We ordered two of these to flank a bay window seat. I believe they will be great once we can actually use them. The smell of the stain is completely overwhelming. They were easy to assemble and did not take long. However in that time I had a horrible headache from the smell. Luckily it was a 60 degree January day so we opened the windows and screen doors to air out. The smell was still overpowering and we removed the shelves and left them on the screened in porch for three days. We brought them back in and out them up. Unfortunatey a few hours later I had another headache from the smell. So the shelves are back on the porch. Again the unit looks great and is just as advertised but the smell. Be prepared to air them out and cure the stain for quite a while. I'm disappointed I still can't use them.
