Cherry Bedside Table
Solid wood construction and elegant details make this cherry bedside table a perfect companion to the heirloom bed.
This bedside table has four solid corner posts for legs that are connected to the rails with traditional mortise and tenon joints. The sides and back are solid wood panels made up of slats that are assembled with tongue-and-groove joints. But it’s the details that make this table — like a wide chamfer running the length of each leg, graceful tapers at the bottom end of each leg, and a gently curving front apron. Building the table provides a number of woodworking challenges that make for an extremely satisfying project.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
