I love the quality of the bed, the clear assembly instructions, and the extra space it provides in my daughters room. However, we have had it for a week now and it has an awful smell! I’m hoping that it will go away over time but it does have a very harsh musty smell that takes over her bedroom and hallway. We have wiped it down with furniture polish after putting it together but that really didn’t help.  I’m hoping having the windows open will allow it to air out a bit and the smell will deminish.
