The Aepoalua floating nightstand is a compact, entry-level storage unit designed for minimalist bedrooms and studio apartments. Measuring approximately 11.8 inches wide, it is specifically sized for ultra-narrow gaps where traditional nightstands won't fit. The unit includes a small drawer and is made from engineered wood with a melamine laminate, which helps protect the surface from scratches and stains from coffee or tea.
Because of its cantilevered design, the weight is concentrated at the rear mounting point. While it is designed to hold items like smartphones, e-readers, and glasses, placing heavier objects (over 5 lbs) on the front edge can cause the unit to dip slightly if it is only secured to drywall. For a more stable and safe experience, replacing the included plastic anchors with zinc toggle bolts will significantly increase the weight capacity and prevent the unit from sagging over time.
The melamine finish is very durable and easy to maintain, making it a good choice for high-traffic areas or kid's rooms. The rear of the unit includes small gaps designed to help you route charging cables discreetly, keeping your bedside organized and free of wire clutter.
Usage Tips & Functional Highlights
- The small footprint is ideal for holding a phone and a single glass of water near the bed.
- To prevent stripping the screws during assembly, use a manual screwdriver rather than a high-torque power drill.
- Cleaning is simple with a standard household microfiber cloth.
