Data collection
-> After researching these existing products, I have
found that these following measurements are the
average dimensions for most bedside tables:
Height: 76cm
Depth: 45 cm
Length: 50 cm
•Height: 50 cm
•Depth: 35 cm
•Length: Adjusted to suite my preferences and
accommodate the items i plan to store on the bedside
table. Common lengths for bedside tables are
typically in the range of 40 to 60 cm. I might choose
a length based on my storage needs and the available
space next to your bed.

Therefore i believe that the measurements


above are suitable for the Bedside table

Aesthetic: The bedside table is finished with a sleek black lacquer, imparting a modern and sophisticated appearance. However, black may
not be as forgiving with visible dust and smudges, requiring regular cleaning. The table is designed to complement various bedroom styles and holds
essential items conveniently.

Cost: Priced at Rs 3612.00, the cost is considered reasonable given the quality materials used in its construction. While it may not boast the longevity of
hardwood or softwood, the materials ensure a durable and well-crafted product.

Customer: This bedside table is versatile and suits a range of interior styles, from minimalistic to modern designs. However, it's important to note that the
table has sharp edges, posing a safety concern, especially in households with children.

Environment: Constructed with eco-friendly materials, including recyclable particle board (LDF), stainless steel, and galvanized steel, this bedside table is
environmentally conscious. The materials are recyclable and can be repurposed, although there is a risk of rust with the metal components.

Safety: The table features sharp edges that may pose a safety risk, particularly in households with children.

Size: The dimensions of the bedside table are 108 cm (W) * 34 cm (D) * 50 cm (H). The height is designed to be comfortable for users, including children,
without causing undue stress.

Function: This bedside table provides a convenient storage solution, allowing users to organize essential items within easy reach.
The design includes metal rods to prevent dust and debris from accumulating on the surface, offering a practical and tidy solution.

Material: The bedside table is constructed with particle board, a cost-effective alternative to traditional wood. While it is denser, it's essential to note that it
may be more fragile compared to solid wood.

Looks - The small table stands by itself and comes in three colors that work in most homes. It's slim and can fit in big spaces where you need
something. The design is inspired by cabins in the mountains, but watch out because it has pointy corners that might not be safe for families
with little kids.

Price - It costs Rs. 4900, which seems okay to me considering how much stuff it can hold and the materials used. Most people should be able
to buy it.

Who It's For - I think it's good for big families with all kinds of homes. It has 15 places to put things, but not the best for families with little
kids because of those pointy corners.

Eco-Friendliness - It's made of MDF, which is good for the environment and can be recycled. The design makes it easy to use the parts for
something else.

Safety - Even though it's made of strong MDF that doesn't break easily, those pointy edges could be a problem, especially for little ones.

Size - It's 48 cm tall, 105 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. I think it's a good height for putting things in, not too tall to cause problems.

Usefulness - This table helps you keep your stuff organized and your home tidy. It's practical for that purpose.

Material - It's made from MDF, a strong material made from recycled wood fibers and resin.
