A changing table was not part of my to-buy list when I was still pregnant and preparing for the arrival of my baby. I and my husband didn’t think we needed it. You can change your baby’s diaper on the bed anyway, right? When the baby came and I unexpectedly had a C-section, I realized it’s unbearable to bend down. We started looking for an inexpensive but high-quality changing table. Safety was our top priority. We read reviews to find tables that are durable without breaking the bank. This led us to Delta Children. So far, I’m very glad we got this changing table. It has helped me a great deal with changing my baby more so late at night. If you’re looking for a sturdy changing table, read on and you’d see why I like this changing table.

Assembly and Design

The assembly is more difficult and time-consuming than I thought. I ended up feeling satisfied after seeing the finished product. It looks as elegant as it did in the pictures. It also feels very sturdy and doesn’t wobble. The box does not come with wood glue but I suggest getting one. Applying it on the spots where the wood dowels and holes meet would make the changing table more solid. You should put glue on the slats too.

This elegant changing table comes in 5 beautiful colors. I chose between espresso cherry and dark chocolate but finally decided on the former. The color makes the table look very expensive. If I could have our dining table or vanity table in any color, I would choose the same color. This wooden changing table would look great alongside other wooden furniture. Our nursery has a wooden cabinet and crib so it was only fitting to get a wooden changing table.

Features

The table comes with a changing pad. The pad is water-resistant, making it easy to clean and dry after washing. It also come with safety straps, useful in keeping your baby secure on the pad. While it is a good addition, the pad is too thin so I immediately replaced it with a thicker one. I reckoned my baby won’t feel comfortable laying down on it. I am still using the same safety straps that came with the original pad.

The safety rails are higher than they appear in the pictures. They are effective in protecting your baby from falling on the sides. The rails are strong and secured with plenty of screws. I suggest that you occasionally check on the rails. I try to shake them to see if they are still secure. Screws can loosen over time. Checking them can tell you if you have to tighten them again. This can prevent any potential accidents in the future.

My favorite part are the storage shelves. The 2 shelves are spacious and around 11 inches tall. Getting storage bins to organize diapers, towels and toiletries has helped me to maximize space. The bins also make the table look tidy. I’m happy that the shelves keep things within reach so I don’t have to walk over to a cabinet or dresser to grab for what I need.

The table is on the shorter end of things. If you are below 6-foot-tall, the height would be fine. However, if you’re taller, you will have to bend more. I use this many times in a day and the changing station makes it very convenient to do an otherwise tiring job. I know a lot of moms who find changing their babies exhausting.

In My Opinion

The changing table is very sturdy. It doesn’t wobble at all. I have no doubts about its durability. To top it all off, it’s not even as expensive as those sold in stores. I understand why people don’t like shopping for furniture online. You can’t see what those furniture really look like. Durability is also something you can’t see from pictures. That’s why it helps a lot to read reviews. I do this in every single online purchase I made and it has paid off. It’s the same case with this changing table. This Delta Children changing table did not disappoint. I’m an Amazon Prime member so I got it with free shipping.
