Build a nightstand that doubles as a bookcase with this printed plan.Designed by furniture maker Michael Cullen, this handsome nightstand was custom-made for a retired librarian who wanted a bedside table that works like a bookcase. This Walnut Nightstand not only looks stylish, but it provides a surface for all the usual bedroom items--lamp, alarm clock, eyeglasses and water glass. Below, there's a handy space for stowing papers, a drawer for writing materials and tablet, and storage for lots of books and reading material. For all its practicality, this beautifully designed and crafted stand is a mini work of art. It is just one example of Michael Cullen's ability to produce high-quality furniture that displays sound proportions, intriguing textures, and superb craftsmanship.
