How do you repurpose/restore a wooden baby changing table?




The slats that hold the shelves were removed and the pressed wood shelves are wet from outdoor exposure (abandoned by the roadside). Has many promising qualities.

You could put plywood in place of the wet shelves and turn it into a potting stand.
Turn into a desk and just remove the wet shelves.
Make a bar cart by adding wheels and replacing the wet shelves.
Convert to a bench.
Baskets below for general storage.
Book case conversion.
If you don't want to replace the slats, you can use brackets to hold the shelf replacements in place.
So many things you can do, just depends on what you need in your home. Great Find!
Here's some ideas for you! Many! Hopefully you will be inspired with any one of these ideas!

I found an IKEA changing table turn into cat station top shelf was the cats feeding station bonus dogs no longer eat cat food, bottom shelf held storage for cat food and needed supplies
Here is one that I painted. Yours may be too damaged to just paint and use as it. Maybe you could use the spindles or rails for the back of a bench, or mount on a wall to hang things from. Great find!
Would you send a picture...thanks
If it has open shelving you can purchase baskets to go on the shelves and use it for storage.
