I really wanted to like this box. Very study and well made but it stinks! I mean really sinks. I tried for several weeks to air it out but i couldn’t i wanted to put pillows and blankets for my sleeper sofa as well as a coffee table. I thought i had it aired out but nope put sheets and pillows in it and they reek of the smell. I’m not sure what they used to paint or stain the wood but I’m pretty sure its toxic!
