baby dresses, two pieces
Fair price, SUPER FAST SHIPPING, arrived in 2 days. Fair s/h. Matches other new furniture in nursery....crib and changing table. Easy to assemble. Directions for assemble were not in box, but company was called and they actually downloaded the direction to me. Very pleased

don't put it together yourself
I agree with the other reviews. We experienced similar problems when trying to assemble our changing table, and it was all because of the poor quality of craftmanship in the SIMPLICITY product. We finally had to contact the store where we purchased the product, and they generously removed the one we couldn't fit together and replaced it with one that their furniture assembly specialists put together for us. it only took us about 2 months from the purchase date to finally end up with a properly assembled product.
Then we opened the Ellis crib box to find a slat in the front panel was warped. Here we go again.

Manufacturing problem
Where do I begin with the problems with this product! I purchased this dresser changer combo 8/10/07 from Amazon. It is now 9/19/07 and I still don't have a dresser/changer. I received the unit the week after I placed the order. The packaging and shipping was fairly intact. There were a few dents in the pieces but nothing major. Then the horror began when I tried to assemble the darn thing. First of all, they don't label any of the wood parts. Only the hardware came in its own packaging and was labeled. Part A, B, and C didn't fit. The instructions say to call Simplicity directly so I did. The person there tells me she thinks the top piece is the defective one since the left side panel and middle panel both didn't match up. OK.... so she sends me a new top piece. One and half week later, I receive it and it's wrong! So I call them again. They are now set to send out the Left and Middle panels. One week later, I call them because I haven't received them. I leave 2 messages. Finally, someone calls back and they are suppose to send them out right away. Another week passes...then I received 2 packages of the same parts. Fine, at least the parts fit. So... I continue the assembly of my unit until I got to the Right end panel. Yes, you guessed it! It doesn't fit! So, I call Simplicity again. They tell me they are going to send me another Right end panel. The next week, I receive another Right end panel that doesn't fit!!!! This story is sooooo ridiculous I can't even begin to understand how they stay in business. I call Simplicity again. All their customer service reps are busy (I wonder why) so I leave another message. At this point, I'm giving up... I may have to just call Amazon and try to return the product for my money back because I just can't put it together. I've even asked them to just send me a new unit, preferably one that someone has actually tried to put together and verified that it works! But...to no avail. If you are even thinking of purchasing this product, FORGET IT. It is not worth the time, money or headache or frustration. Simplicity??? There's nothing simple about it.

I couldn't put it together!!
I'm not rating the furniture or Simplicity, I'm rating Baby Universe for shipping the wrong furniture. I didn't notice that they sent a combo of the Walnut and Cherry changing tables from the Ellis line. So, when my friends and I attempted to put it together, the screw holes on the cabinet pieces didn't line up. I thought that maybe it was me, so I called my cousin, the handy-man, to see if he could fix it. As we looked closer, we noticed that some pieces were lighter than others. Simplicity instructs you to call them if something's wrong and I did. They're sending an entirely new unit to me and will pay for shipping to return the faulty/unmatched unit. I'm due in 2 weeks so I'm purchasing a playpen/changing table/bassinet in case I deliver before Simplicity does.

great furniture and very elegant looking.
My husband and I looked everywhere for our first baby furniture and decided to go with this style. We were totally happy when the changing tower came and really excited after we got the crib in and put them all together.
The furniture is very well put together and we could'nt be happier.

Great for the pirce
This arrived in 2 boxes (too heavy for my to carry inside) but I was able to put the whole thing together myself (no need for my husband to help out :) I am very impressed with the quality and you would never guess the price based on looks. Let's hope it holds out for all the kids we plan on having. One small complaint: some of the drawers seem to be too wide for the spaces. They are difficult to pull open, although it may be the way they were assembled. Overall a fantastic piece.

Quality Wood/Beautiful finish
I bought this for my daughter's room. The box it came in was somewhat rough but the wood to the unit was untouched. I was surprised by the heaviness of the unit as well as the beauty of the cherry finish. I took my time and enjoyed a beer putting it together so mixed up a screw once and had to backtrack a little bit. If you take your time with the screws, you should be able to put it together effortlessly. Make sure you have something to protect the wood as you build it, a quilt or blanket to keep it from getting scratched. In the end it is a great start to my coming daughters room. We plan on buying the crib to go with it soon. The finish is beautiful and wood is heavy with quality. In short, at this price, a great deal.

Beautiful Piece
Unlike the other reviews I had no problems. My unit was shipped within a week of purchase and all of the parts where intact. We put it togther in less than an hour and it is a very beautiful piece.

Buyer Be aware
I Received this item over two weeks ago and there were numerous things wrong. I immediately called target and explained the situation, they reffered me to simplicity's customer servive. I have spoke to simplicity three times and was promised each time that the 3 drawers would be replaced and sent ASAP! After not receiving the 1st time, I called and was told they need the model number, I think they should have known that already. I gave them the Model number and was promised it would be shipped over night. 6 days later ( today) I called back to find out what was going on and was told every thing is on back order and they should have it in within 3 weeks. I was told they will call me when it arrives. I am expecting the kid in 1 week but still I have no functionin changing table, lets see how target wll respond? Target has refunded me 20% and offered to replace the item with another item, since I have the matching dresser there is not a similiar combo unit, so we may end up with something that does not match.

What a great piece!!
After searching all price ranges, styles and brands of changing tables this is the one we bought. We were quite surprised at how nice, heavy and large it is for the price. It is also quite sturdy. It looks much better than in the picture. As long as you can read instructions, you can put this thing together. My wife put the whole thing together in a couple of hours. We did have one minor piece that was damaged, but that's a chance you must take when ordering something. I promptly called and explained our problem and without having to be on hold or talk to a series of people I was told that a replacement part would be sent right away with a sincere apology. We have also ordered the Simplicity Ellis crib, but it hasn't arrived yet. The drawers are nice and roomy, the top has a large space and all in all we were quite pleased with it. One tip: upon receiving it, take out all parts and inspect them for damage before preceding to put it together. Hope this helps!
