The Thuma Classic Nightstand combines warm walnut wood, a clean cabinet and thoughtful bedside storage. The 20-inch Walnut version costs $495 individually. These five Amazon alternatives follow that warm, understated furniture look, with different drawer layouts, materials and heights. Two keep a drawer with an open shelf, while the others add more concealed storage or built-in charging.

The Original
The Classic’s continuous rounded frame surrounds one smooth drawer and a generous open shelf. Its shallow inset top keeps the surface visually contained without adding a separate tray.
The Alternatives
Five warm wood alternatives, with the differences that matter beside your bed.
Vadisun Black Walnut Nightstand
The Vadisun gets the rich walnut color and softly rounded cabinet right. Broad, plain drawer fronts and recessed finger pulls keep the face quiet, while the open shelf leaves room for a book or glasses. Vadisun lists solid black walnut construction, making this the strongest starting point here if the wood itself matters as much as the look. The linked version has two drawers beneath the shelf and short tapered legs: it changes both the Classic’s storage arrangement and its grounded base. At about 23 inches high, it also sits higher than the 20-inch Classic. The cabinet arrives assembled; the legs need attaching. Choose it for the warm wood and restrained design, with more closed storage.

Three more ways to get the warm wood look, with different storage and price points.
Huuger Walnut Charging Nightstands, Set of 2
The Huuger pair is the practical choice when both sides of the bed need to be finished at once. Each walnut-finish table has a raised gallery edge, an open shelf and one fluted drawer, so books stay within reach while smaller bedside essentials remain concealed. The charging station includes outlets, USB and USB-C ports, keeping a lamp and phone connected without a separate power strip on the floor. The engineered-wood cases and tapered solid-wood feet make these lighter and more decorative than the grounded Thuma cabinet, and the fluting is a clear departure from the Classic’s plain front. Choose the pair for useful storage, coordinated scale and strong value in a guest room or primary bedroom.
Best For
A coordinated pair with built-in charging
Pairs Well With
Walnut furniture, linen bedding and simple ceramic lighting
Walker Edison Mid-Century One-Drawer Nightstand, Walnut
Walker Edison has the Thuma Classic's layout exactly: one drawer on top over an open shelf, in a plain walnut box with clean beveled edges. The case and drawer arrive pre-assembled, so you only screw in the legs. The difference is the base: it stands on angled mid-century legs where the Thuma sits low on a flush frame. At 23 inches tall it suits most bed heights, and at about $143 it is a fraction of the Classic's price.
Best For
The Thuma drawer-and-shelf layout for less
Pairs Well With
Walnut furniture, linen bedding and simple ceramic lighting
Furniway Two-Drawer Nightstand
Furniway is the budget choice for the warm walnut look: two broad drawer fronts, discreet recessed pulls and a simple square frame. Its wood grain is more pronounced than Thuma’s, but the brown finish and uncluttered face work naturally with a walnut bed. The case is engineered wood with solid-wood legs; the listing does not establish soft-close drawers. At about 20.5 inches high and 19.6 inches wide, it keeps a relatively low bedside profile. Both compartments are closed drawers, so choose it when you would rather tuck things away than display them on an open shelf.
Best For
A low-cost walnut look with closed storage
Pairs Well With
Walnut furniture, linen bedding and simple ceramic lighting
A Lighter Drawer-and-Shelf Option
One compact single with open storage, a concealed drawer and slim wood legs.
JOONEE Walnut-Brown Nightstand
JOONEE keeps the storage arrangement simple: one open shelf for the book you are reading and one drawer below for everything you would rather not leave out. The walnut-brown finish, rounded case and recessed drawer pull give it a calm profile, while the narrow fluting adds texture without visible hardware. Four tapered solid-wood legs make the table feel lighter than Thuma’s continuous base, which can be an advantage beside an upholstered bed or in a smaller room. Choose it when you want the Classic’s balance of open and closed storage in an easy, compact single nightstand.
Best For
A compact single with open and closed storage
Pairs Well With
Walnut furniture, linen bedding and simple ceramic lighting
The Verdict
Our choice for the warm walnut look
Start with Vadisun if you want real walnut and a softly rounded cabinet. Huuger supplies a coordinated pair with charging; Walker Edison matches the one-drawer-over-shelf layout in walnut. Furniway is the lower-cost option for a simple brown wood look.
JOONEE is the compact single when you want both an open shelf and a drawer. None combines every Classic detail. Match the nightstand height to your mattress and decide whether you need one table or a pair before choosing.

Thuma Classic vs. the Amazon alternatives
The finish and overall shape bring these pieces together. Their storage and construction separate them.
Thuma vs. Vadisun: which is better for real walnut?
Choose Vadisun for solid black walnut and more closed storage at a lower price. The rounded case and dark wood make a convincing companion to a walnut bed. The linked Vadisun has two drawers, an upper shelf and tapered legs; Thuma has one drawer over a lower shelf and a grounded base.
Thuma vs. Huuger: which is better when you need a pair?
Choose Huuger for two coordinated nightstands with built-in charging. Each table combines a fluted drawer, an open shelf and a raised top edge with outlets, USB and USB-C ports. Thuma uses solid wood and a quieter plain front; Huuger offers more function for both sides of the bed in one order.
Thuma vs. Walker Edison: which is the closest layout?
Choose Walker Edison for the same drawer-over-shelf layout in walnut. Both put one drawer over an open shelf in a plain walnut box. Walker Edison stands on angled mid-century legs and uses engineered wood; Thuma sits low on a flush frame in solid wood.
Thuma vs. Furniway: which gets the walnut look for less?
Choose Furniway for a budget-friendly cabinet with two closed drawers. Its warm finish and recessed pulls keep the face simple. Engineered-wood construction, straight legs and a flat top distinguish it from the solid-wood Classic.
Thuma vs. JOONEE: which gives you open storage for less?
Choose JOONEE for one compact table with a drawer and open shelf. JOONEE keeps open and closed storage in a warm walnut-brown case, then lifts it on tapered legs and adds a fluted drawer. Thuma is lower, quieter and made from solid wood.
