I purchased this bed because among other things, it advertised a non/toxic, low VOC finish.
I am not sure why, but we have finally assembled it a week ago and it still emits a VERY STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL.
I have left the window open every day, and at night I have turned on the air purifier in that bedroom.
I am still not allowing my child to sleep in that bed and he is very disappointed, but I am concerned about the toxicity in the air.
I am very disappointed about this. We will wait another week and hope that it will improve. I have actually purchased two. I will wait to unbox the second until I know that the first will lose the smell. Otherwise I will return it.
Other than that it looks great, it is sturdy, and it is relatively easy to assemble. Good and inexpensive
STRONG, LASTING ODOR
