I really like this changing table because of the extra slats on each side.  It looks very nice in the baby's room next to the dark chocolate crib.   One of the best looking changing tables that I have seen!  The pad is rather thin but most pads that come with changing tables are.  We plan to get a thicker one to go with this table before the baby comes.  I could not be happier with this changing table or the price that I paid for it.
