Combo crib/changing table?

Did anyone buy a crib with the changing table attached for their LO?  I was looking at maybe getting one for the new baby to save a little space, but I wasn't sure if she would play with the changing pad and pull it into the crib once she is standing.

Can anyone give me some pros/cons?

    I always heard to stay away from them.  If you put anything on them, the baby (when older) has more of a chance of pulling the stuff down on them and into the crib.  Also, when they're older, I've heard they are easier to climb out of, and use the changing table as a launching pad to get down. 

    A friend of mine has a DD who did just that, she pulled the mat into the crib, and some of the other stuff and used it to climb out.

    I had one that I used for DS and I think it's great!! It does save space and has drawers on the front and storage on the side. The only thing I had on the changing table area was the changing pad and nothing else. DS has never tried climbing out of the crib but would pull the changing pad off when he could stand but that's not a big deal. I say go for it!

    We have our changing pad on top of his dresser, and the dresser is built for that because it has a higher bit as well that we put stuff on, and then shelves behind the door to that part that we keep the diapers on.  It has worked out great and might be an option for you to save space.

    That's what we have for DS and I like it, but I am trying to go cheap and space saving this time (the room is small).  There is one of those large Ikea Expedit bookcases in the future nursery right now (you know the ones with the square shelves?) and I am going to get some drawers for it for baby clothes and supplies.   I was going to either buy the Graco Lauren crib and changing table, or a combo crib/changing table.
