Have yet to test this changing table, but it seems very sturdy.  I like that the changing table portion of the dresser will be easy to remove to transform it into a regular dresser.  The only downside to this item is the amount of time it took my husband to put it together.  It took a little over 3 hours total, but he did do it by himself.  I would imagine if there were an extra set of hands, it wouldn't have taken nearly as long.  Can't wait to use it!
