IKEA Bedside Table Guide: Models, Prices & Alternatives
Finding the right bedside table in Ireland is about more than just picking a flat‑pack box off the shelf. Between IKEA’s massive range, local competitors like JYSK and Woodie’s, and a lively second‑hand market, the choice quickly becomes a question of budget, style, and convenience. With more than 20 models on IKEA.ie — from a €15 LACK to a €149 HEMNES — the real trick is knowing which trade‑offs matter for your bedroom.
IKEA bedside table models: 22 · Price range: €15 – €149 · Most popular color: Black · Narrowest model: 30 cm (HEMNES) · Countries with IKEA stores: 50+
Quick snapshot
- Over 20 models listed on IKEA Ireland’s category page (IKEA Ireland)
- Narrowest IKEA bedside table is the HEMNES at 30 cm wide (IKEA Ireland product page)
- Black is a frequently chosen finish across multiple lines (IKEA Ireland) (IKEA Ireland)
- Second‑hand listings on Adverts.ie show 48 results for “ikea bedside table” (Adverts.ie)
- Exact stock levels of specific models in individual IKEA stores in Ireland
- Long‑term durability of budget models compared with mid‑range options
- Check second‑hand marketplaces (Adverts, DoneDeal) for deals (Adverts.ie) (JYSK Ireland)
- Consider JYSK’s HOKKSUND as a budget‑friendly alternative (JYSK Ireland)
- Measure your space – the HEMNES at 30 cm fits narrow corners (IKEA Ireland product page) (JYSK Ireland)
The key facts are summarized in the table below.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Number of IKEA bedside table models in Ireland | 22 |
| Cheapest IKEA bedside table | €15 (LACK) |
| Most expensive IKEA bedside table | €149 (HEMNES) |
| Most popular colour globally | Black |
| Average width of a bedside table | 40 cm |
| Narrowest IKEA model | 30 cm (HEMNES) |
| Popular material options | Pine, particleboard, steel, veneer |
| Assembly tools required | Allen key (included), cross‑head screwdriver |
The spread from €15 to €149 shows how much material and design change the price – a particleboard LACK is a fraction of the cost of a solid‑pine HEMNES.
What IKEA bedside tables are available in Ireland?
IKEA Ireland’s online category lists 22 bedside tables, covering everything from ultra‑budget to solid‑wood pieces. Three models dominate the search results and in‑store displays.
Most popular IKEA bedside table models
- HEMNES – solid pine, two colours (grey‑green / light brown), two drawers, 30 cm wide, €149 (IKEA Ireland product page)
- TONSTAD – compact square table, 35 cm × 35 cm, open shelf, €55 (IKEA Ireland product page)
- MALM – one drawer, two shelf heights, 40 cm wide, white, €45 (IKEA Ireland product page)
The pattern: HEMNES suits traditional bedrooms, TONSTAD is for small footprints, and MALM offers mid‑range value.
Colors and finishes offered
- Black‑brown (MALM, HEMNES, BRIMNES)
- White (MALM, TONSTAD, LACK)
- Grey‑green (HEMNES)
- Light brown (HEMNES)
- Pine (selected models)
Are IKEA bedside tables available in black?
Yes – black and black‑brown finishes are among the most popular choices on IKEA Ireland. Multiple lines offer dark tones.
Black bedside table models from IKEA
- HEMNES – black‑brown solid pine (IKEA Ireland)
- MALM – black‑brown veneer (IKEA Ireland)
- BRIMNES – black‑brown (available in selected stores)
Availability in Ireland
IKEA Ireland stocks all three black‑brown models online, though in‑store stock can vary by location. The black finish tends to sell out quickly, especially the MALM.
What are slim bedside lockers from IKEA?
For tight spaces, IKEA offers several models under 35 cm wide. The HEMNES at 30 cm is the slimmest dedicated bedside table in the range.
Narrow bedside cabinets for tight spaces
- HEMNES – 30 cm width, two drawers, solid pine (IKEA Ireland)
- TONSTAD – 35 cm square, open shelf, lightweight (IKEA Ireland product page)
- LACK – 55 cm × 55 cm tabletop, not a locker but a narrow side table (IKEA Ireland)
IKEA slim bedside locker range
IKEA categorises these under “bedside tables” but the HEMNES and TONSTAD function as lockers with storage. A quick specification comparison:
| Model | Width | Depth | Height | Price | Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HEMNES | 30 cm | 33 cm | 65 cm | €149 | Solid pine |
| TONSTAD | 35 cm | 35 cm | 50 cm | €55 | Particleboard, steel legs |
| MALM | 40 cm | 38 cm | 65 cm | €45 | Veneer, particleboard |
The trade‑off: solid wood costs more but lasts longer; the cheaper models use particleboard and are lighter to move.
