While the traditional bedside tables are stand-alone items which are positioned on the ground, the floating bedside table is a contemporary look which you may want to consider for your bedroom. Although it comes with restrictions, such as the inability to be flexible with the position of your bed, it can save space and create a practical and convenient addition to the bedroom. Floating bedside tables and bedside shelves will often have one of two drawers aligned next to each other. They may be alongside one another or underneath each other. There is normally a glossy finish on the white or black paint.
