The ChooChoo floating nightstands offer a walnut-finish storage solution with integrated LED lighting, adding both functionality and a modern glow to the bedroom. Constructed from P2-grade engineered wood, these units feature a smooth-gliding drawer on zinc-plated steel tracks and an open cubby. The walnut laminate is designed to mimic natural grain while providing a surface that is easy to maintain with a damp cloth.
For a clean look, the LED strips are recessed, though the power cable will need to be managed down the wall to a nearby outlet. To achieve the most secure installation, tests show that the tension-bolt system performs best when aligned with wall studs. While the laminate provides moisture resistance, the edge banding can be sensitive to high humidity; keeping the unit in a well-ventilated room will help maintain its appearance over the years.
The "zero-footprint" design is a practical reality for those with small bedrooms, as it allows for storage without the bulk of traditional furniture. This makes it much easier to vacuum the floor and creates an airy, open feel in the room. The drawers are built to handle daily use, such as storing charging cables, sleep aids, or journals.
Practical Feature Highlights
- Steel drawer tracks ensure a consistent glide and reduce the "sticking" common in wood-on-wood designs.
- Integrated LEDs provide a soft ambient light, perfect for nighttime navigation without a bright lamp.
- Walnut texture offers a sophisticated look that pairs well with various bedding styles.
If your bedside needs include more surface area for a CPAP machine or large electronics, the extended 18-inch floating nightstand may be a better fit. Explore more modern options like this in our wall-mounted nightstand category.
