I figured that a changing table would be somewhat short-lived, so I wasn't looking for anything too elaborate - that is what I got. I don't know how much the shelves can really hold. The shelves are made of very flimsy particle board. The top shelf is reinforced, so I'm not concerned that it won't hold an infant, but I likely won't be using this piece for too long. The lower shelves won't hold much beyond diapers and perhaps some linens.
Color is darker than other espresso finishes.
It is priced appropriately - inexpensive for moderate quality.
