2 IKEA Changing Table Hacks! Upcycle It When Baby Grows Up

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.

Beth 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 4-TROFAST changing table with more storage

Shelli’s pretty much the same idea, but with 5 TROFAST units. Three of them form the base. For more storage, she added a TROFAST wall unit and a TROFAST unit stacked on top of the bottom unit.

She also wrapped a piece of plywood with fabric under the changing pad.
