Like this trunk. Had a very strong smell from the stain. Lasted several days. Purchased for our living room to provide storage for our baby blankets and toys. Smell did transfer to blankets on the bottom that were in direct contact with trunk. This was after airing it out for a few days. Not completely upset by this, but a little disappointed. Have had trunk for several months and smell no longer noticeable. Overall, like the trunk. Fits our needs.
