It is a deal, plain and simple. The price is okay and the item is neat to look at. We were looking for something neat and contemporary/modern to go with the rest of our furniture but we couldn't get any which was within our budget. We decided this would do because it was simple enough and still had the compartments to organize our stuff out of sight. Other modern designs were priced okay but were made of shelves only-we wanted to keep the clutter hidden. This fit the bill.
Regarding the product itself-it required some assembly which we expected. I put it together took an hour or two. Tools came with it and were fairly easy. The changing pad it came with was very thin but it did not matter as we already ordered for a thick one before we got this-sizes were standard. It comes with a snap on belt to keep baby in place while changing. The height is perfect and saves my back while allowing enough gap to be close to the baby.
The wood is light enough but not flimsy. The canvass looks like...canvass material. It is not as clean and straight lined as in the photos. It IS just fabric after all. It does the job and has a nice relaxed look =) Size is good and sufficient. Drawers are generously sized but not heavy duty (fabric with cardboard lining). It fits in a big pack of diapers when we get the big box of it-the two packs inside the box fit in okay. One pack fits in, plus wipes and cream-that's what we have on the top drawer. The 2nd drawer has reserve diapers. The third one is free for whatever (for now).
Yes I would recommend it if you are looking for the same thing as we were and if you have about the same budget.
On a non-technical note, our one month old stops crying when we put him on this table-he knows he's about to get a change and I guess he likes it.
