When I picked out this dresser, the baby wasn't born yet. I was sure that I wanted cubbies for quick access to items during changing. That turned out to be true. However, baby is now a toddler, and also loves having quick access to anything stored in the cubbies. Be forewarned. :-) One other caveat: This worked great for our tiny apartment and tiny baby. Some friends' babies are much larger, and are now too tall for comfortable changing on this dresser. Overall, decent quality for what we needed. The drawers work fine and hold plenty of baby clothes. My husband can't stand the fact that the drawers don't pull out all of the way, but agrees that it makes the dresser more stable. YMMV
