Abstract:
The bedside table is usually manufactured with a size around 53 cm – 71 cm width, and its
height should not exceed the height of the bed and should not be too low from the bed. The
primary function of this table is to place personal items such as telephones, books, novels,
magazines, bedside lamps, medicines, and watches. Bedside tables are generally made from
solid wood, particleboard, and other engineered wood; some use iron. Feedback from the
respondents is that they want a low-price side table that can be folded to save some space in
their bedroom. Therefore, in this project, a bedside table was produced using a plank of pine
wood, blockboard, and MDF panel to reduce costs and utilize the wood waste from the
polytechnic wood workshop. This table also can fold by using the table fold bracket, which has
a self-locking that can support and strengthen the table leg at 90 degrees. In this project, the
total cost of the Mejikar Table is below RM 78.00. Therefore, it successfully produced a bedside
table at a reasonable price.
