Dark Wood Changing Table Dresser

This item is a wooden changing table dresser with a rich, dark brown finish, likely a stained hardwood or veneer, exhibiting a warm, reddish undertone. It features a total of five drawers, arranged in a configuration of two smaller drawers side-by-side at the top, followed by three full-width, progressively deeper drawers below. The drawer fronts are plain with a recessed finger-pull style handle integrated directly into the top edge of each drawer, eliminating the need for external hardware. The top surface of the dresser is designed as a changing table with a raised lip or barrier on the back and sides, presumably to safely contain a changing pad. The construction appears to be solid, with clear indications of wood grain visible through the finish. There are some visible signs of wear and tear, consistent with its age and use, including light scuffs and scratches on the surface and drawer fronts, particularly around the integrated handles, suggesting a well-used but functional piece. The overall condition suggests a vintage or mid-century piece, possibly from the 1960s to 1980s, given the utilitarian design and common wood finishes of that era. There are no obvious maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided image. The quality of craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced furniture of its style, focusing on functionality and durability. The absence of ornate details contributes to a clean, transitional aesthetic.
