| Here are some that I like very much, I love a creative look. |

| I like the Proof nightstand on the link that yayagal shared. Also like the black one, but not sure the wooden legs are the right tone for your bed. I think your idea of metal is good. Pretty bed, too! |
|
| These MCM are similar to the ones that are sold to match your bed, so you may not like them, but they do have a bit more storage and stacking surface so I thought I'd link them. |

| Metal cabinets? Or are these too blocky looking? |

| Some of these can be rickety, but I love the flip-up sides for extra table top room. |

| LOVE the metal Simmons nightstands. Not sure what your budget is? I think the contrast with the teak and the metal would be very nice! |

| Wow, you guys ROCK! I expected/hoped for "go with metal, not wood" but I got awesome selections :) Pal- I love the hospital-esque cabinets, they would be dog proof and both DH and I used to work in hospitals eons ago. So these would be a nod to that. Yayagal & Cyn427 - from CB2 I like Proof, too. I wish it came in black or charcoal, the dulled stainless is pretty but might be too bright. The Harvey cube in charcoal could work and it's really inexpensive. That would leave adequate cash to get some king of storage box for the bottom shelf Fun2BHere - the MCM teak tables are gorgeous but still a little blocky - and at $1500 i would have to love them unconditionally ;). The cubes were amazing, the teak on those just glowed. Wow. They were a steal, too, at $680 for the pair. The metal cabs you linked were ... In a word ... Perfect! I loved that they would add some color to the space and loved the proportions (a little tall, but I could maybe make it work). The only issue I have with them is the price, for $1500 I would have expected the seller to clean up some of that oxidation. But you know what? I would spend that on something I loved and thought was worth it (these would be, if they were cleaned up). I think that's the upper limit, though. Psychologically I have a hard time spending more on the nightstands that the bed (even though there is more work involved to make a nightstand, I bet). I think I'm going to start scouring Craigslist for metal typing tables, though. After seeing the one Fun2BHere linked to, I noticed some have different brackets on the bottom that could support a wooden shelf (I can make a shelf, right?). At least for my side of the bed ... I like the industrial + feminine legs + nod back to when women were secretaries or nurses. It makes me chuckle (an ironic, "you have no idea how much progress didn't happen because of your narrow minded ways, you idjits" kind of chuckle). Thanks again, you guys are awesome! |

| We are thinking of getting that bed for my teen son's room. I love that bed. I, too, don't want the matching nightstand, but for me it's because I don't think it will stand up to my son in it's unfinished state, and I don't want to deal with giving it a finish that will stand up to him. This probably won't work for you (because it's not the style that you are going for, and probably not the color, either, and doesn't provide a lot of storage), but we are considering this one from west elm. The color of the nightstand looks a little off on my monitor, but IRL the wood tones match the bed pretty well. We would also get the dresser from west elm to pull it all together. |

| Metal typing stand. Add a shelf to the bottom where the support is and you have it. Stores that sell used office furniture often have them. |
|
| Can't wait to see what you choose. BTW, the MCM teak cubes sold already. |
|
| No advice as to style, but the ones in catalog would not be comfy. Too low to easily set down a drink or a book. A bedside table needs to be just under or just a bit higher than the bed, I believe I like mine that are just a few inches under. Marti |
