Although the design is beautiful and just want I needed, I had to return it about 5 days after identifying it as the reason for causing me to be sick. I have purchased furniture from Wayfair and had no issues but within about 6 hours of putting together this chest and sleeping in the same room, I started having a cough. It kept getting worse and after having a productive cough, two nose bleeds, chest tightness, and a headache, I had to see a doctor that confirmed my symptoms were due to prolonged exposure to the formaldehyde and/or VOCs from this chest. The clothes and other items I placed inside got contaminated which I'm still trying to decontaminate. Placing them in the sun outside doesn't seem to help. The box indicated it was produced in 9/2024 but even after 4 months it still gives off a chemical smell. It's mostly strong if you get really close to it but but I would not recommend placing inside in an enclosed space until it completely off gasses. I had two air filters and carbon activated packs in my room but nothing made me fell better except removing the chest from my house. I initiated a return and really hope they don't resell it but I would exercise caution with this product if produced from the same factory or if you have a lung disease. The design was great and it was easy to put together and easy to take it apart. The hardest part was the return since the box weighs about 88 lbs so I had to get help moving it from the second floor of my home and to the local FedEx in person to do a return. It's too bad because I really liked the design and the 7 drawers.
