The shape and color of this storage unit were perfect BUT the smell was horrible. We tried to let the shelving 'air out' for a few days on the covered porch and it was interesting how people walking up to our house questioned the fumes coming from this piece. After 5 days of the smell not going away (We brought it back inside and decided to try it out but the room smelled like the paint/glue fumes in a matter of minutes and it was taken back outside), I decided this was not the best product for us or the safety of our child. I would not suggest putting this in a child's room for fear the smell would cause headaches or worse. I am not exaggerating when I say this smell is intense.
