I bought two of these headboard in twin size for my sons' room.  HOWEVER, when I opened the boxes they both had an overwhelmingly musty/mildew smell.  I understand these are made of natural fibers, its like the fibers were woven when wet and they did not let it dry sufficiently before packaging. I tried letting them air out for several days and even had them sitting in the sun for a day.  Nothing helped. Very disappointed as I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE LOOK of these, but just could not subject my kids to night after night of breathing in musty/mildew odors right next to their pillow!
