Rosewood nightstands — solid Dalbergia bedside tables, manufactured for export.
The deep, dark-grained hardwood that makes a bedside table feel like an heirloom. We build rosewood nightstands in Jodhpur from solid Dalbergia — CITES-compliant, Vriksh-verified and FSC chain-of-custody — so buyers get heirloom-grade timber with the paperwork to clear any port, from a trial order up.
The heirloom bedside piece — in the hardest, darkest wood on your floor.
A nightstand is handled more than almost any piece in the bedroom: a glass set down, a lamp switched on, a drawer pulled every night. Rosewood answers that with density and depth. "Rosewood" is the trade name for timbers of the Dalbergia genus; in India's furniture belt it most often means Dalbergia sissoo — sheesham, sold worldwide as Indian rosewood — and the denser, darker Dalbergia latifolia. Its heartwood runs from golden brown to deep chocolate and purple, streaked with near-black lines, and its natural oils resist wear and insects. For premium retail bed ranges, boutique hotel suites and designer bedrooms, a rosewood nightstand reads as permanent and expensive — a genuine solid-wood statement, not a veneered carcass. Choose a ready design from our catalogue or hand us your own; we build, finish and pack it to your market's standard.
Heirloom-grade density
Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia) rates around 2,400 lbf on the Janka scale and sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo) around 1,660 lbf — both well above oak, so the piece shrugs off the daily wear a bedside table lives through.
Dark, dramatic grain
Deep brown-to-purple heartwood streaked with near-black lines gives every top a rich, unrepeatable figure — the luxury look that photographs well and lifts a bedroom SKU's perceived value.
Naturally hard-wearing
Rosewood's natural oils resist moisture, wear and insects, and the timber carves cleanly — ideal for inlay, fluting and detailed drawer fronts that set a premium nightstand apart.
One timber, the full nightstand range.
Every nightstand carries a solid rosewood top and carcass; we pair it with the base, drawer and detailing your channel sells. Mix styles across a single container, and consolidate with matching beds, chests and dressers.

Figures below are typical ranges for reference.

Rosewood is kiln-dried for stability before it is cut, and lot and finish traceability is documented where applicable.

Where a rosewood nightstand earns its place.
A finisher's wood
Rosewood's deep natural colour is a selling point in its own right, so we finish it to let the grain speak: a clear natural oil or wax for the rich, hand-rubbed heirloom look, satin and gloss PU lacquer for harder-wearing tops, and walnut or espresso stains that even out the figure where a range needs consistency. The timber's density lets it hold crisp carving, fluting and inlay, so ornate and detailed fronts stay sharp. All interior-market finishes are specified CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant on request, matched to your reference or Pantone.
Rooms and channels it sells into
Matching nightstands for premium retail and private-label bed ranges; durable, high-perceived-value bedside tables for boutique hotel, resort and serviced-apartment suites; statement pieces for interior designers and architects specifying a luxury bedroom; and carved or inlaid SKUs for retailers chasing a traditional or Indian-heritage look. Because rosewood anchors a range at the top end, a single rosewood program pairs naturally with beds, headboards, dressers and chests of drawers in the same timber — a coordinated bedroom collection in one compliant container.
Nightstands that clear customs — not ones that sit at the port.
Because Dalbergia is CITES Appendix II-listed, rosewood is where sourcing legality matters most — and where we lead. We supply every nightstand with CITES-compliant handling of sheesham, FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality documentation, EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, US Lacey Act declaration support and UK Timber Regulation readiness — all backed by ISO, SGS and SEDEX/SMETA audits and packed to ISPM-15. Certificate details go directly to serious buyers on request. See how we handle CITES-compliant sheesham and rosewood legality.

Questions buyers ask about rosewood nightstands.
What makes a rosewood nightstand worth the premium?
A rosewood nightstand is built from the heartwood of the Dalbergia genus — in the Indian trade that is usually Dalbergia sissoo (sheesham, sold worldwide as Indian rosewood) or the denser, darker Dalbergia latifolia. It is one of the hardest, heaviest furniture timbers, with natural oils that resist wear and insects and a deep brown-to-purple grain streaked with near-black lines. On a bedside table that is handled every single night, that density means it takes knocks, drawer wear and lamp heat without denting, while the dark, dramatic figure gives a bedroom range a genuine heirloom, high-end look that veneered boxes cannot fake.
Is rosewood CITES-controlled, and can you export the nightstands legally?
Yes. Dalbergia species are listed on CITES Appendix II, so rosewood nightstands must be sourced and shipped with proper legality paperwork — this is exactly where many suppliers fall short. We handle Dalbergia sissoo (sheesham) on a CITES-compliant basis, backed by Vriksh timber-legality verification, FSC chain-of-custody and EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, with US Lacey Act declaration support and UK Timber Regulation readiness. Certificate details are shared directly with serious buyers on request so your container clears customs rather than sitting at the port.
What sizes and configurations do your rosewood nightstands come in?
Typical rosewood nightstands run roughly 40–55 cm wide, 35–45 cm deep and 50–65 cm tall — sized to sit level with a mattress — with one or two drawers, an open shelf, a cabinet door or a combination. Because rosewood carries carving beautifully, we also build carved, bone-inlay-fronted, brass-pull and iron-and-wood versions, plus tall three-drawer and floating wall-mounted designs. Every dimension, drawer count and hardware choice is made to your drawing or market, so a nightstand matches a bed range or a hotel specification exactly.
What is the minimum order for wholesale rosewood nightstands?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container) so you approve the wood, finish and drawer action first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate rosewood nightstands with matching beds, dressers, chests and décor into a single mixed container. Typical lead time is 30–45 days after sample approval, quoted FOB or CIF from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, with urgent orders at a premium.
Can you make rosewood nightstands to our own design or private label?
Yes. We work as both ODM (our catalogue designs) and OEM — manufacturing to your drawings, dimensions, drawer box, runners, hardware, finish and private-label branding, with custom CNC carving and retail-ready or Amazon-FBA packaging. Send a reference image or a spec sheet and we prototype a sample rosewood nightstand to it before any production run.
How do you finish and care for a rosewood nightstand?
Rosewood takes oil, wax, hand-rubbed and matte-to-gloss lacquer finishes beautifully, deepening its grain; we finish with CARB/TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant products. In service, keep the piece indoors and out of prolonged direct sun to preserve its colour, wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth, and re-oil or wax periodically while avoiding harsh solvents. We ship care guidance with every order so your buyers keep the nightstand looking its best for years.
