The Good: the bed arrived in good shape and in 2 days time. We were pleasantly surprised by the color - the mahogany was darker and less red than depicted online. The bed is sturdy and the legs are indeed solid pine - the slats, however are plywood - not solid pine as indicated and the headboard is veneered.

The Not So Good: After unwrapping the bed had a strong chemical smell. The product meets TSCA Title VI Phase II requirements for formaldehyde (with ppm below the odor threshold) so I doubt it was off-gassing of the particleboard - maybe the lacquer or varnish? Wish the manufacturer has let is breath more prior to packing.
