It is unusual that any of our products have an odor. All of our beds are built from pine wood and are finished in no-VOC, water-based paint. In some cases, you may notice a slight paint smell, typical of any painted or stained item. If this is the case, we recommend taking the bed out of the box and letting it air out for a couple of days before assembly. Rest assured that your bed has been safety tested with the painted finished, and has passed all required safety regulations.
