Dresser.
Her nursery is too small for both and I want to be able to re purpose it for her "big girl" room. I was consciously checking dimensions when selecting a dresser to find one close to the height of a changing table.

Count me in the floor/dresser/any available flat surface camp. LOL. I've babysat my nephew almost weekly since he was born, and only used the changing table a handful of times. It was no use to me after the first few months, when he got bigger and more squirmy. I was always afraid he would roll himself off. But it doesn't bother me to be leaning/kneeling at this point, either. Maybe I'll change my mind when I'm sporting a big baby belly.

We have an antique buffet table. My mom and I were looking at furnishure in an antique store that refurbishes the furniture, and we saw it and fell in love. It has drawer space, and it's open on the bottom so that's where we keep the basket of diapers and little trash can. There's no room on the top for anything but the changing pad, but it works just fine for us.

I love our changing table because unlike a dresser, where the changing page just sits on top, the changing table dips in so that the changing pad doesn't slide around. I can attached the changing pad to the changing table and then strap the baby onto the changing pad. There were a few times that I had to step away from the changing table to grab diapers or clothes or whatever and felt better knowing that the changing pad was securely attached.

@Mrsdaredevil: Ooooh, I'd love to see what people have done with the changing table! I was thinking we can use it as a book shelve or something.

@miss-spunkin: I wish I was 5'8"!

We don't have a dresser and don't plan on buying one until we buy our lo a furniture set after she grows out of the crib. I bought a cheap changing table that has lots of places to store diapers and essentials and all of lo's clothes are in the closet.

@Mrsdaredevil: Thank you for the links! I'm TOTALLY gonna turn mine into a buffet table. Love it!!! I looked at our changing table last night and realized it would make the perfect buffet table.

we bought a changing table that came as part of a 3 piece set {crib, dresser, changing table} its useful because it has two shelfs underneath so we are already storing a lot of the baby stuff under it and cloth diapers take up a lot of space. It is also higher and I think more secure than using the top of a regular dresser and since I'm tall I prefer this
