Looking at these for my bedroom. My bedside tables are fairly small (~18" x 18") so will the bases be too big to also have a book, phone, etc?

I love these lamps!! I have them in my living room on a fairly small end table as well and I can fit a 46 picture frame and a candle with the lamp. I was very happy with my order.

Should be fine. I'm able to fit my magazines, some jewelry, on mine while my husband has his Bible and even a iPod radio dock on his.

I don't know what size bed you have been planning to use these for, but I wouldn't use them for a base. They are not made to hold such weight, and they are only 15" deep, so the bed could be only 30" wide. You need a much wider base, built to hold over 100 pounds to hold a bed, and 100 pounds would be for a small child (you must add the weight of the bedding as well). I have mine stacked, and although sturdy enough for my books, I would never consider the weight of my queen-sized bed on them, let alone with me.

It depends on the base of the nightstands. If the nightstands don't have a completely sold base (aka have 4 points of contract on the ground) then these should work just fine.

I bought 2 of them for a dining room and they do well. I think one would do ok for a small bed room but would not work if you wanted to do reading or needed BRIGHT lighting. I love mine and get a ton of compliments on them.

Yes I do use these to read in bed. The arm extends a little over a foot. When they first arrived I thought they were a little smaller then I had thought but I must say for the price they are a good deal!

I would say yes, maybe not for very thin books, but for an average book I think it should work fine. Without battery it's really really light, so the best estimate for the weight of the lamp would be the weight of 3 AAA batteries in your hand. I have to admit that I always use it with the AC adaptor clipped on my bed headboard (so no battery).

If you use the clear raise its, they would not be so noticeable. The big issue to think about is how big are the legs on your nightstand? There is a recess rectangle shape that measures 2 1/2 inches by 1 5/8 inches(I checked) and a 2 inch circle superimposed on that, it's less than 1/4 inch deep. So the top of the raise it is not flat. If the legs fit into that dimension it should work

Yes, I think you should be able to fit a standard size text book. The desk is great- it saves a lot of space.

I am in a very small area and when you raise the desk part it comes to you. If the base will fit on your desk you should have not issue. BTW. I am really enjoying mine!

Probably not. The base where the book sits is not very deep. It's only about 2 1/2 inches.

It would work with a stable surface underneath; such as a pillow, shelf or rolling tabletop. The base is about 7" by 8" with a cutout.

Yes, it would probably be fine. I have some books and things, but not too heavy. My biggest problem with the unit is that it kind of sways from side to side. The doors didn't fit well, so I have some shims underneath one side to stablize. They are hidden, but without them, the doors are not aligned. Hope this helps!

I'm using one of these as my nightstand. I put a round side table on the other side. I have a Queen size bed. It's like a small chest. I think it'll look good with yours.

I think it would work. The height is the same as a typical nightstand, it is just rather narrow.

I would not put a bunch of heavy books on the unit. It is fairly sturdy, but you will want a dedicated "book" shelf for what you want. This one is more for family snapshots and misc things. We only keep books on the bottom shelf.

I don't think it would be big enough for a bed. It fit our (standard size) coffee table just right. It is a great product though! Good luck!

I believe that these are too low for nightstands. The tallest is 20 inches high followed by 14 inches and 10 inches.
