I personally don't call it a 'nightstand' any more than those who disagree with me do, but if the translation is for commercial purposes, the commercial name should be used. I believe it was invented to cover the variety of styles that are now available.

BTW, do you have a picture by any chance?

disagree  Jennifer Levey: All you've proved with your stats is that Google has found more US pages than UK. The 'preferred term' in en-uk is 'bedside table'.
46 mins
  -> Au contraire. It's used commercially in the UK, too. The translation is commercial, and that's the commercial name - not what we call it at home - on both sides of the pond: 4.7 million hits for "nightstand + UK". I have posted a number of references.

agree  Jonas Teixeira (X): Funny, for a US mass retailer to call such a piece of furniture a 'nightstand' or 'end table'. If asker is American, why would answer be wrong? Be[d]sides, 'nightstand' is shorter than 'bedside table'. Pls, see http://www.walmart.com/cp/Night-Stands/91
