These nightstands mate with the Silhouette Bed (see my profile for that post) and are mahogany and paduk with wenge accents.  The carcass is comprised of a single continuous panel cut and joined with splined mitered corners. A power switch is wired to the body to allow the light (or multiple lights) to be turned on/off from the top of the nightstand rather than searching for a roll switch on a cord or reach under a shade.  The small shelf raises the lamp off the top high enough to allow a book or magazine to slide partly under and maximize surface space.  The feet, shelf and handles all mirror elements from the figured headboard and footboard design.
