The cabinet has a strong smell and a California State warning printed on the packaging about how it contains a dangerous amount of chemicals. My wife is pregnant, so this is something I would very much like to have known BEFORE purchasing (two of them). I aired the pieces out in the garage for a couple weeks and that helped. The only other negative is that the drawer that pulls out should have a brace along the middle to help support weight. We use it as a spice drawer, and the bottom separates from the front panel due to the weight. Other than that, this is nice looking piece that provides plenty of added storage in our kitchen.
Beware Chemical Smell, but good looking
