Badger BasketSleigh-Style Baby Changing Table with Changing Pad and Safety Belt- Espresso Finish, Elegant Design with Ample Storage for Diapers and Baby Essentials

This table looks so cute assembled and seems sturdy. I'd read some reviews that the bottom shelves would collapse, but my table came with an addendum to the assembly instructions saying that all three shelves now had a metal brace in the middle. Hopefully that's in response to other people's complaints and fixes the problem. I've only just assembled it, so I can't comment as to the durability, but it seems well sized and sturdy. The white is a pure white.Assembly was relatively easy and straight forward. The instructions could have used a few more words, but they were pretty simple to figure out. I will note, though, that you do need 2 people for about 5 minutes of the work (took about 30-40 min total). You start with one short side, attach all of the 8 pieces for the long sides (two at the top shelf per side), then slide in the boards for the shelves. Then you have to get all 8 of those long sides to fit into place on the final short side. It's not overly challenging, but I tried for a while by myself and just couldn't get it - getting one in place would pop another out. With the second person, you get all of one side in place, hold that side down, then the other person does their side. Took less than 2 minutes with the second person, so save yourself time and frustration and get another pair of hands for that part! Most of the pieces in the set are not labeled, but figuring out what is what is fairly straight forward. The two exceptions are: the long side bars for the 3 shelves look identical, but the ones for the top shelf actually have a slightly larger groove (because the shelf is thicker - a good thing!). They are labeled, but it's easy to miss it, even when you're looking out for it. The second exception is the 3 shelves themselves. One is thicker, but none of them are labeled, so just make sure to check and see which is the thickest and that is the top shelf. In my set that one was unfinished on the bottom (which is a shame because you actually may see it, unlike any of the others). On a final note, the table doesn't come with covers for the screw holes on the side. Not a huge deal, but the holes are fairly large, so with 8 on each side, it'd be nice if they came with a little plastic piece to pop in.My one complaint is with the warranty. The paper inside the box says that you have 30 days from the date of purchase to note any missing or defective parts. I understand they want to protect themselves, but with baby items, there's a good chance other people are buying them for you and you have no control over how quickly you get them. Or, like me, you weren't ready to assemble all of the furniture right away. Luckily I had no issues, but just be aware that if you do, and it happens to be more than 30 days since it was purchased (and if it was a gift good luck even figuring that out), you may be out of luck.Final random note: my box had two pieces of cherry board (I ordered in white) that were damaged. I was worried at first that they had sent the wrong pieces, then I was worried because they were damaged, but they actually weren't part of the set. I don't know if they were purposely there for extra packaging (one at each short end of the box) or what, but it was really odd. Turned out to be fine, but just don't panic right away if the first piece you come across is the wrong color and broken!

I almost didn't buy this piece because of some of the iffy reviews but I am glad I focused on the positives. It's a $90 piece of baby furniture, you get what you pay for ... BUT this product surprised us in a happy way. It is not rickety in the least. I told my husband about some of the reviews and he was baffled as to how some people thought that the top was flimsy or this would be unsafe. It is NOT remotely flimsy or unsafe, and we have a crazy mover and shaker baby who loves continuously thumping his feet and drumming his heels on the changing table. I never worry about him on this product--esp with the sides on the top..not all products have that.It is clearly marked what wood piece goes on the top vs the 2 shelves so make sure you are putting the right wood piece on the top--it's the strongest of the 3. Also, this is a cheapo product so yeah sometimes the holes aren't aligned or you have to MAKE a screw hole but assuming you have basic tools that isn't a problem. My husband put this together in less than 15 min and double and triple checked all the screws and the sturdiness. We love this product, our baby is now 4 months old and we bought it when he was 3 days old. After he outgrows it, we'll put it in his closet for 'storage'...love the open shelves and the cherry color is a true dark cherry, not too red and not too dark. I saw some similarly priced items in competitor stores and they LOOKED cheap, with lots of easily nicked areas. This product does not look cheap. We put this in our family room and it blends nicely with other furniture due to it's simple style.Absolutely GREAT changing table for the price and we had Prime so 2 day ship was free. You can't beat that!!

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and assembled this by myself today pretty easily. The instructions were easy to follow, but anyone should be able to figure it out without the instructions. The shelves are very thin (not wood) but will hold diapers, etc. just fine. The shelf piece under the changing pad is thicker than the shelves, but still not solid wood, more like thick dense cardboard. The wood is pretty but scratches easily. The changing pad that comes with this table is a sorry excuse for a changing pad. It's about 1/4" thick piece of foam. I'm glad I ordered a different pad. I would recommend using your own good quality screws for assembling this as the ones provided strip out very quickly on the heads. I think it's sturdy enough overall and it's a good buy for the price. It's not meant to become a family heirloom or anything, but will do the job.

... but that's really the only great thing i have to say about it! The espresso is darker than our other espresso furniture, as another reviewer said, closer to black. I love the look of it and have reefed on it so I'm sure it will be sturdy enough for use. Maybe we got some crappy hardware or the holes were drilled funny but my husband and I had a hell of a time putting it together. I assembled our crib myself within an hour at 7 months pregnant, but this piece took both of us a couple of hours. The two shelves aren't intended to hold much weight at all, it will be fine for diapers/wipes/other lightweight baby items but don't expect to use it beyond that. Got a good deal on it so I can't complain too much.. that being said I know how prices can fluctuate .. if it's anywhere near the retail price - run, don't walk away! :)UPDATE: 2/17/14 - My son is now 3-1/2 months old and we had to stop using it, he's getting too long for me to even have a soft pack of wipes on the changing pad with him and when he starts kicking his legs the entire table shakes a bit.

Delivered v v v late (1.5 months delay)The product is complex to assemble and I have scratches on the surface - not sure if they were already there or were caused during assemblyOtherwise product is fine - price is a little high
