Does the charging station need to be plugged in?

Yes. The charging station runs from a cord that goes to a wall outlet, so plan for a cable behind the nightstand.

How much space does it need beside the bed?

It is 23 inches wide and 15.4 inches deep, so allow roughly two feet of width and a foot and a half of depth plus clearance for the drawer.

The single retractable drawer suits small items such as a phone, glasses, remotes and chargers. It is not sized for books or bedding.

It is built mainly from wood, but expect a mid-range finish rather than solid hardwood at this level.

It typically ships flat and needs assembly, so set aside time for putting the drawer and legs together.

The top sits at a typical nightstand height, which lines up with most standard bed frames.
