DS needs one - raised bed, but not loft. Any suggestions? Thank you. |
Let me guess. You did a bed party. |
There are probably 300 options on wayfair |
Perhaps something that is multifunction such as a chair or barstool that could double as a table or seating. |
Are you sure his dorm doesn't come with one? My son's dorm has a clip-on ledge on each bed and my son has found it's enough for his phone and whatever else he needs to keep bedside. |
The nice thing about wayfair is you can search by the height you need. Find out how high the bed is (including the mattress) and work with that. Something like a 2 or 3 drawer filing cabinet might be a great way to add storage and double as a bedside table. |

1. Super easy to DIS-assemble when it is time to move out. 2. Lightweight. Easy to pack up. 3. Rolls under the bed when you want it too be out of the way. 4. $15! 5. Can be used in a variety of functions later if you don't need it by the bed. Use it in the bathroom or kitchen (when you have an apartment). |
My DS had this at his bed at home - and purchased a 2nd for dorm

Check Marketplace around the college and see what people are selling. |
My kid got this one https://www.target.com/p/folding-3-shelf-black-metal-with-natural-wood-shelves-brightroom/-/A-85036087 or a similar one with wheels. |
If you are drivable and want to reuse and want something solid and useable - the Alex drawers from IKEA are nice.
Otherwise if it needs to be more moveable choose something from Target like suggested. |
This. My kid put his water bottle, eyeglasses, phone charger, etc on it. Easy to access. With a shelf you risk knocking the stuff off getting in/our of bed/in your sleep. |
Dd has a narrow rolling cart. Comes with drawers for the win |
Most kids I know used the set of plastic drawers from Target. |
We bought something like this. It’s mostly enclosed but has an open shelf and the top. It is the perfect height for her raised (non-lofted) dorm bed
