Broyhill Nightstand – Classic Bedroom Storage
Our Fontana nightstand brings warm oak finishes and ample storage to your bedside. Built with solid wood frames and oak veneers, it features two full-extension drawers that glide smoothly even when fully loaded. The clean-lined design pairs traditional craftsmanship with modern convenience — antique brass hardware adds subtle elegance, while the spacious top surface holds lamps, books, and essentials within easy reach.
Every Broyhill nightstand begins with kiln-dried hardwoods and premium veneers selected for grain consistency and color. We mill our own lumber at climate-controlled facilities to prevent warping and cracking over time. Solid wood frames anchor each piece, while oak or birch veneers wrap visible surfaces in consistent, book-matched patterns.
Drawer hardware and functionality
We equip Broyhill nightstands with ball-bearing drawer slides rated for 75 lbs, ensuring smooth operation even when drawers hold heavy hardcover books or folded sweaters. Full-extension slides let you access contents at the very back without removing items in front. Soft-close mechanisms engage in the final two inches of travel, preventing slammed drawers and protecting joinery.
Hardware finishes
Antique brass pulls age gracefully and resist tarnish through a multi-layer plating process. Brushed nickel finishes hide fingerprints and suit contemporary interiors. Oil-rubbed bronze adds depth with hand-applied highlights on raised details. All knobs and pulls are solid metal — no hollow stamped components — and install with machine threads that won’t strip.
Sizing and bedroom layout
Height considerations
Nightstand height should align with your mattress top for easy reach while lying down. Standard box-spring beds pair well with our 28-inch tall models. Platform beds and pillow-top mattresses often sit higher, making our 30- to 32-inch tall options more ergonomic. Measure from your floor to the top of your mattress, then choose a nightstand within 2 inches of that height.
Width and clearance
Allow at least 3 inches of clearance between your bed frame and nightstand for easy bedmaking and cleaning. In compact bedrooms, a 24-inch wide nightstand provides storage without blocking pathways. Spacious master suites can accommodate 28- to 30-inch wide pieces that offer more drawer capacity and surface area for decorative items.

Common questions about Broyhill nightstands
Our nightstand heights range from 28 to 32 inches depending on the collection. The Fontana and Attic Heirlooms models measure 28 to 30 inches tall, which pairs well with traditional box-spring mattresses. The Ember Grove collection stands 32 inches tall to accommodate modern platform beds and pillow-top mattresses. Measure from your floor to the top of your mattress, then choose a nightstand within 2 inches of that measurement for optimal bedside reach.
Yes, minimal assembly is required. Nightstands ship with legs detached to reduce packaging size and prevent shipping damage. You’ll attach four corner legs using the included bolts and hex key — typically a 15 to 20 minute process. Drawer pulls and knobs arrive installed at the factory. Drawers are pre-assembled and slide into place without tools. We include detailed instructions with labeled hardware and pre-drilled mounting points for accuracy.
Absolutely. All our nightstands feature standard 3-inch or 6-inch center-to-center boring for drawer pulls, which matches most aftermarket hardware available at home improvement stores. Knobs use a single centered hole with 8-32 machine thread. If you prefer a different finish or style, simply unscrew the factory hardware and replace it. Keep the original pulls in a safe place in case you move or redecorate later.
Dust weekly with a dry microfiber cloth, wiping in the direction of the wood grain. For sticky spots, dampen the cloth with plain water only — avoid spray cleaners containing silicone or ammonia, which can dull the finish over time. Use coasters under drinks and felt pads beneath lamps to prevent rings and scratches. If water spills, blot immediately with a dry towel. For deeper cleaning twice a year, use a wood cleaner specifically formulated for catalyzed finishes.
We install ball-bearing drawer slides rated for 75-pound loads in every nightstand. Full-extension slides allow drawers to open completely, giving you access to items at the very back without removing contents in front. Soft-close mechanisms engage during the final two inches of travel to prevent slamming. These slides are mounted to the drawer box sides rather than the bottom, which provides smoother operation and longer lifespan than cheaper center-mount alternatives.
Our nightstands combine solid wood structural frames with premium hardwood veneers on visible surfaces. Legs, corner posts, and internal supports are solid kiln-dried hardwood for strength and stability. Drawer fronts, tops, and side panels feature oak or birch veneers over engineered wood cores, which resists warping better than solid wood in fluctuating humidity. Drawer boxes use solid wood construction with English dovetail joinery at every corner. This hybrid approach delivers heirloom durability at an accessible price point.
Yes, every Broyhill nightstand includes a limited one-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This covers issues like drawer slides that fail prematurely, veneer delamination, or hardware that breaks under normal use. The warranty does not cover damage from misuse, accidents, or normal wear like scratches from moving objects. Register your purchase online within 30 days to activate coverage. We also offer extended protection plans at checkout for additional peace of mind.
