Sleigh-style Cherry Changing Table

The furniture is cheaply made, but you get what you pay for. It took my husband & I about 1 1/2 hours to assemble. The first half of it was a piece of cake, but we had to fight with it for the second half. The pieces were mislabelled compared to the instruction sheet, but it was easy to figure out regardless. First you set up 1 side of the table and attach all of the horizontal bars to it. That's the part we didn't have any problems with. Then the next step is to slide the shelves into the groves of each level. Each shelf was a little warped and wouldn't easily go into the groves. We could have used a 3rd person to hold it all together so it wouldn't keep popping out. We eventually got it and were able to force the other end of the table together to keep it in place. The cherry color was exactly what we were looking for. Our nursery furniture color is called cabernet (by Munire). It's a dark cherry and I found that other manufacturers cherry color was too light to match ours. This Badger Basket changing table was a very close match. The changing pad that comes with it the changing table is so cheap. It's only about a 1" thick pad w/ no conturing. I don't even know where you would buy a cover for it since it's so thin. We will be using a regular contoured changing pad purchased elsewhere. Overall I'm happy w/ the purchase for the price. I don't expect it to last forever, but it will do the job and compliments the other nursery furniture nicely.

Overall I give this changing table 4.5 stars. The color is beatiful. Table is very sturdy. Size is good, has a lot of rooms to put stuff. The only thing is if those inserts could be a little bit thicker. But since we are putting our diapers and wipes there, it still holds pretty steady and doesn't seem like it's gonna fall. We had a little trouble assembling it, you need at least 2 people doing it, if there's a third person holding on to it, it will be very helpful. It was that difficult overall.

While this isn't a high-end product it is stable and suitable for the price. I saw the same thing at Babies R Us for nearly double the price. One piece did come cracked but it was quickly replaced by the manufacturer. I am not sure how it would hold up for multiple children but it should be sufficient for the 3 or so years necessary for 1 child. I am satisfied with the quality for the price.

The table's color was lighter than expected but still a good cherry color and the shelves are made of a flimsy material. BUT for the price it is a good value. The shelves are ok as long as nothing very heavy is stored on them and after it is assembled it seems very sturdy.
