I recently have been looking for a dresser to go in my son’s bedroom.
My baby boy is about 15 months old and he still needs to be changed on a changing table.
The issue is that a standard dresser isn’t deep enough to get the job done. I really need countertop width. I also have a specific length that can hold all the diapers, wipes, soap, lotion, washcloths, and Desitin that my son needs on a daily basis. So I started looking around online and couldn’t find anything in my specific dimensions. I then realized that the best course of action would be to go the custom furniture route. I had the dimensions. I knew I needed a wide and long top and with multiple drawers on bottom. I knew I wanted shelving to hold all the extra diaper refills, wipes, and diapers. I knew how tall the shelving units had to be. It was all there in front of me. So I contacted a custom furniture builder and talked about a custom made changing dresser for my son. They made the dresser out of a gorgeous pine. It is a drawer and door that you open with divots in the side rather than hardware. That is nice since my son can’t open them and I don’t need to babyproof them. The best is having an extra deep and long top to change him on. It works perfectly for our needs. Yes, I won’t need to change him forever and I will have a wide dresser, but I am planning on having another baby soon.
