Transitioning from a crib to a toddler bed and then to a big kid bed is a big deal, and there’s bound to be some big feelings around it (for both you and your child). But transitions can also be fun — especially when it means getting to do a little decorating! Big kids might get excited about a new nightstand where they can stash a water bottle, a book, or some special treasures they want to keep close. These 10 favorites span styles and marry form and function so that you and your kid will both be happy.

IKEA
$39.99

The Best IKEA Kids' Nightstand

This well-priced staple might be small, but it has a lot more to offer beyond a clean look (with fun pops of color) and a bedside surface. The legs can be mounted several different ways, allowing it to be a tall or long table, or even open-topped or cubby storage. Don’t want the shelves? You can remove them. And there’s one raised knob designed for your little one to hang their headphones, a charger, or some other treasure.
