Putting this together was very easy. I was able to do it myself. The finish is really nice and it seems very sturdy. I love that it came with a changing pad and that is a lot thicker than I thought it would be. The pad fits a standard cover so it’s easy to keep clean. The shelves underneath are great to store diapers and other supplies. We will be using this once our baby arrives. It also looks very sleek and goes great with our nursery.
