Nightstand
A nightstand is a small stand or cabinet designed to stand beside a bed or elsewhere in a bedroom, as a place to put anything likely to be required during the night.
Before indoor toilets became popular, the main function of a nightstand was to contain a chamber pot. Nowadays it is a small bedside table, often with a drawer . It is likely to support a reading lamp , alarm clock, reading matter, perhaps a glass of water.
