YouTube description for DIY nightstand build video
Full description
I built these custom DIY nightstands for just $180 each… and they look like something you'd pay $1,000+ for in stores. Even better — I added a hidden wireless charging station to keep the top clean and clutter-free.
In this step-by-step DIY furniture tutorial, I'll show you exactly how to build your own nightstand using simple tools, affordable materials, and beginner-friendly techniques. This project is part of my master bedroom makeover series and was built right inside my DIY pole barn workshop.
If you've ever wanted high-end furniture without the high-end price tag, this is it.
✔️ Custom design using SketchUp
✔️ Drawer + open shelf storage
✔️ Hidden wireless phone charging
✔️ Built for under $200
✔️ Beginner-friendly build process
