Baby change table
This is a fairly simple change table I made for the little apprentice, stained to match his cot/bed.
It is made out of 70 x 35 pine. Overall height is 950mm, not including the curved bit at the back. The table top is 800 mm off the ground, and sized to fit the change pad I bought for the top.
The front and rear are the one piece, which was biscuit joined. The sides are attached to the front and rear with connector bolts and through dowels
The shelves are 140 mm lining boards and are recessed in a 12 x 12 rebate on the inside of the sides and ends. The casters are the ones with the long shaft inserted in the bottom of the legs.
All up it cost a bit over $100, which is a fraction of the $300+ at the shops for similar
photo 1 & 2 show it with and without the change pad.
photo 3 shows the side.

Nice work....
Don't forget that once babies are out of the way, that the change table can be used as another "operating" table in the workshop. especially useful with the wheels.

Hi Brian,
I reckon it looks great! I do like the design with the pull out drawers, I'd imagine it would make storage a lot easier (not that I'm talking from any experience in this field, mind you!).
However, I'll probably be making one in a few years time, and I hope you don't mind too much if I keep your idea in mind.
Good one!
Nathan.

Hi Brian,
I'm looking at making a simailar change table. Bub due in Sep. I'm only just starting off with making stuff so it might be a silly question, but was wondering what connectors you used?
Cheers
Manuel
