Project Information

This Changing table and Dresser I made for the lady who works for me who just had a baby. I wanted to put something on top that would keep the little guy from rolling off the top. I tried to match the color of his crib/bed, so I used one coat of Minwax Dark Walnut with a coat of Minwax Red Mahoany on top, with about 6 coats of poly sprayed on, rubbed out in between. I was pretty happy wit the results, and so was momma.

The 4th picture has a board from the bed/crib that I was trying to match. It's not exact, but it's in the neighborhood. This was a fun build. The hardest part was installing the Enormous drawers, about 33×24 deep.

The top piece, sides/shelf, is made of solid red oak, with mitered corners and the shelf is dadoed in.

There is a lot of play between the slides when the drawers are that big. Thanks for looking.

Tim, Very appealing work. What did you use for drawer slide mechanisms?
You do great work. I hope the new mama is suitably pleased.

Thanks for the comments! I used side mount metal full extension drawer slides. The drawers are so big, if you can't open them the whole way you'll lose a lot of useful space back there.

one of the hardest things is trying to match the color of other projects if you don't have the exact stain.. I think you did great in getting the color to match.. looks good my friend
