This changing table came well packaged. Once I took everything out and got my head around what was what, it was actually easy to put together. Once locked, it's super sturdy. There's lots of room for diapers and such. I'm not sure if it's modern looking or old fashioned looking. It's a mix. It's simple and nonfussy. It's actually pretty good size. It has measurements which might come in handy, although they may just be for looks. I could do without them. It has a strap to help contain the little one. It's not super padded, but I don't think baby things are supposed to be. It's pretty easy to release everything and pull it together to take with you. That part if it is nice for new parents on the go. You can take it to grandma's house or wherever. I picked it up for my grandson who is on the way. I'm going to keep it in the corner of my living room. It actually works well with the decor. It doesn't stand out like a sore thumb. I'm going to keep clothes and supplies all together for baby. All in all, I'm pleased with it.
