I purchased this crib with changing table from the same manufacturer in black. The crib like the changing table had a very bad paint/chemicals smell that I could not get rid off even after 10 days of airing out the crib and washing it per the manufacture instructions. The smell reminded me of burned charcoal grill (nothing like uncurred paint). After speaking with Wayfair I received a replacement that also smelled bad but not as much as the first one. After short period of time the smell was gone. Aside this issue, the crib is very good looking and came in excellent shape - no scratches or dents like reported by other customers.
