Why you'll love it: The
Delta Children Eclipse Changing Table is easy to assemble and sturdily built.
Along with lack of sleep and lots of messes, one of the drawbacks to having kids is the glut of stuff that fills the home. Suddenly, there are toys, bibs, bottles, and more littering the floors and covering the countertops. Also, there are the bigger items: cribs, high chairs, diaper pails, and swing seats. One of the largest items many new parents acquire is a changing table, which is functional but seldom stylish.
Not so with the Delta Children Eclipse Changing Table. It's a fine-looking piece of furniture, designed to match all sorts of different home decor. The table, with its two shelves and safety rails around the top panel, is made from sturdy wood and wood composite materials and is available in six different finishes, including black, white, gray, and several wood stains.
The Eclipse table comes with a changing pad with a strap, so you can enjoy peace of mind during diapering. It will also serve just fine as a bookshelf or even a bar once the diaper days are done, so don't think of it as a transient piece of furniture. Though at about $100 depending on the finish you choose, it's okay to pass it on, too.
With nearly 900 reviews posted at the time of this writing, the Delta Children Eclipse Changing Table enjoys a 4.4-star overall rating on Amazon. One mom called it "sleek and sturdy" and said the table "held up beautifully over 18 months of constant use." And many people remarked on its ease of assembly. One of the few recurrent complaints was that the table was a bit too low for taller parents.
A product reviewer from MomTricks.com agreed on the ease of assembly, saying it "takes only about 20 minutes" of work and noting that the dual shelves offer enough space "to store all of your diapering supplies."
Pros: Handsome and versatile, easy assembly, available in many colors, good storage space
Cons: Too low for taller parents
