The nightstand is a nightmare to my family. I still remembered the bad smell since the first day it came into house. Because I am too lazy to do the return paper work and hope the smell would be vanished sooner or later, I kept this in my bedroom. After 2 months, the bad smell is still there. According to one of my friends, the smell might be from formaldehyde which could poison the air we breath. I would never ever buy any product from this brand!!!!!!!!!
