DIY Bedside tables out of magazine boxes

Bedside Tables

A few weeks ago, I posted about our bedside tables that I was making.

Well I finally got around to finishing them up.

See, we only have about 12″ on either side of our bed.

Everything I found in the stores was wider than we had space for.

So I made something. Of course.

I started by thinking about our needs. It needed to:

  • Be 12″ or less wide
  • Hold a laptop
  • Have a place to charge our peripherals
  • Have a place to hold all the other random little crap we need at hand
  • Not have so much storage it becomes a catchall for anything we don’t know where else to put

Our laptops can either sit on top of the tables or in the first shelf. The basket holds little essentials like the remotes, extra chargers, & cough drops.

My phone fits nicely next to the basket and all the wires come in from the pre-existing holes on the interior sides of each table. Both shelves are also lined with the same fabric as the bedskirt & {eventually} headboard.

I like how they curve back on the sides.

Can you tell what they’re made out of??

    Hi,
    I was just wondering where you bought those wooden magazine boxes. Are they easy to access? Are they expensive?
    Did you buy the table legs also?
