Category Overview
The category for Nightstands is identified by the Google product category ID 462. This category falls under the path Furniture > Tables > Nightstands and represents the most specific classification level within the Google product taxonomy for bedside furniture.
What Belongs in This Category
This category is intended for furniture specifically designed to be placed beside a bed to hold items like lamps, books, or alarm clocks. Examples found in the US market include wooden nightstands with single or multiple drawers, fabric-covered bedside tables, mid-century modern storage units, and upholstered pieces. These items are typically compact and designed to complement bedroom decor, such as various 2-drawer or 3-drawer bedside storage cabinets.

Items such as kitchen and dining room tables, folding tables for temporary setups, or sewing machine tables belong in their own specific categories. Additionally, accent tables used in living areas, game tables like those for poker, and specialized activity or kotatsu tables should be categorized under their respective neighbouring sections within the Tables category tree.
