Lumen 2 Door Bedside Table with Open Shelf – Atlantic Pine

Storage that earns its place beside the bed

The Lumen bedside table solves the problem most small bedrooms run into: you need somewhere to put a lamp, a book and a glass of water, but you also need somewhere to hide the things you would rather not look at every night. It gives you both. Two hinged doors close over a concealed cupboard section, while an open shelf sits ready for the things you reach for in the dark.

Materials and construction

The cabinet is built from melamine-faced chipboard, finished in a warm Atlantic pine décor with a subtle grain pattern. It is a practical surface for a bedside position — sealed against the ring marks a mug leaves behind, and simple to wipe clean. The carcass carries a fixed internal shelf rather than an adjustable one, which keeps the structure rigid over years of daily use.

Dimensions and planning your space

At 57cm tall, the top surface sits close to standard mattress height on most divan and framed beds, so you can reach a lamp switch without stretching. The 51cm width gives you genuine room on top for a lamp, a phone and a book at once. The 32cm depth is the number worth noting — it is shallower than a typical chest of drawers, which means the Lumen tucks in alongside a bed in a box room or loft conversion without narrowing the route past it. Measure your gap between bed and wall before ordering; anything from 55cm upward leaves comfortable clearance.

Styling ideas

The pine tone works hardest against off-white, clay and sage walls, where the warmth reads as intentional rather than dated. Style the open shelf with two or three objects at most — a stack of books turned spine-in, a small trailing plant, a woven basket for chargers — and let the closed section absorb the clutter. A pair either side of a double bed makes a symmetrical arrangement without the visual weight of full drawer units.

Care instructions

Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately afterwards. Avoid abrasive creams, bleach-based sprays and steam cleaners, all of which can lift the melamine edge over time. Standing water is the main enemy of any board-based furniture, so use a coaster and mop up spills straight away.

Assembly and delivery

The Lumen arrives flat-packed in a single carton measuring 68 × 51 × 9cm and is designed for home assembly, with the fittings supplied. Most people manage it in under half an hour with a cross-head screwdriver. Because the carton is slim, it passes easily through standard doorways and up narrow staircases — worth knowing if you are furnishing an upstairs room in an older property.

Frequently asked questions

Will this fit next to a standard divan bed?

At 57cm high it sits at or just above the mattress line on most divans, which is the height most people find comfortable for a bedside lamp. Measure your mattress height to be sure.

How much floor space does it need?

A footprint of 51cm wide by 32cm deep. Allow roughly 60cm of clearance in front so the doors can swing fully open.

Does it arrive assembled?

No — it is supplied flat-packed with all fittings, and needs a cross-head screwdriver. The carton is only 9cm deep, so it is easy to carry upstairs.

Is the shelf behind the doors adjustable?

No, the internal shelf is fixed in position, which adds rigidity to the cabinet.

How do I clean it?

A soft damp cloth followed by a dry one. Avoid abrasive or bleach-based cleaners on the melamine surface.
