Bedside Table Prices in Kenya: Drawers & Height (2026)
Bedside Table Prices in Kenya: Drawers, Sizes & the Right Height
What does a bedside table cost, how high should the top sit, and how much floor space do you need? Compare original Monsoon listings, check dimensions and price one unit or a pair before ordering.
How much is a bedside table in Kenya?
Two named standalone bedside products on Monsoon’s catalogue cost KSh 6,500 for the Brown Open-Shelf Bedside Table and KSh 13,000 for the Natural Wood-Look Two-Drawer Bedside Table. Other small side tables in this comparison cost KSh 6,500 to KSh 13,700, but they are categorised as living-room accent tables. Such designs offer extra options, not like-for-like bedside-cabinet equivalents.
Buyers should distinguish one unit from a pair, a separate bedside table from a bed-and-nightstand package, and a measured cabinet from a listing without dimensions. A photograph beside a bed does not prove the piece is included in the bed’s selling price.
How to use this page: Compare the actual listings, measure from floor to the top of your mattress, then use the live checker below. No unverified cabinet dimensions or material specifications are assumed. For bespoke measurements, ask Monsoon for a dimensioned quotation.
Bedside table prices, drawers and measurements
Every link opens the matching Monsoon product page. Values show individual item prices, not prices for two nightstands. The table distinguishes actual bedside storage cabinets from alternative occasional tables.

Buying two matching units?
Two Brown Open-Shelf tables have a catalogue subtotal of KSh 13,000. Two Natural Wood-Look Two-Drawer tables have a subtotal of KSh 26,000. Both figures exclude delivery, modifications and other charges unless those services are expressly included in the invoice.
Buying a complete bedroom set?
A mahogany bed with integrated bedside units lists at KSh 58,000. Its price relates to the entire bed arrangement, not a bedside cabinet sold separately. Keep bundled sets outside the standalone nightstand price comparison.
Eight products, and when each makes sense beside a bed
Use the filter to keep dedicated bedroom cabinets separate from multi-purpose side tables. The latter are alternatives only. A living-room accent table with no drawer is a different purchase from a nightstand with enclosed storage.

Brown Open-Shelf Bedside Table
KSh 6,500 price snapshot · verify
Affordable enclosed-side shelf for a guest bedroom or a compact bedside setting.
The open lower shelf keeps books within reach, and the upper surface has raised side panels. A practical choice for someone who prefers seeing stored objects instead of opening drawers. Neither overall height nor cabinet width is specified, so request the full size and a close-up of the finished edge before ordering.
Published size: Exact external dimensions not published.
Material: Wood-look finish; substrate unconfirmed.
Storage: Two open levels
Check product listingNatural Wood-Look Two-Drawer Bedside Table
KSh 13,000 price snapshot · verify
Enclosed storage for medication, chargers and small personal items.
The product shows rounded outside corners, two full-width drawers, tapered feet and round metal-look knobs. The appearance alone does not prove solid hardwood, and the listing does not publish outside dimensions. Ask about timber or board construction, drawer runners, inside height and whether the selling price covers one unit.
Published size: Exact external dimensions not published.
Material: Wood-look finish; solid timber not confirmed.
Storage: Two closed drawers
Check product listingBellcrest Metal-Frame Round Side Table
KSh 6,500 price snapshot · verify
A narrow, open alternative for a bed with a mattress top around 55 cm.
The published lower base is 36 cm in diameter and the table stands 55 cm high. The upper tabletop diameter is not published, so do not substitute the base measurement for the full footprint. This product is listed as a living-room side table, not a dedicated nightstand.
Published size: 55 cm high; 36 cm round lower base, top width unconfirmed.
Material: Board surfaces and metal supports.
Storage: Open upper and lower surfaces
Check product listingBayvale Flower-Shaped Accent Table
KSh 6,900 price snapshot · verify
A measured 40 × 40 cm two-tier option for a narrower bedroom.
With a flower-shaped top and lower display shelf, this accent table stands 53 cm tall. It is classified as a living-room piece, but a shopper may compare it as bedside furniture where the bed height and room dimensions suit. Its footprint is verified; it has no enclosed drawer.
