Some of your lip, please

Shopfront: The thing about bedside tables is that they usually get crowded with watches, cash, jewellery, books and other bits and pieces - and that's just the top, never mind what fills the drawers.

A neat little bedside table can be found at Meadows & Byrne that has a lip, like a tray on top, to hold in all your bedtime detritus.

Red-painted wood, it's a good one for small apartment bedrooms as the proportions are tall and thin (42 x 42 cm x 75cm) rather than short and wide so it doesn't take up too much space.

Quality is good for a reasonable price of €195. Also available are matching side tables similar to a picnic table with folding legs and square open shelving units.
