I have a changing table and I love it. I have issues with my back and it keeps me from having to bed over too far.

Yeah unless you need the extra storage, I really just like the idea of the changing pad on a short dresser. That is what my mom did for my brother and I. Once she had my youngest brother she got one and regretted it. Just a waste of space and money.

I don't have alot of space either

I got a crib with a table attached. but when I had it separate it was a waste. I more so got it for the storage

The changing pad is like $25 versus hundreds of dollars for the whole changing table. And I also don't have a lot of space right now. But that's just me.

That's a good idea too thanks @babymay2016

for is it was a waste of money.

I honestly think its a waste of money and also a waste of space, unless you have a lot of space. I have a pretty low lying dresser and I plan on just having the changing pad on top of his dresser.
