The smell was awful. I set the parts outside for a few hours but didn't help and it's still stinky months after assembly. On the upside, the design is ideal for my needs as a coffee island in my small kitchen and the price was right. Provides additional storage without taking up space. The imitation marble top looks realistic and makes it look more expensive than it is. 

Pros: inexpensive, sturdy, small and compact, easy to assemble
Cons: very strong formaldehyde smell, only available in white when I purchased
