looking for very narrow bedside tables

Hi!

Hoping the combined power of the MSErs can help me find a couple of very narrow bedside tables.

I am limited to a max width of 30cm for each table, but can't find any that narrow - have looked in the usual places, and googled, but no joy (have tried different search terms, but may be missing a trick!)

Does anyone know where i can get these type of tables??

Any help hugely appreciated:D

    Would you consider making them yourself? My friend lived in a very small, cramped flat once & once her bed was in the bedroom there was hardly any room at all for bedside tables, so she bought plain pine shelves from B&Q (for about £3 each!) & some leg type bits of wood (again from B&Q & also V cheap) & just made them herself. She varnished them when she was done & voila!! They looked really nice actually! Failing that do you know any joiners who could knock you some up cheap?

    How about the one 15th down on this page (sorry I couldn't narrow it down to just the one)

    or this (it states plant stand but think it would be just as pretty by a bedside)

    I've also seen a mirrored cube used as a bedside table where there wasn't much space however think they may be quite expensive and a pain to keep clean

    We have wall-mounted rectangular shelves instead of bedside cabinets, which were cheap and space-saving. Looks a bit like a nice hotel room!

    We were looking for narrow tables for the lounge and I found some old oak beams that had been cut to a suitable length. They are doing their duty quite nicely, they have split which is to be expected with 8" of solid oak in a centrally heated house. They were not exactly cheap, and they are very heavy, but they make great small table!

    Mine were from Ebay (search oak beam tables) but I am sure you could get them elsewhere.
