After much swearing, pinched fingers and rage...DH - 1, changing table - 0. And now its time to rearrange the living room so we can figure out where to put this "larger than I thought it would be" device.
I give up trying to get a ticker. I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome. Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself. Hmmm. How about...

Re: DH versus Pack n Play changing table
mine is 4 feet long by 29" wide by almost 3 feet tall. Its a pretty major piece of furniture. I got the Graco Modern. The dimensions do not count the canopy or changing table.
Did you get a Graco? I put ours together last night, while DH was out with friends. Now I'm glad I did, b/c I have waaay more patience than he does & had to disassemble parts of it a few times to get everything together right.
I agree, it's a mammoth piece of furniture. I'm not sure where ours will go either but at least now I don't have to listen to DH cuss for 2 hours while he puts it together.
All of the reviews I saw for our PnP (Safety 1st Travel Ease) said it was super easy to put together, and it totally was. Took me 15 minutes (and 5 min of that was me figuring out that one of the parts in the box was wrong).
I wonder what makes it different than the Graco ones, assembly-wise. I'm in love with how easy ours is to take apart and put together, because it's pretty wide and needs to be collapsed to move it from room to room.

The pack n play itself was super easy. It came pretty much assembled. It actually packs up pretty slick. The one we got came with a changing table attachment and that was in a few pieces. You have to get 2 bars threaded through some fabric then get them both into 2 pieces of plastic at the ends. There is only one angle to achieve this without changing the laws of physics and it took a while for DH to find it. Once its together, its very easy to attach and detach from the pack n play.
