Some while back, Scott and I bought a bed. We like this bed, but had I known when we bought it how tall it was, I'm not sure I would've been willing. It's part of the new (pointless, in my book) trend toward taller beds, and the top of the mattress is 30" off the ground. Unfortunately, while taller beds are "in", apparently taller nightstands are not. I'm still trying to find something to replace the foldout table presently acting as a 'nightstand' (in particular, I would like two, as the things on my side of the bed are currently not well-placed for me to reach them, which is annoying).
I need something 28-35 inches in height, no more than 18 inches wide or deep, no less than 12 inches wide or deep, that is not merely a table but has either shelves or drawers underneath. I need it to match a room in which all the wood is stained a dark brown that is almost black, except the dresser which is stained a mid-dark brown. I would prefer, because the colors are generally dominant (and are in the bed) to get a dark-brown-almost-black.
So far, the only match to form that I have found comes from Target in my choice of white or light maple laminate. This is really not a solution. At all. Although I'm still tempted to get one of them, just until I find what I really want, just so my kleenex will be within reach instead of having fallen on the floor again.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Stores? (No Ikea, please, unless it is EXACTLY what I described, which seems unlikely: I'd have to go to Seattle, which is about a three and a half hour drive, and then bring it back in a Toyota Corolla. That's not really worth it for anything less than a perfect match.)
Blah. That's going to probably be part of my upcoming weekend. (The other part will be visiting my parents, assuming they're up for a visit. That at least will be cheerful and good.)

Also, I found their website, where you can preview their furniture.
Ennyhoo - parking is on-street and FREE; they also have a lot just west of their building, if the street parking is all taken up.

If they have a lot, I may be okay. I asked specifically to avoid street parking because, as noted, if that is the only option, then I must have Scott along. I cannot parallel park to save my backside, and pulling out into traffic from street parking makes me want to hide under the floorboards.

That is, if anything on the website looks like it might be what you want. Given that they'll build-to-spec, I'm hoping so. I've been really happy with the pieces I've bought from them.
