    Furniture maker here: Would a night stand with open cubbies on the front like that be popular? That would be fairly easy to build out of wood.

      Honestly yeah.

      The ability to have your mess slightly better organized, and cheap.

      Yeah

          Drawers tend to become a void of lost things, something with many small open shelves would keep things in a “organized chaos”.

          You also make a lot of noise when you search trough drawers.

            That’s what most people think when they buy big book cases. Little do they know those things are dust/junk magnets. No matter what you do little knick knacks and other random crap always find their way into them.

          Drawers have to be opened and searched through. Cubbies are simpler to fill and find things in

          Well yeah. Because drawers can get filled with sand, and I don’t like sand, it’s course and rough and it gets everywhere…

      It’s basically the cinder-version of an Ikea Kallax shelf, which also allows per-cubby accessories like baskets, doors, and subdividers.

                I read it as a neutral “this is something Deadpool would say”

      It’s like a bedside wine rack, 11/10.

      Also, wood would not put scratches on all my possessions.

      Absolutely. It’s a simple design that makes it easy to find things in the dark, and provides plenty of storage space for various bits and bobs you might want easy access to before bed or in the morning (not just that, get your mind out of the gutter!). Make sure at least one of the cubbies are large enough to take an oversized hardback book, and ideally have some space under it to hide an extension cord so you can plug in your phone charger and a bedside lamp.

      That, but hinged in the middle so you can crack it open and access the inner cubbies

        So you want the whole front half of the cabinet to swing open like a door? Thinking back to a VHS caddy my parents had, the problem there is sag.

          I don’t think the actors guild cared that much about where you put your tapes.

            No not the Screen Actor’s Guild, the other SAG, Slumping About Gravity. Technical carpentry term.

      Everyone thinks this is a good idea until they have it and the dust builds up constantly. Drawers were invented for a reason.
