Beautiful looking desk but we had a terrible experience will the smell of it. I haven't read it was a problem for anyone else but it's been 8 days and although the smell seems to be getting better it's still there.  The worst part is my daughter loves it so I'm having a hard time separating it from her. I will give it a few more days then I'm returning it. I'm bummed out to be experiencing this.  My advice is smell the pieces first and if they stink don't bother putting it together .. return it because it is taking forever to "air out".
