I built this as a changing table to match the convertible crib plans published by the same people. It went together fairly simply off and on over about a month's worth of weekends. I made several notable changes and my wife is very happy with the way it turned out. First, I added 3" to the bottom drawer height. This brings the table top up to a more comfortable height, as changing babies on lower table heights hurts my back. It also adds a good bit of storage. Second, I straightened the cap strip to match what I did with the crib. I like the way it looks better and it simplifies construction. Finally I changed the joinery on the drawers. The plan calls for rabbet-joints, but I didn't like that little of a glued surface area for a part that will be stressed daily so I changed it to simple finger joints. Overall I found the plans simple to follow and overall project medium difficulty.
Very well written plans and a nice end product
