I received this wine rack this afternoon. Incredibly easy to assemble. I was concerned when I opened the box and smelling the distinct odour of insecticide. I mentioned this to a friend and she laughed. It is a requirement for all unsealed softwood entering North America to ensure that we do not unwittingly become an importer of hitchhikers from Asia (many examples that have caused much damage to our crops and forests). Simply airing the box outside for 20 minutes was all that was needed.
