A bedside table for a children's bed - when is it needed?

A bedside table for a children's bed is not always the first piece of furniture on the shopping list, but in many rooms it quickly turns out to be very practical. A child needs space for a lamp, a book, an alarm clock, tissues, glasses, a water bottle or small items that need to be at hand before going to bed.

When does a bedside table make sense in a child's room?