Published size: 40 cm wide × 40 cm deep × 53 cm high.
Material: Board, exact type not specified.
Storage: Two open shelves
Check product listingBluehill Black C-Shape Side Table
KSh 6,700 price snapshot · verify
A minimalist alternative where a drawer or shelf is unnecessary.
The tabletop measures 45 × 30 cm and the table height is 60 cm. The C-shaped support and floor base are designed for sofa use; a bedside buyer should confirm bedframe clearance and full base dimensions. Avoid assuming the base will slide under a storage bed or that the tabletop will align precisely with your mattress.
Published size: 45 × 30 cm tabletop; 60 cm high (floor base footprint unconfirmed).
Material: Wooden according to listing; species unconfirmed.
Storage: One exposed surface
Check product listingBellcrest Round Wooden Side Table
KSh 9,700 price snapshot · verify
A compact wooden option where only a lamp, phone and glass need room.
The Bellcrest has a 30 cm round top and a 58 cm height with curved supports. It has no drawer. The small top rewards careful accessory planning, especially if a full-size bedside lamp is needed. Wood is verified, but the published listing does not identify a specific hardwood species.
Published size: 30 cm diameter × 58 cm high.
Material: Wood, species not published.
Storage: Open support frame
Check product listingAmberbridge Metal-Frame Side Table
KSh 9,700 price snapshot · verify
A two-level round option for taller mattresses and open storage.
The upper top is 40 cm across, with a lower shelf and a curved metal frame. The product description does not give the full base footprint, which may differ from tabletop diameter. Treat its use beside a bed as a design option to evaluate, not a claim that it was designed as bedroom storage.
Published size: 40 cm top diameter × 60 cm high (base footprint unconfirmed).
Material: Board surfaces and metal frame.
Storage: Round top and lower open shelf
Check product listingAmberhurst Wood-and-Metal Side Table
KSh 13,700 price snapshot · verify
A taller option for a high mattress and more bedside shelf area.
At 65 cm tall, with a top measuring 60 × 30 cm, the Amberhurst is the tallest measured example featured. Its 60 cm width requires more wall space than a narrow nightstand. It is sold as a living-room side table, so review bedside stability, access and proportion before using it beside a bed.
Published size: 60 cm wide × 30 cm deep × 65 cm high.
Material: Wooden surfaces and metal frame.
Storage: Three exposed levels

How high should a bedside table be?
Start by aiming for the top of the nightstand within about 5 cm of the mattress top. Measure from the floor to your mattress surface after the mattress is installed. The headboard height and the mattress’s marketed thickness are not substitutes for this measurement. A table close to mattress level helps keep a light, phone or water glass accessible from bed.
Practical height matching
| Measured mattress-top height | Tabletop starting range |
|---|---|
| 45 cm | 40–50 cm |
| 50 cm | 45–55 cm |
| 55 cm | 50–60 cm |
| 60 cm | 55–65 cm |
| 65 cm | 60–70 cm |
| 70 cm | 65–75 cm |
These are planning bands, not standard product dimensions or a guaranteed universal fit. Verify your own reach and preferred sleeping position.
Examples you can verify
Bayvale, 53 cm high: roughly matches a mattress top between 48 and 58 cm. Bellcrest metal frame, 55 cm: roughly matches 50–60 cm. Bellcrest wooden round, 58 cm: roughly matches 53–63 cm. Amberhurst, 65 cm: roughly matches 60–70 cm.
Those bands derive only from the ±5 cm planning rule and the heights supplied on the individual product pages. They are not claims about a mattress or bed sold with any table.
A low platform bed needs a lower table than a tall bed with a thick mattress. Recheck height if you later add a mattress topper or change frames.
Expert reference: interior designers at Feather & Black recommend aligning the nightstand with the mattress surface or within a small offset. Monsoon’s guide adopts a neutral ±5 cm starting range and asks you to check comfort in person.
Two drawers, one drawer, open shelves or no storage?
