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

What comes in the bundle

This listing bundles the 6 drawer Brookside dresser with a matching changing topper and a water resistant, four sided contoured changing pad, in the pebble gray finish rather than espresso. Buying the pieces together means the changing station and dresser color match exactly, which matters since topper shapes and finishes vary between dresser lines and are not always interchangeable. The dresser body is built from wood composites with a PU coated surface intended to be easy to wipe down, a practical feature for a piece of furniture that doubles as a diaper changing station during a baby's early months and continues to see daily use long after that stage ends.

Size and construction

The assembled dresser shares the same footprint as the espresso version, at roughly 53.35 inches wide by 16.73 inches deep by 33.43 inches tall and about 119 pounds once built, so the same space planning applies regardless of finish color. The six drawers run on Euro style glides with an interlocking safety feature that limits more than one drawer opening fully at once, a common tip resistance design in modern nursery furniture. Given its height and weight, the dresser should be secured to the wall with anti tip hardware, standard practice for tall furniture in any room used by a young child. Assembly generally goes faster with two people given the number of drawers and glide tracks involved.

Color and finish

Pebble gray is a lighter, cooler toned finish compared to the dark brown espresso option, and it tends to read as more contemporary in nurseries built around gray, white, or pastel color schemes. Because paint and stain finishes vary between manufacturers, this exact pebble gray tone may not be an identical match to a gray crib from a different brand, so parents matching multiple pieces of furniture should compare the actual dresser finish against their crib in person or through close up photos rather than relying on the listing thumbnail alone, since screen colors and lighting can shift the apparent tone noticeably from what actually arrives at the door.

Certifications and long term use

Like the espresso version, Storkcraft lists this dresser as GREENGUARD Gold Certified, indicating it has been tested against strict chemical emissions limits, a relevant point for furniture placed close to where an infant sleeps and is changed. The six drawer layout gives enough storage to continue serving as a normal bedroom dresser well past the diaper changing years, since the topper and pad can be removed once a child transitions out of using a changing table, extending the furniture's useful life into the toddler years and beyond as a standard clothing dresser.

Who should buy this

This version suits parents who want the same Brookside dresser and changing bundle as the espresso option but prefer a lighter, gray toned nursery palette. It fits rooms with enough wall length for a wide six drawer chest and works well for parents prioritizing GREENGUARD certification. As with the espresso finish, a narrow room or wall may not comfortably fit this dresser, and the substantial assembled weight means having a second person on hand for delivery and assembly is worth planning for well before the dresser arrives at the door.
