Dresser with changing pad....

How are you finding dressers that are tall enough. Most pieces that I am finding that I would want to use are in the 30" range which I know will be too short for me Changing tables are around 41". I'm thrifty and looking at older dressers, credenzas and buffets as options, but I haven't had much luck finding anything taller than 30". Campaign dressers and chests are 30-31" :( Suggestions?

  • I'm 5 ft 10 in. The dresser I bought at BBB has been working just fine for dd's changing table.

  • We have the Ikea Hemnes 8 drawer in ds1's room. It is perfect.

  • I have the Ikea Bierkland 3 drawer dresser and its a great height.  The changing pad also adds another 2-3 inches.  I'm 5'6", so she ends up laying right about high belly height on me which is perfectly comfortable.  MH is 6'2", and while I do most of the diaper changes, he's never complained about it being too low for him.

  • We were running into the same issue looking at older dressers and them all being too short. I am 5'9" and don't want to be uncomfortable every time I have to change him. We ended up finding a dresser at a little shop that refinishes furniture, it's 30" tall but they had another 32" tall dresser there that felt like a good height for changing (FTM here though, so maybe I'm wrong). The 30" dresser had no legs, so they're going to add custom legs to raise it up 2" for us. It's still being done, so I can't comment on the success of this, but is that an option for you maybe?
