Childrens bedroom furniture

My 5yo DT's are growing out of their cotbeds and are going to move from one shared room into their own rooms. What furniture do your 5yo's have in their bedroom - do they need bedside tables at this age? I guess they will be reading themselves soon so may need a bedside light soonish. Each of their rooms have a fitted wardrobe, at the moment the only thing they have in their rooms are beds. Do you have desks/shelves/book cases in your dc's bedroom? or is that for when they are older?
Any ideas for nice furniture? TIA

yes to bedside table and bedside light -- in case they wake up in the night, would also think a book case would be useful.

Look on ebay and freecycle.

ds1 (5y3m) has a bed, a bedside locker with a light on, bookshelves (tidy books type, but made ourselves) above the end of his bed and a desk and chair (this is a full size desk and swivel chair that we had in the loft) with a fitted shelf above. He uses his desk mainly for hama beads atm, but also has colouring books and felts there and sometimes colours or writes. He also has a cd player and some nursery rhyme and story book cd's.
