Gun Storage at Night? These 4 Gun Safes look like Nightstands

Sure, you can own a gun safe that sits on a nightstand, but what if you want a gun safe that ACTUALLY IS the nightstand. Unfortunately, there aren’t quite as many options for that! However, we have found the ones we think are the best on the market today.

This nightstand by Rhino Metals is my favorite gun safe that looks like a nightstand. While it may not be a diversion safe, as it does look like a safe (and a nightstand), it has an incredibly distressed finish, a true safe-style locking mechanism, and a round handle.

With a 14 gauge steel construction and fire protection of up to 40 minutes at 1400 degrees, it is also the only product on this list that genuinely is a gun safe instead of just a diversion safe without proper security. You will also find this safe on my list of awesome nightstand safes!

If you have spent much time on this site, you have likely seen me mention the Tactical Walls brand. They offer great prices on high-quality diversion-style safes. The nightstand looks like a nightstand, making it difficult to tell that there may be anything stored on the inside unless you know where to look.

So, how does it open? This nightstand opens up a hidden compartment underneath the top of the stand that opens via magnetic keys. You place the magnetic key on a specific part of the nightstand, and it releases an internal pin that allows the bottom to drop down, revealing your valuables or firearms.

Another great feature? It’s one of the least expensive versions of a nightstand safe on this list.

The American Concealed brand has a reputation for being one of the best in concealment furniture, and that is no different when it comes to their nightstand. A quick look at their quality; and you know they are furniture first and gun safe second. This means it’s not only for firearms and valuables but also is furniture you likely will pass down to your kids.

Unlike the other options on this list, instead of a bottom dropping down or the top lifting up, you slide out the sides of the nightstand to reveal pistol pockets.

This is also one of the most customizable nightstands on this list, as they have 21 stain options at the time of this writing and many other customization options.

If you are on the hunt for a concealment nightstand but don’t have a large budget, it isn’t going to get much better than this one!

Its simple design and lack of options allow it to be the only unit on this list that is under $100. However, it can still maintain precisely what is needed in a safe that looks like a nightstand which is to look like a nightstand, but be able to store firearms.

With a warm brown finish and felt-lined interior, there isn’t much else other than that! You can store your valuables in a hidden compartment that drops down from the inside of the bottom of the nightstand, which is opened by a simple latch mechanism on the bottom of the top.

What should you remember when looking at gun safes that look like nightstands?

If you are on the hunt for a good safe that looks like a nightstand, these few things are what you should consider when doing your shopping.

1. Security

Like all diversion safes, security (in the traditional sense) is not top of mind, as these safes rely on the bad guys being unable to help locate the items rather than protecting your valuables and firearms from brute force.

Because of that, for the most part (other than the Rhino Night Stand), they are all made of wood with elementary locking mechanisms.

Consider this before you buy, as these aren’t great options if you want to keep things away from people who know about this nightstand. For example, children.

2. Quality

A vast range of products in this category have different quality standards. However, you can generally assume that the higher-priced units are going to be higher quality (duh).

Make sure to research and make sure that you are buying what you need. You should not have to spend a lot, but be aware of the quality of the unit you are buying.

3. Usability

This safe protects your valuables and will live a double life as something you put your phone, alarm clock, and watch on at night. So make sure you buy a unit that will work for your purposes, outside of having hidden compartments.

4. Does it look like a nightstand?

While this may be obvious for those reading this article, make sure your nightstand safe is actually a nightstand. Otherwise, it will stick out like a sore thumb and be the first place a thief will look. If it seems out of place, it’s not secure, so get the right one for your home.

Other options than an actual nightstand

So you have read this article and realized that a safe that looks like a nightstand is not for you. I recommend these articles, as they might give you some good ideas for other options.

Conclusion

This article gave you some great ideas to start your hunt for the right gun safe that looks like a nightstand. It is always fun to write these articles, as it is fantastic to see how so many different companies offer a similar product that is made oh-so-differently.

Good luck on your buying journey, and I hope this helped you find the product you need.
