I purchased this desk a little over a month ago and the desk had a strong chemical odor since day one.  I have tried different multi-surface wipes, furniture polish, soap/water to clean the desk and opened my window daily in hopes the odor would disappear, but the desk still has the chemical odor. After having headaches and allergy issues daily when using the desk, I have decided to donate the desk and purchase another since I cannot return it. I also purchase another desk from Wayfair during this time and I did not have an issue.
