Beautiful piece of furniture for baby's room
We bought the changing table and the convertible crib. Overall we have been happy with both--especially with the look of them in the room--but there are a few things to consider about the changing table.
1. Be prepared for arms and legs (...and toys...and shoes...etc.) to go through the gap between the bars and the changing table top which could be dangerous if you pick up the child while the appendage is sticking through. Also the bars can become great handles for getting up or for fighting being changed--especially if you child is as strong as mine!
2. Finish scratches VERY easily. This doesn't bother me too much because it is a child's room after all. I have just learned to be more careful with my wedding ring to keep it from scratching the finish and keep my daughter from biting the rails and leaving bite marks.
None of these problems were major for us but as first-time parents we hadn't thought of those potential problems ahead of time. The drawers are nice and spacious and putting it together was not too hard. We have needed to tighten the screws a couple of times since the initial assembly.
Again though we are VERY happy with this product overall as it is nice real furniture piece for a relatively low cost.
**Updates #3-5 now that we have used this for a longer period of time.**
3. Be prepared to do frequent tightening of the screws. As they loosen the whole piece of furniture gets very wobbly.
4. The drawers were spacious enough for infant clothes but they don't fit toddler clothes nearly as well. So while the crib converts to toddler usage and beyond the dresser/changer won't last you as long.
5. On the plus side my very active 2-year-old has been very hard on this piece and it has held up quite well to her climbing jumping and other rough use.More detail ...
