Hemnes 2-Drawer Nightstand with Open Shelf
IKEA · Furniture > Bedroom Furniture > Nightstands
Era / Decade
2010s-2020s Contemporary (Current production model)
Material
Massive pine (solid wood), fiberboard, acrylic paint, and metal hardware. Unlike most IKEA furniture, this line uses solid wood, which is a key value indicator.
Condition
Fair to Good. There are visible surface scratches on the top plane, paint chipping/wear on the lower shelf edges, and minor scuffing on the drawer fronts. Structurally sound but requires cosmetic touch-ups.
Demand Level
Strong. IKEA Hemnes furniture is consistently searched for on local marketplaces because it is solid wood and relatively inexpensive. Demand is highest in late summer during 'back-to-college' season.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$40.00 (Low/Quick Sale) - $65.00 (Mid/As-Is) - $85.00 (High/Cleaned and Touched Up)
Estimated Retail Value
$119.00 - $149.00 (depending on region and local IKEA pricing)
Comparable Sales
Used Hemnes nightstands typically sell for 40-60% of retail on Facebook Marketplace. Recent sales range from $35 for heavily worn units to $90 for like-new versions in popular colors like white or black-brown.
Description
Contemporary grey nightstand featuring two smooth-sliding drawers with brushed metal knobs and a spacious open bottom shelf for books or storage baskets. The classic Shaker-style recessed drawer fronts and tapered legs offer a timeless aesthetic that fits modern, farmhouse, or transitional decor. Approximate dimensions: 21 1/4"W x 15"D x 26"H.

Flaws to Note
Visible paint loss and white scuff marks on the lower shelf; minor surface scratches on the top; potential minor alignment issues typical of used flat-pack furniture; permanent paint wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or Craigslist. Large furniture items are best sold locally to avoid high shipping costs and facilitate easy pickup.
Selling Tips
Wipe down with a damp cloth and use a grey paint touch-up pen on the shelf scuffs to significantly increase the price. Take photos in natural light against a clean wall. Mention 'solid wood' and 'smoke-free home' in the listing to attract serious buyers. Use keywords like 'Grey Nightstand', 'IKEA Hemnes', and 'Side Table'.