Two-drawer nightstand
Closed drawers help store medication, reading glasses, cables, documents and small accessories out of sight. Judge inside drawer dimensions, runner movement and handle clearance, not just the number of fronts. The Natural Wood-Look Two-Drawer model at KSh 13,000 is a verified Monsoon example. Its listing does not specify timber species or exterior size.
Open-shelf bedside table
The Brown Open-Shelf cabinet at KSh 6,500 makes books and small items accessible. Open shelving reduces the need for drawer clearance in front but exposes contents to dust. Check whether the top has enough room for a lamp and water glass, and whether you prefer storage hidden from visitors.
Round side table
The 30 cm Bellcrest wooden table provides a compact open surface at KSh 9,700. It is not a drawer cabinet. A round side table suits a room where the bed sits close to a wall, but a small tabletop can become crowded once a lamp, phone and glass are placed together.
Wood, wood-look board and metal: what to verify
Do not treat all brown bedside tables as solid wood. Some catalogue descriptions specify only a wood-look surface, while the Bellcrest round unit says wood without naming a species. The Bellcrest metal-frame and Amberbridge models use board surfaces and metal supports. Request exact construction materials, edge finishing, drawer-bottom thickness and the method used to fasten legs or handles.
For a guest room or Airbnb, focus on rounded edges, stable construction and a surface that is easy to wipe. For a high-use family bedroom, prioritise usable storage, replaceable runners, stable joints and a top that resists cup rings. A decorative bedside unit with a large footprint but a narrow useable top is rarely the best fit for a compact apartment.
Bedroom width checklist
- Measure the bed’s external frame width. A 5×6 mattress does not establish the width of an upholstered winged headboard or an extended headboard.
- Measure the available straight wall span and mark wardrobes, outlets, skirting and doors.
- Allow room between bed and nightstand as needed for bedding and cleaning. Check the actual drawer’s extended depth.
- Check both sides if buying a pair. A bed near a corner might suit one table and a wall lamp instead of two.
Depth and walking clearance
Find the depth of the nightstand at its widest point, including base or legs. A tabletop dimension alone may be misleading for a C-shaped or pedestal model. Before purchase, mark the proposed furniture footprint using tape on the floor.
Test the walking path, whether a wardrobe door opens fully and whether a drawer collides with the bed. In a rented studio, a freestanding unit avoids the wall fixings required by a floating nightstand.
Does your bedside table fit the wall and mattress height?
Enter your room’s usable wall width and the actual external bed-frame width. The checker models a pair of identical tables by default, or switch to one. It checks wall space and top height; room depth, door swing and drawer clearance still require a physical measurement.
For models without a verified full external width, select manual entry and request the actual size from Monsoon. A round table’s diameter is treated as width.
Important: This is a flat-wall planning estimate. It does not calculate wardrobe door swing, drawers when fully extended, the full floor-base envelope of other side tables or access around a bed.

Monsoon’s published catalogue refers to custom furniture orders commonly taking around three to four days, but availability and delivery dates vary. Do not treat a product-page banner as an unconditional guarantee; rely on the accepted order terms. For a coordinated bed, browse bed and bedside table sets.

Bedside table FAQs
What is the price of a bedside table in Kenya?
Among two confirmed dedicated Monsoon bedside cabinets, the Brown Open-Shelf model lists for KSh 6,500 and the Natural Wood-Look Two-Drawer model lists for KSh 13,000. An additional six linked accent-table alternatives in the comparison range from KSh 6,500 to KSh 13,700. These are product-specific examples, not an average of Kenyan retailers.
How much are two bedside tables?
Two Brown Open-Shelf units have an illustrative item subtotal of KSh 13,000, and two Natural Wood-Look Two-Drawer units total KSh 26,000, before any additional approved costs. Confirm whether the listed product price is per piece, as it is in these examples.
What is the ideal bedside table height?
Measure the floor-to-mattress-top height. A practical starting target puts the nightstand top at mattress level or within roughly five centimetres above or below. The right result depends on reach, the items placed on the table and personal preference.
Should a bedside table be higher or lower than the mattress?
Close to mattress height is usually more comfortable than a large mismatch. A difference of two or three centimetres is a useful starting point, while a difference beyond five centimetres deserves a trial before purchasing.
How do I measure my bed for bedside tables?
