It's quite clever until you stub your toe on it at 4am.
Would it hurt anymore than a normal bedside table though?
Yes
Probably since it's not smooth, so you'd also cut yourself
Wood might flex a bit and absorb the impact, making it hurt a bit less. Concrete won't.
Not even that - a wooden nightstand is much lighter than a stack of cinder blocks. If you kick a nightstand hard enough, it'll hurt like hell but the table will move. The bricks will not.
You just described furniture. And doors. And pets. And cars. And bridges. And...
Do you often stub your toe on bridges at four in the morning?
I'm telling ya, it's a fucking minefield out there. At 4am? Doubly so.
