  • Who the hell would look up "nightstand" on wikipedia anyway? Some people do not think before they write. Delete please. Rdsmith4 01:45, 6 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Expandable. anthony (see warning)
  • Delete. Pointless and badly written.I'm impressed - Andrewa has made this actually worth keeping. DS 01:01, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, esp. if we're going to keep bread clip (as I feel we should). Somebody, somewhere knows the history of nightstands, famous nightstands, etc. (and yes, I ripped that sentence off from somebody--credit is given). Meelar 01:11, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Expandable, I've started. Photo of an old one coming if we do keep it. Andrewa 04:46, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete or rewrite - poorly written --VTEX 05:23, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. There's probably something interesting to be said about designs over the years in the context of antique furniture etc. They always come up with stuff like that on Antiques Roadshow... DopefishJustin 05:59, May 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • I'll be doggoned. This went from kiddie-speak to useful stub! Keep. - Lucky 6.9 21:39, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

Photos added as promised. Format is a bit iffy. It works OK but not great with IE6 and the default skin, and I've yet to find a skin that works at all with IE5 and any page containing photos. Please, if you think you can tweak it to work with all or even most browser/skin combos, do so. Andrewa 10:00, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Who the hell would look up nightstand, you ask. I did. I was looking at an art piece called Not-a-one-night-stand nightstand, and got curious about the derivation of one-night-stand. Having found that,I wondered how nightstand got its name.

Does anyone else think the statement "In the United States, pistols are often kept in nightstands for easy access if roused from sleep by an intruder." is slightly misleading? --Funkmaster 801 09:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
