Wrought iron nightstands — hand-forged, powder-coated bedside tables built for hard use.
A bedside table takes constant handling — pulled, bumped, wiped down, loaded with a lamp and a drawer of odds and ends. A wrought iron nightstand takes all of it without loosening or creaking. We hand-forge iron bases in Jodhpur, pair them with solid-wood, marble or metal tops, powder-coat them to your colour, and ship from a single trial order up to repeat container volumes.
The bedside table that never wobbles, swells or goes out of square.
A nightstand lives a surprisingly hard life. It is dragged to vacuum behind, leaned on, loaded and unloaded daily, and wiped with everything from water to disinfectant — and over time a timber bedside table answers all of that with a loose joint, a swollen drawer or a slow wobble. A wrought iron nightstand sidesteps it. The base is fully welded, so its junctions are permanent, and heavy-gauge solid bar carries a lamp, books and a laden drawer with no flex and no sound. That durability is why iron bedside tables are a staple of hotels, hostels and short-let rentals, and why they sell so well into industrial, boho and farmhouse retail ranges. Jodhpur's metalworking tradition runs deep, and our forgers shape iron into everything from slim modern frames to scrolled traditional bases and raw industrial flat-bar designs — then pair them with a solid-wood, marble or metal top. A baked-on powder-coat seals the steel against rust and scuffing in any colour from matte black to antique bronze, and because the frame and top separate, the whole piece ships compact and flat.
What hand-forged iron brings to a bedside table.

| Top options | Solid wood (sheesham, mango, acacia, reclaimed), marble / stone, or all-metal shelf |
| Configurations | Open shelf, two-tier, one-drawer, drawer-plus-shelf |
| Finish | Baked powder-coat — matte black, antique bronze, pewter, gold, white or custom; chip-resistant |
| Best setting | Hotels, rentals, bedrooms; industrial, boho, farmhouse and mid-century interiors |
| Freight | Frame and top separate and nest — compact, high container density |

Forged, topped and coated to your spec.
Bedside tables sit best near mattress height, so our standard range runs roughly 55–65 cm tall, with width, drawer count and top material made to order. The dimensions below are standard starting points.
| Configuration | Typical size W × D × H (cm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Open-shelf frame | 40 × 35 × 60 | Lightest, most freight-efficient; boho & industrial looks |
| Two-tier shelf | 45 × 38 × 62 | Extra storage; wood or metal shelves |
| One drawer + shelf | 45 × 40 × 62 | Core hotel & retail configuration |
| Two drawer | 50 × 40 × 65 | Fuller storage; solid-wood or metal fronts |
Build options
Slim modern frame, scrolled traditional base or industrial flat-bar, with a solid-wood, marble/stone or all-metal top. Open shelf, two-tier, one-drawer or drawer-plus-shelf. Drawers on smooth metal or wood runners; iron frame with a contrasting wood top for a mixed-material look.
Finishes
Baked powder-coat in matte black, antique bronze, pewter, gold, white or custom colour; distressed and hand-aged options available. Tough, chip-resistant and colour-stable, with heavier anti-corrosion priming for humid and coastal markets. Wood tops finished in CARB / TSCA-compliant low-emission coatings.
Packing & shipping
Frame and top separate and the base nests, with bolt-through connectors for fast assembly — compact cube, low breakage. Carton, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready or branded packaging; ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing, FOB or CIF from Mundra / Nhava Sheva.
Metal and wood, documented to an audited standard.
An iron base sits outside timber regulation, but a wrought iron nightstand with a wood top still has to meet the quality, safety and ethical-sourcing standards your markets demand — and we document all of them. Our metalworking is covered by ISO quality management, SGS third-party inspection, and SEDEX / SMETA ethical and social audit, so your compliance team sees a verified supply chain. The solid-wood top and any wood components are covered by FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of sheesham, with EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, US Lacey Act declaration support and UK Timber Regulation readiness on request. Wood finishes meet CARB / TSCA formaldehyde norms, and export packing is ISPM-15 heat-treated. Certificate references go directly to serious buyers — never published.

Forged to outlast the room it stands in.
A wrought iron nightstand is about as low-maintenance as a bedside table gets. The welded base cannot loosen, and the baked powder-coat shrugs off scuffs and keeps its colour, so routine care is nothing more than a wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth — which is exactly what makes it a favourite for housekeeping teams. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh solvents that could mar the coating, and in very humid or coastal settings keep the frame dry and specify our heavier anti-corrosion priming at order stage. A solid-wood top is cared for like any fine wood surface — wiped clean, kept out of standing water, and occasionally conditioned — while a marble top is best sealed and blotted, not wiped, after spills. Bolt-through connectors let the piece be dismantled and reassembled across moves without weakening, and any small coating chip can be touched in with matched paint rather than refinished. Full care and finish guidance ships with every order so your retail and hospitality customers get consistent advice.
Wrought iron nightstand sourcing, answered.
Are wrought iron nightstands sturdy enough for hotel and rental use?
Yes — this is exactly where they earn their keep. A hand-forged iron frame is fully welded, so its junctions never loosen or wobble the way a timber bedside table can after years of being pulled, bumped and cleaned around. Heavy-gauge bar and tube carry a lamp, books, a carafe and a drawer of contents without flex, which is why iron nightstands are a mainstay of hotels, hostels and short-let rentals.
Will a wrought iron nightstand rust?
Not with our finish. Every frame is shot-blasted or cleaned, primed and powder-coated — a baked-on finish far tougher than wet paint — which seals the steel against moisture, scuffing and spills for normal indoor and covered use. For coastal or humid markets we specify heavier anti-corrosion priming, giving a hard-wearing, chip-resistant surface that holds its colour for years.
What tops and finishes can I specify?
The iron frame pairs with a solid-wood top (sheesham, mango, acacia, reclaimed wood), a marble or stone top, or an all-metal shelf. Powder-coat finishes run from matte black and antique bronze to pewter, gold and custom colours, so the same base suits industrial, boho, farmhouse, mid-century or classic ranges. We match your colour and top to a physical sample before production.
What sizes do you make, and do they come with drawers or shelves?
Standard bedside heights run roughly 55–65 cm to sit near mattress level, in single-shelf, two-tier, one-drawer and drawer-plus-shelf configurations, with width and height made to your specification. Drawers run on smooth metal or wood runners; open shelves suit lighter, boho and industrial looks.
What is your minimum order for wrought iron nightstands?
A trial or sample piece can ship LCL (part-container). For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum. Iron nightstands pack compactly and we consolidate them with beds, wood furniture, metalware and décor into mixed containers, so you can fill a container across categories.
Do wrought iron nightstands ship flat-packed?
Yes. The frame and top separate and the base nests, with bolt-through connectors for fast assembly, which cuts container volume and transit damage. We supply carton, retail-ready and Amazon-FBA-ready packaging for online and wholesale channels, with full assembly and care guidance in the box.
Approve the finish and top, then ship from one container up.
Sign off a powder-coat colour and top material on a physical sample, then scale from a trial order to repeat container volumes on a 30–45 day lead time — QC-governed and documented for your market.
