Very happy we purchased this dresser. Also, I'm 5'3" and could change her on there, no problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2121236 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 11:48:36 +0000 shopaholic 2121236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Very good to know! Thanks!</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: Yes! Very important! I had one that had some cheap board for the back. It drove me bonkers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2121188 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 11:14:00 +0000 Mommy Finger 2121188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FWIW, I've had a dresser from IKEA for about 13 years and have moved it at least 3 or 4 times and it's still holding up great. So it is possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120860 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 07:49:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 2120860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I would suggest is to check out the bottoms of the drawers. I have one that has cardboard instead of solid wood, and obviously after a year or so of holding clothes or blankets the bottoms of the drawers have warped. But mine is really really cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120764 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 03:45:33 +0000 lamariniere 2120764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the one in the picture and have had it for 2 years and use it as a changing table. I find that the quality is good for ikea. It has also been moved once and held up after the move (unlike our ikea wardrobe). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120763 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 03:42:13 +0000 buttermilk 2120763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning to purchase that same one for the nursery. I have had an IKEA dresser for 3 years now in our bedroom and it's held up just great! We got the raw unfinished ones and I treated them myself with Danish oil &amp; put new knobs on. Love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120646 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 20:59:05 +0000 Zbug 2120646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Hermes that doubles as a changing table. It's great but other ikea dressers we have are crap. Do lots of research! Hopefully that's a good one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120592 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 20:06:51 +0000 shopaholic 2120592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: @Kimberlybee: Thank you! I'll have to make a trip or two to Ikea I guess! I just find it so overwhelming. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120576 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 19:49:12 +0000 Kimberlybee 2120576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I have an expresso version of this and it has held up well going on 4 years now. We are not rough with it and use it for clothing and have a Flat screen TV on top, so it will probably last us for a while since it is still in great condition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120575 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 19:48:15 +0000 JessKas 2120575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it might be too tall at first but got used to it. And I'm only 5'4. I looked at the one you posted as well and I think that would make a good changing table. </p> <p>They feel a lot sturdier than other ones dressers I've had in the past! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120572 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 19:45:57 +0000 shopaholic 2120572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh! Thanks @JessKas:! The tall (4 drawer) one? That's okay height for changing table too? I was thinking this one with a changing pad on top might work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120568 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 19:44:16 +0000 JessKas 2120568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the tall version, which I use as a changing table in the nursery. I love it and it's held up well in the past 18 months. It's the mandal series. </p> <p><a href="http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/series/12264/" rel="nofollow">http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/series/12264/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-dresser#post-2120553 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 19:33:21 +0000 shopaholic 2120553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have this dresser from Ikea? Know what it's called and attest to the quality? I've heard very mixed reviews of Ikea dressers and had a terrible one myself in the past.</p> <p>[attach=2730/15/nlqs7l.600x399.3578395328ec472b14fc068f327af8aa.jpg] </p>
