When it comes to tech, my fatal flaw is my inability to keep tabs on my chargers. Perhaps it has something to do with my pet peeve for clumps of cords piling up behind nightstands and side tables, but whenever I need one, it always seems to have been 'put away' or left in another room. Until I discovered this smart side table from Wayfair — which cleverly conceals a 'triple threat' under its sleek and stylish silhouette.
Yes, I think this may just be the best side table money can buy. With a rich walnut wood finish, tiered open shelf, and deep drawer, it is optimized for storage, while the modern mix of chrome and wood means it's also super stylish. But what's the black bit at the bottom, you ask? A speaker, of course. And that's not all. This side table completely removes any need for cords and chargers, with wireless charging integrated into the tabletop, and a warm LED light glowing underneath. See what I mean about triple threat?
When you're entertaining, you can get mood lighting, music, and somewhere to charge phones, all in one place. And it looks good while doing it — it truly is the embodiment of chic and quiet tech, a big interior design trend for 2025.

You can charge multiple devices at the same time, sync the speaker to your phone via Bluetooth, and even pair two side tables together for a surround-sound experience. It's got a rating of 4.9/5 after 10 reviews, with multiple customers commenting on how clever and convenient the light inside the drawer is. Another genius move by Brayden Studio®.
For some, introducing more tech into our lives seems scary, but when it's slipped in so seamlessly through clever design, how could you not? And it turns out this isn't the only nightstand on the market that does it.
So, no more searching the in the dark through a tangle of cords — I have searched the internet for all the chicest smart side tables out there, to save you the trouble. Below are six of my favorite designs, that will keep your phone charged and your space stylish.
