Gotta love the slew of negative comments so typical on AT. I barely have time to leave positive comments on things I /like/...don't know how people can manage to leave do many negative comments on stuff they hate!

I have had an Ikea Malm dresser for 2 1/2 years now. It's survived 2 separate 3,000 mile moves and still is like new. I'm very happy with it. In fact, we just bought another for our daughter's room. Seeing this amazing makeover had me dreaming up ways to customize hers!

We use the Summer Infant contoured changing pad & cover as a "baby mattress" between us on the bed. It's a very inexpensive option and has worked well for us.

We own the Blames! Unfortunately, as our baby is tooooo young (due today!),I can't give a proper review. I can say that it appears to be a very high-quality, sturdy design...and the tray looks easy to clean.

I've had great luck cleaning grubby Converse by throwing them in the washer with a generous two cups of ammonia, a bit of detergent, and an old towel (this rubs against the shoes while the cycle agitates).
