Definitely needs some time to off-gas, but really a lovely piece. It was well packaged and no noticiable flaws.  I'm using it as a sofa table. It fits wonderfully alongside the back of my Article couch and provides a lot of storage. The drawers and such all come installed (just need to put on feet) and are really secure, which is nice given it seems you have to do a ton of work to put furniture together these days. I definitely recommend!
