If possible, I would like to give this negative stars. This bed is beautiful and sturdy. Our kids loved it. However, from day 1, the room in which we put it in, had a very strong off gassing type of smell. We were worried about it especially since our kids spend 10 hours a night sleeping on this bunk and trundle. We thought we would wait out the off gassing. We were worried everyday while we waited as our kids are still sleeping on it. Our kids started to wrinkle up their noses through out the day maybe every 15 minutes as though their noses as though they had some allergy. We took the bed apart and took it out to the balcony. Immediately, the room smelled much better and normal. The next day, the bedroom continued to smell much better. Our kids allergic reaction also subsided. This bedframe seems to be polyed (which may mean it has some sort of chemical coating over the wood then covered by paint). My wife and I have been exhausted by this ordeal putting the bed together, playing the waiting game while being worried for our kids, taking it apart, trying to put the pieces pack into the box, shopping for a new bunk bed, putting the new bunk bed together.
