full size dresser that fits a changing pad?

Anyone have any luck finding a full size dresser that is the right height and depth for a changing pad?  preferably in the $200 range and black?  

I currently have this one on our list:

but I would like to find something with more drawers that can be used as a "normal" dresser and not have the explicit changing table look.  

 Thanks!

Ikea hemmes dresser in blackbrown. Not a perfect color match, but a very good dresser for the money.

You may want to look at the three-drawer IKEA Hemnes dresser. It was a little too tall for me to use as a changing table (I'm 5'2"), but it might work for you if you are taller.

The three-drawer Hemnes definitely fits a changing pad and maybe one other thing, but might be a tight squeeze if you are planning to put diapers, toiletries, and a wipe warmer on the dresser top. Not a big deal if you can put some of that stuff into one of the drawers or on a nearby shelf, though.

If you want to create more drawer space, definitely look into drawer dividers. We bought some SKUBB dividers while we were at IKEA. We ended up buying the Birkeland dresser, but a salesperson told me that those dividers would also fit the Hemnes dresser.

Yep, love it!

ETA: I have the 8 drawer one and it's a perfect height for me, and I'm 5'1".

Another vote to check out Ikea.  We have the Birkeland 3-drawer dresser and the pad fits great on top, with room for a basket full of diapers & cream, and wipes right next to it on the dresser top.  Ours is white, not sure what other colors is might come in.

I think its great quality, and although I don't remember the exact price, its in your range I believe.