Measure the outside width of the actual bed frame, not the mattress alone. Then measure clear wall width, table outside width and a small gap from the bed frame. Repeat the calculation on both sides if purchasing a pair. Also check doors, drawers, electrical sockets and walking routes.
Does a 5 by 6 bed need two bedside tables?
Not necessarily. A 5×6 mattress identifies mattress width but does not determine the wall span, bed frame width or sleeping habits. A single table is sensible where the other side is near a wall or wardrobe. Buy a pair only if both sides have usable floor space.
What is the price of a wooden bedside table in Kenya?
Monsoon lists a 30 cm diameter Bellcrest wooden side table at KSh 9,700. Its 58 cm height suits some bed arrangements, but this is an open accent table, not a cabinet with drawers. The Natural Wood-Look Two-Drawer bedside unit lists for KSh 13,000; its product description does not verify solid wood construction.
Are wood-look tables made from solid hardwood?
No conclusion follows from an appearance description alone. Ask for a material specification identifying solid timber, plywood, MDF, particleboard or another construction. A warm walnut or mahogany finish is a colour and texture cue, not proof of the material.
Is a side table the same as a bedside table?
Side tables and bedside tables share a surface function, but dedicated bedside cabinets often add enclosed storage. A living-room accent piece may be usable beside a bed if height, footprint, stability and capacity are appropriate. The article labels every crossover design so shoppers are not misled.
Which Monsoon bedside table has drawers?
The Natural Wood-Look Two-Drawer Bedside Table has two visible closed drawers and a listed price of KSh 13,000. Ask for the internal drawer dimensions and runners before finalising a custom version.
What is the cheapest bedside model in this comparison?
The Brown Open-Shelf Bedside Table lists for KSh 6,500. The Bellcrest Metal-Frame Side Table also lists at KSh 6,500, but it belongs to the accent-table category and has open surfaces instead of a bedside cabinet.
Which bedside alternative has published full measurements?
Bayvale publishes 40 cm width, 40 cm depth and 53 cm height. Bellcrest Wooden Round lists a 30 cm diameter and 58 cm height. Amberhurst lists a 60 × 30 cm top and a 65 cm height. Other products have partially specified dimensions, so confirm their complete external footprint.
How wide should a bedside table be for a small bedroom?
Start with the wall gap available after measuring the entire bed frame. A 30–40 cm wide piece can work for a narrow space, but check the external legs, base or pedestal and the useful tabletop surface. Avoid treating a product’s top width as a guaranteed overall footprint.
Do bedside tables have to match?
No. Matching finishes or heights create visual balance, but differing storage needs may justify a drawer unit on one side and a smaller shelf on the other. Compare both users’ reach and actual available width first.
Is an open-shelf nightstand suitable for Airbnb?
An open-shelf piece is easy for guests to use and inspect, but it shows dust and personal belongings. A drawer can offer more privacy. Choose durable surfaces, stable construction and an easy-clean finish, then confirm the final supply and maintenance requirements.
Can Monsoon make custom bedside tables?
Monsoon offers custom furniture. Send desired width, depth, height, drawer count, wood or board preference, finish and quantity. The workshop must confirm feasibility, the accepted price, timing and material specification.
Does the product price include a mattress or bed frame?
No. Standalone bedside table listings are furniture pieces. Integrated bed-and-bedside sets are separate catalogue products with a combined bed price. Do not assume mattresses or accessories are included unless the individual product explicitly states them.
How much is a bed with integrated bedside units?
A separate Monsoon mahogany-panel bed with integrated bedside units currently lists at KSh 58,000. This is a combined bed arrangement and is not included in the standalone table price range. Check actual supplied units and mattress inclusion on the order.
What if the listed height is missing?
Request height, width and depth in centimetres in writing before paying. If the intended table has drawers, also request drawer extension and internal usable depth. Do not guess dimensions from catalogue photographs.
What should I inspect when a bedside cabinet arrives?
Check drawer runners, handle fixing, level top, wobble, finish, edge sealing and any transport damage. Confirm the unit matches the approved drawing, material and quantity. Report problems promptly in line with current order and return terms.
