Trofast changing table

No need to buy an expensive changing table. Just top a Trofast shelving unit with a changing table pad, just like how Beth and Shelli did theirs.

This is from Beth, who cut a piece of plywood 1" larger than the changing table pad. She wrapped the plywood with teal fleece and her husband secured the plywood to the Trofast with a couple of L brackets.



She says, "It ended up costing a bit more than a regular changing table but we'll be using it a lot longer. I like that they also sell shelves for the Trofast so that we can turn parts of this into a bookcase if we need to."

Shelli's pretty much the same but uses 4 Trofast units, a piece of plywood, fabric, a Trofast wall unit, a scrap piece of lumber and a changing pad.

  1. I've seen people do this before - I do like the Trofast for this. I, however, slapped a changing pad on top of a Malm 3-drawer dresser. Even cheaper! Especially since the Malm was on sale.

  2. Love the color scheme in the first photo! Is that a pink floor I see?

  3. I find this hack strange considering ikea sells a changing table top for trofast for about $30

  4. A pink floor would be lovely! But no, it's deep red (a stock color of Lowe's floor paint).

    I didn't see a $30 changing table top when we bought this system last year and the piece of plywood we had in our basement was free. Yay, free!

  5. That is one of the best changing table I ever saw. It is very organize and very clean. I wish that I have that kind of changing table in my house.
