia's most trusted resource for bedside table and bedroom furniture advice. Our small but dedicated team of interior design enthusiasts, furniture industry professionals, and everyday bedroom renovators work together to research, test, and review the bedside tables available to Australian consumers.

What Sets Us Apart

We don't just list products—we understand them. Our team considers everything from drawer glide mechanisms and timber grain quality to USB port amperage and surface scratch resistance. We know the difference between a soft-close drawer and a standard one, and we can explain why dovetail joints matter for longevity.

Our Mission

We believe that everyone deserves a bedroom that feels like a personal sanctuary. The bedside table might seem like a small detail, but it's one of the most-used pieces of furniture in your home. It's where you reach for your phone in the morning, where you set down your book at night, and where you keep the essentials that bookend your daily routine.

Our mission is simple: to help every Australian find the perfect bedside table for their needs, style, and budget. We do this by providing honest, well-researched information that you can trust. We compare products objectively, highlight both strengths and weaknesses, and always prioritise our readers' interests over commercial considerations.

Our Approach

Every product featured on BedsideTables.au goes through our comprehensive evaluation process. We assess build quality, materials, functionality, value for money, and real-world usability. We read through hundreds of customer reviews to identify common praises and complaints. We research warranty terms, delivery options, and after-sales support for Australian customers.

But we don't stop at product comparisons. We also create in-depth guides on bedroom styling, furniture care, and interior design principles. Whether you're trying to figure out the right height for your bedside table or looking for tips on maintaining timber furniture in Australia's varied climate, we've got you covered.

  • Australian Focus: All our advice considers Australian retailers, shipping, and conditions
  • Regular Updates: We continuously update our content as products and prices change
  • Reader-First: Our recommendations are based on quality, not commissions
