When I opened the box, it had a VERY funny smell. Smelled like an old old furniture. So I aired it out in the garage for 2 days. FYI, my entire 2.5 car garage stunk up like that stale wood.  But I brought it in anyways after 2 days and it still stinks. My living room smells cuz of it.  It’s a pretty design but not worth 353 I paid for.  Will be returning.