How do IKEA bedside tables compare with JYSK and Woodie’s?
Irish shoppers have three main high‑street options: IKEA, JYSK, and Woodie’s. Each targets a slightly different buyer.
Price comparison
The following table compares prices, popular models, materials, assembly, and delivery costs.
| Retailer | Price range (€) | Popular models | Material quality | Assembly | Delivery in Ireland |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IKEA | €15 – €149 | HEMNES, TONSTAD, MALM | Pine, particleboard, veneer | Self‑assemble | €9.99 standard |
| JYSK | €20 – €100 | HOKKSUND, KROGSBJERG | Wood veneer over particleboard | Self‑assemble | €4.95 standard |
| Woodie’s | €15 – €70 | RUSTIC, HOME SELECT | MDF, laminate | Self‑assemble | €6.95 (selected) |
The implication: IKEA offers the widest design choice and highest top‑end quality; JYSK is cheaper but with fewer options; Woodie’s is the budget go‑to for a quick buy.
Style and quality differences
JYSK’s HOKKSUND uses a dark oak veneer that mimics solid wood at a lower price point (JYSK Ireland). IKEA’s HEMNES is solid pine – the same wood all the way through. Woodie’s models are mostly MDF with printed foil. For long‑term durability, solid wood wins; for a quick style update, veneer or MDF is perfectly fine.
Where to buy in Ireland
- IKEA: stores in Dublin (Ballymun) and online at IKEA.ie
- JYSK: stores nationwide (25+ locations) and online
- Woodie’s: 34 stores across Ireland, online delivery
The catch: IKEA’s Dublin location means a trip for many; JYSK has more regional stores. Woodie’s is often the easiest for a same‑day pick‑up.
IKEA gives you the widest range and best long‑term value if you assemble carefully. JYSK gives you a cheaper, veneered alternative that still looks good. Woodie’s is the quick, convenient budget option – but you get what you pay for in materials.
Where can I buy second‑hand IKEA bedside tables in Ireland?
Second‑hand is a smart way to save 50–60% off retail prices. The most active platforms are Adverts.ie and DoneDeal, with eBay also carrying older models.
Online marketplaces: DoneDeal, eBay, Adverts
A search for “ikea bedside table” on Adverts.ie currently returns 48 listings. Prices range from €20 for a basic LACK to €60 for a used HEMNES in good condition. On DoneDeal and eBay, the selection is similar but less consistent.
Second‑hand furniture shops
Charity shops and furniture reclaim centres in Dublin, Cork, and Galway often carry IKEA items. The stock is unpredictable, but prices can be as low as €10.
Tips for inspecting used furniture
- Check all drawers slide smoothly – warped runners are common on older models.
- Look for missing cam locks or dowels – replacements are hard to find.
- Measure twice: used listings often omit exact dimensions.
- Prefer items with original assembly instructions – reassembly is easier (IKEA Ireland assembly instructions).
Second‑hand inventory is dynamic – the 48 listings on Adverts could be 30 by tomorrow. Act quickly on good deals, and always inspect in person if possible.
Confirmed facts
- IKEA sells bedside tables in Ireland with a full range on IKEA.ie (IKEA Ireland)
- JYSK and Woodie’s are direct competitors in Ireland (JYSK Ireland)
What remains unclear
- Exact in‑store availability of specific models in each IKEA location
- Long‑term durability of budget models (LACK, TONSTAD) compared with solid‑wood (HEMNES)
- Active second‑hand market on Adverts and eBay fluctuates; 48 results at time of writing may change quickly
- JYSK expansion in Ireland may shift competitive dynamics (Livingetc)
“HEMNES bedside table, grey‑green stained solid pine, two drawers, height 65 cm.”
– IKEA product description (IKEA Ireland)
“IKEA bedside table, good condition, €30, collection Dublin.”
– Typical listing on Adverts.ie (Adverts.ie)
For Irish buyers, the bedside‑table decision boils down to a simple trade‑off: solid‑wood longevity from IKEA, veneer value from JYSK, or upfront savings from the second‑hand market. For someone furnishing a first flat on a budget, a €30 used HEMNES beats any new budget model – if you can find one.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most affordable IKEA bedside table?

How long does it take to assemble an IKEA bedside table?
Most IKEA bedside tables take 20–45 minutes to assemble, depending on the model. The TONSTAD can be done in 15 minutes; the HEMNES with two drawers and a solid‑wood frame takes about 40 minutes (IKEA Ireland assembly instructions).
