Everything ready for the offspring. And the showpiece is the changing table. The curtains come from the Ikea collection, and of course the roll box from the Sten system.
In terms of performance, which the hobby carpenter has to provide, the changing table is certainly the simplest of our four construction proposals. You get the roll box pre-assembled from Ikea, and the remodeling of Sten actually only consists of the upper decoration and the laying on of the coated chipboard, which serves as a changing table.
In addition to a carpenter, a tailor is also required. The requirements for the sewing work are similarly simple. Three lengths of fabric must be measured, tailored, sewn and provided with hemstitch in the right places. The two panels for the sides have a hemstitch at the top and bottom, so that you can push them onto the round bars. It gets a little more complicated with the fabric for the back, which merges into a sky above. It is best to first attach the fastening rods and then determine the dimensions for the fabric and the distances between the hemstitching. The support cross to stabilize the furniture is invisible behind the fabric.
Who would also like to work as a painter, can design the dresser attachment or the roll box in color. The box is also very suitable, to stow the diaper supplies or a bucket for the used diapers. There is space on the floor above the box for other utensils.
The changing table top is larger than the shelves. It is notched on the studs and has semicircular strips in front of the edges. An ornament in the form of a turret is sawn out of a laminated wood panel. It'll come up on the shelf later. The side parts of the ornament are sawn out like castle battlements. You can glue and screw them to the front piece with corner blocks. With a 10 mm drill bit, holes are made for thin round rods (Kiefer) drilled. The fabric will be stretched over this later. The existing holes on the sides can be used for the “curtain rods”.. Slide the fabric over the rods. The only change to the rolling crate: a colored plastic handle, which is exchanged for the simple standard version made of sheet metal.
