Changing table is just as it appears in the picture.  It was very easy to put together and looks great in my daughter's nursery.  It is great to have the two shelves for storage below the table and a standard changing pad fits.  The table comes with a pad but it is very thin, therefore you will want to buy a separate changing pad.  Also, it is sturdy enough for changing a baby but it can wobble a little if you lean on it too much.
