My wife wanted a changing table for our first son. I asked her what she wanted as far as shelving, drawers, etc. and I went from there to design this changing table. What she didn’t know was that I also designed it to have the top portion to come off so that when our son was older he could use it as his first dresser. I built this in late 2009 just prior to his arrival in 2010. We are currently using it for our second son who was born this year and it’s still in great shape. The best part was that it was inexpensive compared to the products out there.

Less expensive and built a heck of a lot better. Looks great.

Thanks. Yes it’s survived one move and hundreds of diaper changes and everything that goes with them.

are these an original design? It looks very nice. Did your wife request the moldings?

Thanks for your comment. It is an original design and she did not request the molding. I had used molding on projects in the past for looks and when I decided to make the top portion removable I found that the spare molding I had looked and functioned right for the dresser.
