Storkcraft Brookside 6 Drawer Chest with Changing Topper and Change Pad, Espresso, Nursery Dresser Review (2026)

What comes in the bundle

This listing bundles three pieces: a 6 drawer Brookside dresser, a matching changing topper that sits on top, and a water resistant, four sided contoured changing pad. Buying them together means a nursery gets a functional diaper changing station on day one rather than needing to source a topper and pad separately after choosing a dresser. The dresser itself is built from wood composites with a PU coated surface designed to resist scuffs and to wipe clean, which matters given how often a dresser top and drawer fronts get touched and occasionally wiped down during diaper changes and daily use.

Size and construction

Assembled, the dresser measures about 53.35 inches wide by 16.73 inches deep by 33.43 inches tall and weighs around 119 pounds, so it needs a long wall and a couple of people to move and assemble safely. The six drawers run on Euro style glides and use an interlocking drawer safety feature so only one drawer can typically be opened fully at a time, which is a common tip over prevention design on modern nursery dressers. Because of its size and weight, the dresser should be anchored to the wall with the included or purchased anti tip hardware, which is standard safety guidance for any tall, heavy furniture piece in a room used by young children.

Certifications and materials

Storkcraft states the Brookside dresser is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, meaning it has been tested for chemical emissions against strict limits intended to support better indoor air quality, which is a relevant certification for nursery furniture that sits close to where a baby sleeps and is changed. The included changing pad is described as water resistant, which helps with quick cleanup during changes, though a water resistant pad is not the same as fully waterproof, so a washable pad cover is still worth using for easier long term cleaning. A pad cover also gives a softer surface for a baby to lie on and can simply be tossed in the wash rather than needing to wipe down the pad itself after every change.

Long term storage use

Six drawers give substantially more storage than a typical three or four drawer nursery dresser, which means the piece can keep serving as a regular bedroom dresser well after a child outgrows the need for a changing topper. Parents can remove the topper and pad once diaper changing is done and use the dresser on its own, extending its useful life into the toddler and older child years rather than needing to replace it. The espresso finish is a dark, warm brown tone that tends to hide fingerprints and small marks better than white finishes, while still pairing with a range of crib colors.

Who should buy this

This dresser suits parents who want a single furniture piece that handles both diaper changing and long term clothing storage, and who have wall space for a wide, six drawer chest. The GREENGUARD Gold certification will matter to parents specifically prioritizing indoor air quality in the nursery. Parents working with a narrow wall or a smaller room may find the width impractical and should measure carefully before ordering, and anyone assembling alone should plan for help given the dresser's substantial weight once built and the number of drawer glides that need to be installed correctly.
