We started putting the bed together in the bedroom and the smell from the wood was overpowering us. We have now placed all the components in the garage, it is now day two and the off gassing smell is still strong. We are hoping that the smell will eventually go away, but time will tell. We definitely don’t the smell in the house.  So, my granddaughter will have to wait for her home away from home to be ready. Very disappointed….the wood quality seems very good though. I will finish my rating once we can put the bed together.
