When I received the product it had a very bad pain/chemicals smell that i could not live with. The idea of exposing my child to the smell that might be harmful was horrifying me. I followed the cleaning instructions (mild soap and water) and aired the table for 10 days straight. I even kept the table on my balcony for 8 hrs  days ina row to make sure that the paint will cure, if it wasn't at first place. Nothing worked. I called Wayfair and got a replacement. The replacement smelled the same but not with the same intensity. It took 2 weeks for the smell to disappear. Aside this issue, it looks great and i like it.
