Using a chest of drawers as your bedroom side tables is a MUST.
Many traditional "night stands" are WAY too short. Think about sitting in your bed. You want to be able to set your drink or a book next to you without leaning down.
Measure the height of the top of your mattress from the floor and aim for a "night stand" that 2-6" taller.
The other reason I love dressers as night stands is all the extra storage and surface area for a lamp and decorative items.
