 Big changing table Mar 07, 2009
By A. Riley
Make sure you read the size of this changing table carefully before you make a decision. I made the mistake of glancing at the size and eye balling the dimensions in our very small nursery. However I am happy with the purchase (I did manage to find a good spot for it)!
It wasn't easy for my husband to put together and in the process he nicked the item a little but I would still recommend this purchase. For $185 with free super saver shipping you just can't beat the price.
The quality of the wood is decent and the pieces came intact. Expect to spend a while trying to put it together especially if you are doing it yourself.
Also note that the white is a true white like the picture. The drawers move in and out easily and the cabinet has 2 large shelves in it. I think it's just lovely and am happy we got it!

Great product for tall people Mar 31, 2011
By BabsMil
I researched a lot trying to find a changing table that could provide the space needed for my small nursery, without breaking the bank. This one caugt my eye, but I was a little skeptical after reading some of the reviews. Also complicating matters was the fact that I waited until only a month before my daughter was due before I ordered most of the nursery items, and I was afraid this would not arrive in time. Well, it arrived within 2 weeks of ordering in good condition. The box was REALLY heavy, so you will need help lifting it if you're not taking the pieces out one by one.
The table looks great and all the drawers slide easily, plus it is a great height for tall people (I am 5'9 and my husband is 6'4). It makes changing diapers much easier since we don't have to bend over. There is plenty of storage for 3 baskets to put diapers, burp cloths, etc and then 3 drawers for all the clothes and other items. Plus there is a large cupboard space with 2 shelves. Realy good use of space. The changing table is long enough that I can put the wipes warmer and some diaper changing items (lotion, powder, etc) and still have room for a large changing pad. There was one small nick inside the cupboard portion of the table, but since no one can see it, it's no big deal. The wood is a composite, but looks sleek and fits well with my other baby furtniture that is real wood. The reason it gets a 4 instead of a 5 is b/c there were a million pieces and it took my husband and father-in-law 5 hours on a Saturday to put together (and they are both very handy!)--also it does smell and needs to be aired out for at least a week or 2 to get rid of the odor. Overall, great purchase for the price.

Had I known... Mar 14, 2012
By Miranda H Turner
Two things that I would have liked to know before purchasing this item, either of which probably would have made me re-think the purchase. First, the back and drawer bottoms are flimsy cardboard, not wood (or "wood product," for that matter). This is more or less fine for the back, but people put things in drawers and sometimes those things are heavy. I would prefer something sturdier.
Second and more importantly, this was truly comically hard to put together. Other reviews mentioned this but don't really emphasize it enough. If someone sat around and thought very hard about how to make assembly maximally time-consuming and frustrating, this might have been the result. The materials are needlessly complex; as but one example, instead of having drawer knobs with embedded screws, which would allow you to just screw the threaded end straight into the drawer, there is a separate knob and a screw, and the instructions call for you to insert the screw both through the drawer and into the knob. Seven times. You are supposed to do this manually, which leads me to my next issue, which is how very, very wrong it is to claim, as the instructions do, that one does not need power tools for this job. I can say precisely when I would have quit had I not already pulled out my drill: at step 21 of 34 (yes, 34, many of which had sub-steps a through c), which called for screwing a 50 mm screw into a piece of presswood with an inadequately pre-drilled hole. It was hard for me to get the screw all the way in using the power drill. I think it would have been impossible without it. The drill also came in handy when I came across several "Robertson screws" to insert, a type of screw that I had never heard of but in any event seems eminently substitutable for a screw that would fit a commonly owned screwdriver. Like, say, a Phillips. Fortunately, we had a drill bit that was apparently Robertson shaped. I could go on, but leaving all this aside, it is the case that we finally got the thing together and I'm 9 months pregnant with a decidedly non-handy husband (I'm not super handy myself). If we can manage, so can others. But use power tools and be prepared to spend 3-5 hours.
I have some other minor complaints as well, such as how dirty and dusty the thing was when delivered. Presswood coated in sawdust is not closer to real wood. It just makes a mess in the baby's room. Another is the large and permanent warning on the back edge of the table top border. You can't see it in the picture on amazon and you can't remove it. It warns that if your baby falls off a four-foot high surface, it could get hurt. I am sufficiently aware of this risk to feel comfortable covering the warning with stickers, but would prefer if it my nice new changing table didn't have nanny-state printed all over it.
In sum, I would not purchase again. However, I'm familiar with the maxim "you get what you pay for." The price is quite low and now that it's all together, I think it will be quite serviceable.

Wonderful height for taller buyers Dec 08, 2010
By kacie
This changing table is huge, it was much bigger than I thought it would be once put together.I am 5'10" and it comes up way past my bellybutton. It is very heavy duty, but very complicated to assemble is the only drawback.

Happy with my changing table! May 28, 2010
By CC
I love this changer considering the price and quality. This type of changing table usually cost a lot more than this.
My only complain is that some of the parts are damaged/chipped. Good thing is you can order the parts through the company with no charge.
