Changing table - dresser

Submitted by sloneal on Fri, 09/05/2014 - 15:06

The storage on the dresser is great! I added a changing table top with routed dividers for changing pad and other accessories. I attached the top from above into the dresser frame with recessed screws so it can later be removed and a plain top added (I added a cross bar in both directions to the dresser frame under the top to support the additional weight). I used rough cut poplar from a local lumber yard except for the drawer boxes which are plywood. The legs on my version are made from 2 1x2½" boards cut on a 45° bevel on the table saw. I used full extension side mount metal slides. It was somewhat difficult to attach the drawer slides with a very pregnant belly - my husband helped out with that, not to mention lugging around lumber and painting. It helps to have an extra set of hands on assembly with a big piece like this. Thanks for great plans.
