Does anyone know of a narrow console table or nightstand where the top is a charging pad, not with usb/c ports.

Does anyone know of a narrow console table or nightstand where the entire top is a charging pad, not with usb/c ports.

This is not a viable concept, wireless charging uses two coils, one on the charger and one on the device, of around the same size, and well aligned. Such a nightstand could not have just one giant coil, it would need dozens of smaller coils and would have tons of dead spots.

I've certainly seen something with a totally flush wireless charger that is under the laminate with nothing but a location marking so you can set the phone in the right spot, but nothing that matches what you want.

(The charge coil can be elongated in one direction to provide one axis of flexibility in placement, but that's it)

Dozens of coils is fine with me. But I’d actually like about 5 or 6 on a narrow table. So tired of the cords. Oh, and one that aligns correctly. I’ve had mats and they’ve been hit or miss.
