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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
They feel a lot sturdier than other ones dressers I've had in the past!

@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.

@JessKas: @Kimberlybee: Thank you! I'll have to make a trip or two to Ikea I guess! I just find it so overwhelming. lol
-
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.

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 & put new knobs on. Love!

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).
-
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!
-
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!
-
@lamariniere: Very good to know! Thanks!
@mrs. wagon: Yes! Very important! I had one that had some cheap board for the back. It drove me bonkers.

We have that exact dresser (the Malm?) in my daughter's room, and used as a changing table up until she potty trained last month. it's held up great, and she can now open/close drawers easily to get herself dressed. Very happy we purchased this dresser. Also, I'm 5'3" and could change her on there, no problem.
