This sand box is absolutely fantastic. I bought it for our playroom. My intention was to use it without sand as a role play and reading area. The childrens told me they wanted a pirate ship in their playroom and this fit the bill for size etc. 

I love it however I with I had known ahead that it off gases as juch as it does. Truely it smells very "woody" coming out of the box. I don't know if it's presure treated or what but it's pretty strong. Outside it probably wouldn't be that noticable but in our play room it's aweful. We leave the windows and door open to ventilate as often as possible and I'm hoping it will dissipate with some time and we won't have to get rid of it.
