Bram Bedside Table - Oak + White

52cm makes the Bram Bedside Table the lowest of the bedside options here, which matters if you sleep on a platform bed or a low mattress. A bedside top that sits above the mattress line means reaching up in the dark. Measure from your floor to the top of the mattress before choosing.

55cm wide by 40cm deep is the Bram bedside table footprint, and the 25mm top board across it takes a lamp, a phone and a glass without crowding. That thickness gives the surface more substance than a thin panel would. Allow room in front for the two drawers to pull clear of the bed.

Bottom-mounted drawer runners carry the two drawers on the Bram Bedside Table, with matte 7-shaped aluminium handles across the fronts. Two drawers rather than one lets you keep chargers apart from medication and reading glasses. That keeps the top surface clear for a lamp instead of becoming the place everything gathers.

MDF is the material of the Bram Bedside Table, finished in wood-look melamine in oak and white, with a 25mm thick top board for added support. Melamine cleans with a damp cloth, which suits a bedside surface that sees water glasses and hand cream. The oak and white pairing is shared across the Bram range.

One carton of 63cm x 46.2cm x 19cm at 19.6kg holds the Bram Bedside Table, which weighs 18.5kg assembled. At just under 20kg it is a one-person carry for most adults, though the 63cm length needs both hands on a staircase. The flat carton fits across most car boots.

Assembly is required on the Bram Bedside Table: a small carcass plus two drawer boxes and their bottom-mounted runners. Work on a blanket so the melamine does not scuff, keep the fixings sorted by step, and check the carcass sits square before fitting the drawer fronts so the gaps stay even.
