Two weeks later the off-gassing is still strong. I don't know what kind of stain they used, but it is very strong. I am keeping the windows and doors open to the room. If they are closed, the smell is overwhelming two weeks later. As expected the instructions were challenging. One of the images is extremely misleading/incorrect. (The large side of the sill should be on the outside of the bed on the bottom headboard and footer, but the image shows it facing in.) One of the screws was not machined properly and cannot be screwed in because the indent for the hex wrench isn't deep enough. Currently submitting a request for a new part.
