The five stars are earned by the furniture and Amazon. The manufacturer gets zero stars. My husband and I purchased the entire DaVinci Parker set and were very pleased with the appearance, ease of assembly and craftsmanship of the products. There are no magicians necessary during assembly and the product has sound materials. Solid oak it is not, but neither is the price. However, there were some damaged parts during shipping and we contacted Million Dollar Baby (the manufacturer) to request replacements.

The process is ridiculous. There are no phone numbers to contact. We had to fill out incident reports on each item and include photographic evidence of the damaged parts (good luck on taking pictures to prove pieces are missing), including our original invoices showing our shipping address to prove we were actually the buyer. The website clearly states a response will be issued in 72 hours.

Two weeks later we got an email stating that our request was incomplete and we needed to submit additional information in order to be sent the replacement parts.

In the meantime, we had contacted Amazon regarding the issue. In the time it took Million Dollar Baby to respond another additional furniture set was shipped to us, so we could find the replacement parts necessary and ship back the broken pieces with the replacement to Amazon. Thank goodness we ordered through Amazon or this would've been a nursery nightmare.

This unit looks fantastic and it does get the job done. I have the crib from the same collection and they do look very nice.

However, during assembly of the changing table I was shocked by the cheapness of the materials. A large percentage of the surfaces are a very flimsy material with a simulated wood grain finish.

The most disturbing part was the top piece which the changing pad (and your baby) sit on.

Also, the finish on the few pieces that are wood is very easy to scratch, and the changing pad that comes with it is very bad. We replaced the pad with a much thicker one from a local baby store.

+Good looks
--Quality of Materials
-Color doesn't really match the rest of the set

By the way - the crib in this set is beautiful and has MUCH higher quality.

Well, I ordered this product from our local exchange (we are military overseas) in March. It came in June, with a piece broken. So we re-ordered it, and when we followed up a few months later at our exchange (they say catalog orders take 3-6 months to arrive so we were trying not to be "pushy"), they said they thought the order was already taken care of. So given the fact my daughter was already 6 months old, and fed up (but still wanting a matching set to go with the crib), I researched online and thank goodness Amazon had the same table for $50 less, and it arrived un-broken the first time, within 2 weeks of ordering!

I think I had searched earlier after the table arrived broken under the phrase "Million Dollar Baby" because that is actually the brand name of this changing table. But I didn't see it at first glance; but I which I wish I had researched further months ago, because it did in fact come in a Million Dollar Baby box.

The table itself is sturdy and I think it's a lovely set. It took over an hour for my husband to assemble, but he is not much of a handyman, but to his credit it did look a little difficult, and hence the 4 stars. It has a lot of storage space on the shelves which is one reason I wanted this table and not another. The color itself is sort of cream, not even close to a true white, so I think the term pearl white is somewhat misleading. It does come with a thin changing pad but we bought a thicker one long before the table even arrived. :) Overall i would purchase this set again; I just wish I had known amazon carried it before my daughter was able to crawl!

I was very excited to get this product. I spent days looking for a product that would meet our needs and that looked great. I love the look of it, but was disappointed when the product arrived. The drawer bottoms and the changing table bottom are particle board. For a little baby, this probably fine, but if you are using it for a Toddler, you'll want something that's more of a solid wood and something that is more durable.

Product is easy to assemble (although I did put on the doors out of order, because it was simpler that way). Love the cherry finish--exactly what I had wanted. Changer is sturdy, but light and easy to move around. I was able to put it together when 7 months pregnant. Love the height--nice and tall so I won't have to bend down too much. I am getting a different changing pad, but I knew what to expect from previous reviews, so I was not surprised by how thin it was. Overall, I am extremely satisfied.

Overall great iteam... Looks good in the baby room. I do wish it had more space on the top side to place a basket to put baby diapers, powder in etc...

My wife and I love the crib. The style was perfect. Putting it together was fairly easy, if I would have followed directions it may have been quicker. I just opened it and started assembly. Like the crib the changers construction seems very solid. The only complaint again like the crib is that it more of an orange color than an oak. It makes a great addition to our nursery. We ordered this crib on a Monday and we took delivery of it on that following Friday. Great service Amazon.

Great changing table. Very beautiful. I may recommend however to get a thick changing pad like a SERTA. The one that comes with the dresser is extremly thin and baby may hit their head by accident. Building it was easy and goes very well with the rest of the Da-Vinci nursery.

The color is so orange, not like any oak I've ever seen. Took 3 people to assemble. Not high enough quality for the price.

We purchased the entire Parker set for our April 2010 arrival. The bed and the chest of drawers are very sturdy and made primarily of real wood, but the changing table is another story. The changing table is mostly thin manufactured board and very little is real wood. The top is a thin piece of the manufactured board and seems a bit wobbly for a child heavier than a newborn. Since the top will be covered by the changing pad -- We're going to add a real wood reinforcement. The piece is nice, although the color of the sides and top don't match the real wood pieces as well as I would like. All in all -- it looks fine, but I would probably opt for a different changing table next time around that won't require modification.
