This wood wall art piece is very pretty and looks like it is well made.  I don't like the color or the distressed look.  I plan to paint them or stain them I'm not sure yet.  However, when they arrived, they have such a strong smell that we cannot keep them in our home they have to sit in the garage.  They have smelled up the garage and when we open the door to the garage the smell comes into the house.  It is like a mildew or moldy smell.  If that is what it is, I am highly allergic.  I don't know if I got some bad ones or what to make of this smelly situation.  If you have any ideas of what I can do please let me know.  I think it should be brought to the attention of Joss and Main since they are the source but they are actually made in India.
