This bedside table, made by one of my favorite furniture designers, Madeline Stuart,  is absolutely ideal.  It has a drawer to hide the remote controls and whatever else you like to have by your bed.  It is a truly classic piece with simple, clean lines.  It is something you could most definitely pass on to your children and it would never go out of style.  You could make the piece feel more contemporary or traditional based on what lamp you choose to go with it, making it a very versatile piece.

Splurge on the furniture that will be versatile, that will age gracefully and that you will love for a long time to come.
