If you are looking for an interesting alternative to a traditional nightstand or end table, you might want to check out this relatively inexpensive piece of furniture. These Japanese Shoji lanterns are available in a variety of finishes and sizes. Some even include features like the ability to dim the light to match the mood or setting.

These shoji lights are based on the traditional Japanese screens that are used to provide privacy while still allowing light to pass though. The idea is to use a softly glowing light source to brighten up dark interior spaces with a a peaceful, diffuse light. This is a nice alternative to the blazing electric glow provided by more traditional light sources.

These tables are designed to do more than just sit there and act like a traditional piece of furniture. Although these look like tables, their main function is to light the room. The shoji lanterns give off a soft glowing light that adds to the atmosphere of the room. That said, most are not designed to be heavy duty pieces of furniture that you will stack large items on. These are well suited to being light duty pieces of furniture that are relatively inexpensive and which add to the warm feeling of the room without taking over.

The tops of some of these tables can be removed which makes changing the light bulb inside a snap. There is some easy assembly required for some of these shoji tables.
