I owned another changing table prior to this one and in comparison this one is 100x better. 

Looks- it looks like a nice piece of furniture, the lines and seams of different pieces all line up perfectly. 

Durability- it's not super heavy, but appears very sturdy. The hardware is more heavy duty than my last changing table. 

Functionality- it's big enough to change even a toddler on while storing diapers, wipes, everything all within arms reach. It's the perfect height where I don't feel like I'm bending over at an awkward angle to change my baby. The changing pad does not shift or move and the strap keeps my little one from squirming too much and is an added layer of security (not that I'd take my eyes off baby ever).
