About the Merton 3 Drawer Bedside Table
Last checked
Beside a bed, the Merton works as a compact storage piece rather than a decorative side table: three drawers, all enclosed, with the emphasis on keeping night-time clutter out of sight. That layout earns its space well. For a bedside table, three drawers is a more storage-led arrangement than the common one-drawer-and-shelf format, because it gives separation for glasses, chargers, medication, hand cream and paperback-sized items rather than leaving everything exposed on an open shelf. The useful spec call sits in the drawer count: this is more practical than many open-shelf bedside cabinets, but still a small bedroom cabinet rather than a chest-of-drawers substitute. Real bedroom feedback backs up the basic function, with praise repeatedly landing on the height, the number of drawers and the depth of the storage. The gloss element deserves care, though. One lower-scored experience describes surprise at receiving gloss drawer fronts when a matt grey look had been expected, so the finish appears more visually assertive than some may anticipate from the name or display context.
The gloss-front, three-drawer format suits someone pairing it with a modern divan or upholstered bed who wants a neat bedside cabinet that hides small belongings rather than displaying them. Customers describe it as sturdy, attractive and well made, and the positive pattern is practical rather than excitable: it does the job, sits at a convenient height and gives enough drawer space for everyday bedside storage. The deeper-drawer praise is especially relevant, because shallow bedside drawers often become a dumping ground for only the flattest items; this layout seems to cope better with bulkier bedside bits, though it remains bedside storage rather than a replacement for a wider chest. Finish expectation is the main caution. The gloss-front surprise is only a single negative signal, but it affects furniture matching, because a reflective drawer face can read much brighter and more contemporary than a flat matt grey piece. It lands well for tidy, modern bedrooms where enclosed storage and a polished look are welcome; muted, traditional or painted-matt schemes are better served by a matt-finish bedside range or by solid-wood bedroom furniture with clearer material and finish detailing.

Convenient height. Useful number of drawers. Does the job
Sturdy little cabinet, well made and attractive. A bit surprised the front of the drawers were gloss, the one in the showroom was grey and that was Matt. Service all round was excellent.
