This is one I made
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f40/baby-change-table-48242
Didn't use plans, just bought the change pad and copied the basic design from a Boori change table. If you want more details I can post more info.
A few others have made cots etc.

I built one last year. I basically went to my local baby shop and measured up a Boori one, as I think they look good. I made it much higher as I am 2m tall. The width and depth dimensions were determined by the change table mat. The most difficulty I had was installing the shoulder bolts, as the ends can be disassembled. I do not have a pedestal drill, and the holes were not square, so I had much difficulty getting the shoulder bolts to thread on to the nuts.
The ends are haunched hand cut mortise & tenons.
Mine was made out of some scrap oregon and MDF for the shelves. Finished it off in enamel, but probably should have used baby compatible paint.
Here are a few pictures.
Cheers,
Tom

A tip from a 6 foot Dad - you need lots of stuff to change a baby, don't know why, but you do. So unless you want to keep bending down to find the next item required, while holding down a feisty 2 year old who wants to do Buzz "Falling with Style" Lightyear off the side of the table, put loads of storage space next to the change table at the same height, or slightly lower.
This is what our change table looks like after three years of heavy use. I didn't make this, but if I was going to, I'd put buckets or boxes of some sort along the side, probably at least 150mm off the side of the table - think big enough to store 20 toddler size nappies. I'd probably make them to be detachable and hook on to either side. Of course you could do what we did and buy them from Ikea.Cheers, Richard

I haven't got a picture of the one I made but it was as follows:
Made to sit on a chest of drawers
Made to fit an insert plus storage space at one end of it
Padded head board for when the little one wriggles around. Believe me it saves sore heads!
Cheers,

I made this one
It's a copy of a kingfisher one (or king parrot or whatever the @#$!% thing is called). The top is removable so it is a set of shelves later on.
One feature that it has is being heavy enough for a 2 y.o. to climb up the side of it without it it tipping over. Next step is to get her to change her own anppies

Made this change table from tassie oak using measurements taken at the local baby shop. Made it taller than normal as we are both 6 foot.
Also made two cots from tassie oak with slide mechanisms from projects america for the twins who arrive in December.

The book shelf is something the wife saw and liked so I had the job of making.

Here is the link to their web page, but to order "crib parts" you need to phone them for "saftey reasons". I found them to be really helpful. I went for the stealth hardware which is concealed in the cot side (must be at least 1" thick) whether the side is up or down.
Took about a week for delivery.
