We have the 3 and 8 drawer Hemnes dressers and have used the changing pad on both—it works fantastic for us. We actually still use it, and my daughter is now 22 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-2000645 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 07:34:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2000645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the 3 drawer one, I'm 5'1 so I have to lift LO up to my boobs to get her on but its not really an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-2000613 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 06:11:20 +0000 looch 2000613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a Hemnes piece as a changing table, it was a door cabinet, but it was similar in height to the two drawer dresser.</p> <p>I think you can modify the leg height if you need to, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-2000571 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 01:08:35 +0000 littlejoy 2000571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: We use the modern wood tone + white drawer dresser from IKEA. It's perfect. Ours only has 6 drawers. For me, the key was a narrow depth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-2000558 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 00:38:15 +0000 wonderstruck 2000558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Hemnes in D's room and a shorter Ikea dresser in L's room. When I first started using the Hemnes it felt tall to me (I'm 5'5) but I got used to it very quickly and haven't had any issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-2000383 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 21:26:20 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2000383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the 3 drawer Hemnes as well.

I don't have the Hemnes, but have changed LO on it many times at my friend's house. I'm 5'4' and it's a bit too tall for me. I'm sure I could get used to it, but I always feel a bit uncomfortable using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-1584198 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:30:13 +0000 avivoca 1584198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 5'5" and have no problems with a standard height dresser as a changing table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-1584193 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:27:34 +0000 MRSJX3 1584193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: We have the Hemnes 8 drawer in our bedroom. I don't think it would be too tall. I'm really tall (6'0) but I honestly don't think it would be too tall for you at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-1584171 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:16:40 +0000 catlady 1584171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Hemnes dresser with a changing pad and it works great.

It's actually more important that the dresser isn't too short because bending down to change the baby when newly post partum can be difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-1584101 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 14:51:20 +0000 PinkElephant 1584101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this dresser and used it as a changing table - I'm 5'4" as well and it was perfect. To be honest I moved to a floor changing station by maybe 8 or 9 months as LO got way too wiggly anyway :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-1584047 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 14:28:07 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1584047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a standard height dresser we use. i am 5'2 and have no problem. my mom is something like 4'10 and she has a hard time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresser-as-changing-table-height-issues#post-1584020 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 14:17:53 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1584020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning on using a dresser as a changing table in the nursery and I'm wondering if anyone who has done this has had any issues with the height of the dresser? We're thinking we'll get the Hemnes 8-drawer from Ikea, which I've seen in a lot of nurseries on Pinterest. I'm 5'4" and DH is over 6' so he won't have any trouble with it. I'm just wondering if anyone has found the dresser as changing table option to be too tall? Or has it worked out okay? Thanks! </p>
