Project

Custom Nightstand with Hidden Wireless Charger

Build Date:

I built this nightstand because I could not find one with the length and width I wanted for the bedside space. It started as a Fusion 360 model, then turned into a hand-built cabinet with my first drawers and a few custom details I wanted from the start.

The top hides a wireless charger under a thin round acrylic insert, with a 3D printed holder mounted below the surface to keep the charger close enough to work cleanly. After the build and drawer fitting were done, the whole piece was finished in matte black chalk paint.
